Error with VideoPhoneLabs.mxml. Please Help- Any help is appreciated!

Question

hello, I set my local to always use P2P, but I still get an error using the VideoPhoneLabs.mxml
I type in a user name, and while I type characters, I get the warning:
warning: unable to bind to property 'length' on class 'String' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)
But I don't think this is my problem.
When I click connect I get this:

yes, reg.cgi is intended to be a web service. its URL will depend on where and how you install it, and on your web server.
i suggest looking at your web server logs (especially the error log) to see if there's any information to help you diagnose and debug your installation.  you can also use a command line tool like "curl" to try to connect to the web service and see if you can register and look up ids.
for example, if you installed reg.cgi in your web server at www.example.com in the cgi-bin directory, its url might be
  http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/reg.cgi
registering might look like:
% curl 'http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/reg.cgi?username=mike&identity=1234'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<result>
          <update>true</update>
</result>
lookup might look like:
% curl 'http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/reg.cgi?friends=mike'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<result>
          <friend>
                    <user>mike</user>
                    <identity>1234</identity>
          </friend>
</result>
using the command line tool might show you an error message that could help you diagnose your problem.  the source code for reg.cgi is short and should be pretty self explanatory (it's very basic Python).  if you get an error like "<update>false</update>" that means the database insert failed.  the most likely cause for that is a bad database location or permission problems on the database files.  keep in mind the database files and the directory they live in must be writable by the web server.
