::URGENT:: Making A Newsletter Out Of Flash.


Dear Reader,

Im about to make a newsletter to send out to many subscribers. I couldn't decide whether to use Quark 5.0, or Photoshop 7.0.
Then I remembered I had seen that a newsletter can be made with flash.
How does this work?
Can I include it in an email, or do I have to link them to a site?
Does the .swf remain small?
Are there any examples on the web, or tutorials anywhere?

Thanks.

Flash And Newsletter
Hi Flashers,

I'm not a Flash Scripter as I do only animations, but getting in Scripting and need you're help. I'm designing a website in which I added a Flash Newsletter table. Actually, I haven't worked on it yet but I kept a Input text bar with a button (with the script "go to and Play(2)") and in he second frame I had a text "Thank You".

Now the main problem is I want visitors to input their email address into it and their email address should get added in my Excel / Access database, which I can further use to send them the Newsletter. Now I don't know how to embed Excel /Access with Flash. Whaht sript should I give to that button. What database I need to structure out for this. I also need the possibility that user should enter "@" sign in their email address and all.

I hope you people understand what I mean and will help me......

Thanks for Advance.....

Newsletter Flash System
1. Does anybody knows what is the best way to send a lot of emails from Flash using PHP?

The only way I can imagine of how to do this, its by sending an array with the email adresses from Flash to a PHP script that will keep sending emails until the end of the array...

2. Do you know any PHP script or Flash newsletter system that already does this thing?

Happy New Year!

Flash & HTML Newsletter
I've got a client who wants to have some animations added to their HTML
enewsletter. I can see creating animated gifs but what is the current view
with Flash elements within an HTML enewsletter? I haven't seen any Flash
pieces within such emails and I'm sure there are a variety reasons for not
doing it, one of which has to do with spam filters and virus protection
issues.

Appréciâtes the feedback.

Newsletter - How To Send Via Flash
Hello!
I working on a project where I have to make a "Sign up for newsletter" feature. I'm working with campaignMonitor, and my code in html is looking like this.

<form action="http://mismo.cmail1.com/s/99731/" method="post">
<div>
<label for="name">Name:</label><br /><input type="text" name="name" id="name" /><br />
<label for="l99731-99731">Email:</label><br /><input type="text" name="cm-99731-99731" id="l99731-99731" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</div>
</form>

Is it possiple to "convert" into flash - so that I'll make aflash form instead. I have never worked with flash that way before - sending data!

Hope to hear from someone - so I can go on ;-) Thanks!

Flash Newsletter Form And Php Backend
Hello,

I have seen a flash form with php backend tutorial somewhere. Does anyone know where I can find one. I have the flash form created and a flash response. I wasn going to use the http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...83/more7.shtml creating an interactive flsah form script and modify it for a post instead of a get and call my php email script. Anyone have a better idea? or a link to that php flash form tutorial script. I just can't locate it again, and it takes forever to navigate this site.

Newsletter Solution Apache, Flash, PHP, MySQL
Hello,

I'm hoping someone has already crossed this path. I just found out a couple of days ago that we'll be taking on a newletter mailing list.

We have a dedicated server and it's robust enough to handle it and we will being using Linux, Apache, Flash, PHP and MySQL.

The registration form will need to collect the usual name and email address, but the client needs to collect demographic information so a few custom fields will be required and it will need to be opt-in and stored in MySQL. It would be nice if registrants had to enter a visual field as well to help keep the bots at bay.

The newsletter system itself, needs to be robust, user friendly, and bug free.

Is there a total package out there I can buy, or does anyone know a developer who does customized newsletter packages?

All I've been able to find is PHP, MySQL packages, I've done some hacking on one or two the but best I can achieve so far is imputing the data into MySQL using a separate PHP form (haven't figured out how to get fields with alpha characters to show up in the db), the biggest problem though is the opt-in or double opt-in, that gets bypassed altogether. Which I why I am here.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Third Party Newsletter Service - Is There A Flash/Actionscript Solution?
Hello,

I'm looking for some advice or help. I work with a customer who really needs to have a flash/actionscript frontend for their subscription form but are using a subscription service to collect and process their mailing lists and need to do so for legal reasons.

Here is the code for a very basic version of the what we have to work with in html


Code:
<!-- START CODE -->
<FORM ACTION="http://theserviceused.com/ex/manage/subscriberprefs.aspx" METHOD="POST">
<FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="arial, helvetica">
<STRONG>Register for email updates</STRONG>
</FONT>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="email" />
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="customerid" value="000000" />
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" value="Sign up" style="background-color:white;color:green;font-weight:bold" />
</FORM>
<!-- END CODE -->
Is it possible to create a flash frontend with this information alone? I cannot get access to the subscriberprefs.aspx file, and I doubt that I ever will. The Flash version I have is Flash 8.

AS2/PHP Newsletter?
I've had a search on the forums, but haven't found exactly what I am looking for.

I have a commision for a website, and they need a simple newsletter, where people sgn up from the flash site, and they can send a bulk newsletter etc.

I would imagine a simple db or text file would suffice, where they can manually add the collected email addresses and send out a newsletter, rather than a dedicated control panel.

Does anyone know of a Flash newsletter script, preferably AS2 and PHP?

Cheers,
Joe

[F8] XML Newsletter-ish Tutorial?
first off, i didn't know if i should put this in the xml forum because this deals mainly with XML or this forum because it is something that seems simple.
i'm making a flash site, and i would rather not have to reopen and change the fla every time i want to change something like a picture, or write an article or something.
from what i have read, it seems that this can be best accomplished with XML.
what i need to know how to do:
a script that loads a picture from the xml file into a alotted area on screen(guessing a blank MC)
a script that lets me populate a scrollable textfield with text from the xml file



anybody know any tutorials that can help me with that?

Little Newsletter Thing
Happy New Year to Everyone Here at Kirupa!

I got this little news letter thing that I am trying to get working heres the layout of the little guy:

All in one MC called: newsletter_mc
A dynamic text field, a button and a background image.

when user enters email address and presses button time line goes to nextFrame and plays (text field and button fades out.) thank you appears and then goes back to frame one (text field fades in and button fades in) and stops on frame 5.

soooo. with that being said I am having issues still, here is the AS i have written:

Code:
Frame 5 (because items fade in)
(dynamic text field variable is email, this is within a comp movie clip)
stop();
this.comp.email.text = "Enter Email";
this.comp.email.onSetFocus = email.text = "";

on button-
on (release) {
if (this.comp.email.text eq "") {
stop();
} else {
loadVariablesNum("email.php", 0, "POST");
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
}

on frame 12 after everything fades out.
gotoAndPlay(2);
Basically a text field that user puts in email hits button it all fades out then comes back and sets it self to "" (blank) the problem i am having is that the email stays in the field. Any ideas?
Thanks inadvance yall.

Listbox - External Newsletter
Hi,

I have a listbox that I populate with a title and data from an external .txt file as follows :

var listBoxData = new LoadVars();
listBoxData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var i = 0;
while (this["title" + i] != undefined) {
myList.addItem(this["title" + i], this["data" + i]);
++i;
}
} else {
trace("couldn't load file");
}
};
listBoxData.load("infos.txt");

the txt file is setup as follows :

&title0=INFOS N°1&
&data0=info1.txt&
&title1=INFOS N°2&
&data1=info2.txt&
&title2=INFOS N°3&
&data2=info3.txt&
&title3=INFOS N°4&
&data3=info4.txt&
&title4=INFOS N°5&
&data4=info5.txt&
&title5=INFOS N°6&
&data5=info6.txt&

I have a dynamic text box in my movie in which I want to load in the INFO newsletters according to the selection in the listbox.

For this I use the following script, which obviously doesn't work

function load_exe() {
loadVariablesNum(myList.getValue(), 0);
nextFrame();
}
stop();

What am I doing wrong here ?

Thx for your help.

Creating An Editable Newsletter
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is probably a topic relating to this but I don't know what to search for to find it!

I have a website created in Flash and my customer wants to create a postcode driven information page, so that when a user enters a particular postcode (or clicks on a specific are of a map) they get a new page that opens and contains text relating to their locality. The client would also like to be able to update this text on a regular basis from there own pc terminals.

Could anyone suggest any topics that cover this, the best way to do it or give me any answers to get me started.

Thankyou

How Do I Go About Getting A Newsletter Form On My Site?
Hi! I made a very simple teaser-type, coming-soon sort of site for my band, who is coming out with an album. I'd like to throw a newsletter sign up form on there, however. Can anyone offer up some ways I could do it?

Should I do it entirely in flash, or link to an HTML signup page? I'd like for someone to just enter their email address, click a button, and that's that.

I'm pretty intermediate. Don't know much actionscript. Thanks in advance for your expertise!

Newsletter Form Problems
Hi! I did the "Send email with PHP" tutorial at http://www.gotoandlearn.com (twice!) and added the form to my site at http://www.vocables.org, and it's not working.

The funny thing is, when I test the form in Flash, the PHP script doesn't send the data where it's supposed to, but Flash at least responds to this and goes to the "error" frame. When I upload it to my server, however, nothing happens when you click the "send" button.

Any ideas?

Alec


PS - I've posted on the official flash forum to no avail. http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/we...8&forumid =15

[F8] Sign Up/newsletter Problem
Hello,

I hope anyone can help me fix the following problem. I downloaded a newsletter, but it doesn't work when I upload it on my server. I'm using a php server and everything is placed in the same directory. What I understood is that I need to make an adjustment in the php file.

my php code:

PHP Code:



<?php

if (!eregi("^[_.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+.)+[a-z]{2,3}$", $_GET["email"]))
    {
    print "error=invalid email";
    die();
    }

$fp = fopen("emails.txt", "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize("emails.txt"));
fclose($fp);

if (eregi($_GET["email"], $content))
    {
    print "error=duplicate email";
    die();
    }

$fp = fopen("emails.txt", "a+");
if (fwrite($fp, $_GET["email"]."
"))
    print "status=ok";
fclose($fp);
?>





On my button i use this action script

Code:
on (release) {
error = "";
loadVariablesNum("http://www.mydomainname.com/subscribe.php?email="+_root.email, 0, "GET");
}
I added the fla file I'm using so maybe you can see where things go wrong.
I hope you can help me.
