Flash :: AS3 + PHP Contact Form Issue

Contact Form Issue
hey again

as you know i am currently building a full flash website which has now been uploaded to:
http://www.jacobian.809m.com/Session/NP/

This was a Template Monster template that the photographer bought and asked me to edit for him so i do not really know alot about it...
(hence all the questions)

but this is hopefully my last question about it...

if you go to the contact us page, there was a contact form included with the site. but i have no idea how to get it to work.
so that when people type their details and comments then press "send" it sends it to the required email address...

all you are given when purchasing the template is the fla and some psds...
but dont contact forms need more files?
im not sure.. i have looked around for tutorials on how to make my own but have not been able to integrate them into this template to make the form work...
(im not very good with actionscript)

hope you understand what i am asking..
and if you need them, the source files can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?0x5mmm90x9n

again thank you.
Kind Regards,
Jacobian

Contact Form Issue With AS3 And Php
so i'm trying to make a Contact form that would be sent thorugh email from a web page... but something just doesn't work... i think the code, both PHP and AS3 is correct but i wanna double check it out with you ppl... so here is the code:

PHP:

Code:
<?php
/*
--- Created By Adam @ www.developphp.com ---
--- For help or script expansion join our forums there ---
--- Use this code as your own any way you like ---
*/
// Create local PHP variables from the info the user gave in the Flash form
$senderName = $_POST['userName'];
$senderEmail = $_POST['userEmail'];
$senderMessage = $_POST['userMsg'];

// Strip slashes on the Local variables
$senderName = stripslashes($senderName);
$senderEmail = stripslashes($senderEmail);
$senderMessage = stripslashes($senderMessage);

//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! change this to your email !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$to = "dpcdpc11@gmail.com";

$from = "contact@mytestingsite.atwebpages.com";
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
//Begin HTML Email Message
$message = <<<EOF
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Name = $senderName 
Email = <a href="mailto:$senderEmail">$senderEmail</a> 
Message = $senderMessage 
</body>
</html>
EOF;
//end of message
$headers = "From: $from
";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html
";
$to = "$to";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

exit();
?>
AS3:

Code:
stop();

import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
// ----------------------------------------------------------------
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("email.php");
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data = variables;

status_txt.text = "";

submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ValidateAndSend);

function ValidateAndSend(event:MouseEvent):void{

//validate form fields
if(!name_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Please enter your name.";
} else if(!email_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Please enter an email address";
} else if(!validateEmail(email_txt.text)) {
status_txt.text = "Please enter a VALID email address";
} else if(!msg_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Please enter a message.";
} else {

status_txt.text = "Thanks " + name_txt.text + ", your message has been sent!";

variables.userName = name_txt.text;
variables.userEmail = email_txt.text;
variables.userMsg = msg_txt.text;
variables.subject = subject_txt.text;
varLoader.load(varSend);

gotoAndStop(2);

}
}

function validateEmail(str:String):Boolean {
var pattern:RegExp = /(w|[_.-])+@((w|-)+.)+w{2,4}+/;
var result:Object = pattern.exec(str);
if(result == null) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
and here is the link to the contact form on the server: http://mytestingsite.atwebpages.com/

is the code correct or it might be the free server that i'm using??

hope some could really help me on this one!

thanks in advanced!!

As3 Contact Form Issue, Php Or A Cgi-bin/*.pl ?
Hi every one... Thank you all for a very nice forum. A big thumbs up to every one
who takes the time to help someone in need!.

My problem is probably a beginners problem. I am struggling with
making a contact form for my site. Trying to learn AS3 I find it
difficult to convert Lees tutorial from as2 to as3.

My problems doesnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t stop there, I canÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t use a *.pl script because
the server doesnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t support it (windows). I have been trying to get the .php
version to work. But I keep messing it up.
Could someone please either point me to a good tutorial
for mail forms with as3 or look at my code and tell me what
I am doing wrong. My site is built with frames that I navigate between.
The mail form is located in a part called contact and in a movie clip called
contact_mc.

PHP
Code:

<?PHP
$theName = $_POST['theName'];
$theEmail = $_POST['theEmail'];
$theMessage = $_POST['theMessage'];

$to = "martinsgolf@telia.com";
$subject = "Flash contact form";
$message = "Name: " . $theName;
$message .= "
Email: " . $theEmail;
$message .= "

Message: " . $theMessage;
$headers .= "From: $theEmail";
$headers .= "
Reply-To: $theEmail";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

?>

Flash- i get this error twice = "type was not found or was no a compile-time constant: LoadVars"
and "call to a possibly undefined method Load Vars"

Code:

stop();

var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

sender.onRelease = function() {
senderLoad.theName = theName.text;
senderLoad.theEmail = theEmail.text;
senderLoad.theMessage = theMessage.text;
senderLoad.sendAndLoad("http://www.martingunnarsson.se/flashtest/send.php",receiveLoad, "POST");

}

This is my second post in as many days, I hope
you guys donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t get tired of a beginner like me.

Any help would be appriciated .. Maritn

AS2 External Contact Form Issue {HELP}
hi guys,
I have a problem that involves an external swf and a contact form, Ive searched goole and couldnt find a solution, so here goes.
Basically the contact form works fine on its own - send the data etc. However when the form is loaded into an external swf none of the form works. It loads in fine, can see everything apart from the label fields which name the fields: name, email, company etc. I havent got a clue what to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated and will as always bring serious kudos.

Flash Contact Form/PERL Communication Issue
Hey all,

I have picked up working on a site from a previous designer that I would like some insight into an error that I'm running into. There is a contact form that was created in the .swf file that has four text fields and a whole slew of check boxes that need to get emailed to a mailbox upon completion of the form. Here is the code for the 'Submit' button:

Code:
on (release) {
this.hearAr = new Array();
if(referral1.getState())
this.hearAr.push("individual");
if(referral2.getState())
this.hearAr.push("couple");
if(referral3.getState())
this.hearAr.push("family");
if(referral4.getState())
this.hearAr.push("corporation");
if(referral5.getState())
this.hearAr.push("advisor yes");
if(referral6.getState())
this.hearAr.push("advisor no");
if(referral7.getState())
this.hearAr.push("taxable");
if(referral8.getState())
this.hearAr.push("tax free");
if(referral9.getState())
this.hearAr.push("both assets");
if(referral10.getState())
this.hearAr.push("insured");
if(referral11.getState())
this.hearAr.push("underinsured");
if(referral12.getState())
this.hearAr.push("not sure insured");
if(referral13.getState())
this.hearAr.push("accountant");
if(referral14.getState())
this.hearAr.push("consultants");
if(referral15.getState())
this.hearAr.push("trust and estate attorney");
if(referral16.getState())
this.hearAr.push("other attorney");
if(referral17.getState())
this.hearAr.push("insurance planner");
if(referral18.getState())
this.hearAr.push("other financial advisor");
if(hearAr.length > 0)
this.hear = hearAr.join(", ");
//this.loadVariables("http://www.website.com/cgi-bin/sendmail.cgi", "POST");
this.to = "contact@website.com";
delete hearAr;
delete areasOfInterestAr;
delete message;
delete startY;
this.loadVariables("http://www.website.com/cgi-bin/sendmail.cgi", "POST");
this._parent.play();
}
This should send the data to the sendmail.cgi script that is running in the cgi-bin folder on the server, which should parse the information and send it on to the specified email address, no? I can provide the sendmail script if anyone needs to take a look at it. Just wanted to see if I'm missing somethine blatantly obvious. Thanks for your help.

Contact Form
hello anyone can tell me how to do a full contact form in FLASH.. that send the info to my email

Contact Form
ALright, I'm having some trouble getting my contact form to work. I found an example of one that works with php.. so I upload this and get it working on my site... But now, I want to implement my own version of a contact form into my flash movie.. heres the code I used to do that:

on (release) {
if (name eq "" or name eq "enter.name"){
name="enter.name";
}
if (email eq "" or email eq "enter.email") {
email = "enter.email";

}

if (subject eq "" or subject eq "enter.subject"){
subject = "enter.subject";

}
if (message eq "" or message eq "enter.comment"){
message = "enter.comment";

}else{

loadVariablesNum ("form.php", 0, "POST");
_root.contact.gotoAndStop (70);
}
}

I got the load var. part from the form example that works and I used the exact name for the names of the input boxes... all the other if staments check to see if all the text boxes are filled in with something other than a default text.. Then , once all that passes it should load the variables to the php file and the php file will send me an e-mail based on that information.. I know its not the php file becuase I can get that to work on the real example... I just dont understand whats happening in my movie..

any ideas??

thanks,

Robert

Contact Form With PHP
Hi...
I am trying to make a contact form in Flash, using a PHP script. I followed the tutorial on this site, but it is not working right. It is not sending the e-mail. Everything else works, such as the e-mail address validation, etc. There is a dynamic text field at the bottom of the .fla that states when the e-mail has been sent. I have attached the .fla file. The PHP script is copied below. If anyone can help with this, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Kristine

Contact Form. Help Me
Hey guys, I have recently made a flash contact form as part of my website and have got it up and working until the point where I need the variables passed to a PHP file.

To start with, Is there any way to turn the info the user has input into an email which is then sent to me all in Flash? If so this solves my PHP problem, but could you tell me how to do it?

If that is not possible Then I need to know how to simply send a number of variables to a PHP script. Bear in mind that I want the PHP script to act unseen (Ie. I don't want a window to pop-up). Please could you tell me how to do this?

Here is my file as it stands.

Thanks in advance guys.

Alright I have a form sent using PHP that I am working on...

The contact form is loaded into an empty movie clip called "mtClipContent"

Now this contact form as three input text boxes, with variable names "FirstName" , "Email" , and "ToComments"

Anywho, thats sort of irrelevant, my problem is that the text wont be display complete after it sends, it just stays at Sending...

the script in the php is

Print "_root.mtClipContent.EmailStatus.status_text=Compl ete, thank you.";

i think it has something to do with the path...

Ok I know it's a common problem, but how do I use these

Contact Form
hey guys...i am making a contact form. It's super basic...name, email, comment, and a submit button. When the user clicks submit, it sends the info to a PHP script, which in return sends a receipt to tell Flash to play the thank you message. Ok, that works...but only when i test the project from the flash program. Online, the form does not submit (IOW: user clicks it, but nothing happens). Worse is that the information is also not sending. Why would this only work from the flash program, but not from the server online?
code:
function createListener() {
var oListener = new Object();
oListener.click = function(oEvent) {
lvEmail.toAddress = "me@website.com";
lvEmail.fromAddress = mcForm.txEmail.text;
lvEmail.subject = "visitor message";
lvEmail.message = mcForm.txComment.text;
lvEmail.sendAndLoad("http://www.website.com/sentmail.php", lvReceiver, "POST");
};
mcForm.mcSend.addEventListener("click", oListener);
}
createLoadVars();
var lvEmail=new LoadVars();
var lvReceiver=new LoadVars();
lvReceiver.onLoad=function(){
if(this.success==1){
hideForm();

}
}

Help With Contact Form....
I have a contact form .fla that when I publish out a .swf and test it from my desktop it works fine. By that I mean that I receive the e-mail. When I place it inside of the HTML page and again test from my desktop it still works. But then when I upload to my site it no longer works - I do not receive the e-mail. If I put a straight HTML contact form up there it works. Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?

Thanks much,

P.S. I've been at this for months so help would be SoooOOO appreciated.

MX/php Contact Form
Hi.

I'm trying to make a contact form work that I downloaded here:
http://flashkit.com/movies/Interface...9916/index.php

I changed the PHP to my own information, and I'm on a server with PHP installed, I just can't seem to get it to work. It always sticks at the "waiting for confirmation" screen. I even uploaded it as-is (excepting the PHP changes) and
it does the same thing.

I wrote a quick script that uses mail() and tested it to make sure there's nothing funny going on with sendmail -- there isn't. It works fine.

I know flash decently, and I'm good with PHP, but I do not know how these two interact. Help?

Contact Us Form?
Im designing a Flash Contact Us Form which has - Name, Email Id & Message -fill this and send (should be mailed to an email id). Validations - all fields are mandatory. If some field is left blank and submit button clicked, it should say the corresponding field is empty !?!

Please post a tutor or a sample action script for this.

Also i would like to know if we should use any mail component for the mail to be sent (like cdonts mail component in asp)

Thanks in advance.

I'm using a standard contact/php form. When the user has filled in the details the 'send' button goes to frame 2, with text saying the email has been sent, etc. Is there any way that, when the 'back' button is pressed to go back to the first frame, I can clear the input textboxes of the text?

Could someone help me to do this? my site loads the external "Contact Page" and on that page there is a movieclip and this is where my form is in. Could this be why the tutorials weren't working, cause I didnt actually have the form on the main timeline but in a movieclip? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Hiya,

I have a template which someone setup for me. The form doesnt work as there isnt a script with it. I sent an email to the company it was brought from and said i could buy one.
This sounded like they were trying it on to me. Is the only way to make it work by actually buying a script from them?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me?!?!?

Hello people,

Ok, I am trying to implement a contact form in a website but when I recieve the message the e-mail comes all blank, except for the title of the field.

It looks like this:

******
Message from the Gables Square website:

Subject:

Name:

Phone:

E-mail:

Comments:
******

I have checked the fields' names to match the PHP file and they are correct.

What do you think is the problem then? You can checkout the development website in this link: http://www.gablessquare.com/dev/

Thanks a lot guys,

I have a template from template monster - how do I get the contact form to work?

Contact Form...
I made a contact form following a tutorial. When I fill in the form to test it, the email sends, but all the information is blank. Can't find what I've did wrong. I'm using Flash MX 2004.

Contact Form
hi everyone,

I have a contact form that has text fields, text areas and combo boxes as the components used on it. This form works with a php file that sends the info over the internet.

in the flash file, all components were put in a movie clip which holds them.

Text fields are of type input as they ought to be. Instead of using instance name, variable names were used to get the component values. This works well for text fields because they have variable names, how can I include text areas and combo boxes so that I can get the values.

note: the php code works so I didnt include it to the attachment. All values display in the mail but not those in combo boxes and text areas.

thanks for reading.

[F8] Contact Form
Hi...

I am trying to implement a flash contact form in my site, but I would like to have a 'fluid form'...i know this isn´t the best words to explain what I am trying to say, but let me explain: A form you input your name, telephone and any other fields and after when you hit submit the page did not open a asp page to process the data, instead of the flash itself, in the main page send the data and after the flash display: 'mensage sent'...

I am trying to find some example over the internet with this and got stucked... can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advanced for any, any info.
