Flash :: Email Attachments

Creating Files With Attachments
Heres what I am trying/want to do.

Have a sort of form in flash which based on it's contents produces an HTML file(which I believe can only be done by using php/cgi etc...). When the user clicks the 'submit' button the file is created in a directory based on the documents name, and in the directory is obviously the document itself.
Heres the twist, on the 'form' I also want an 'attachment' button so that if the document has any hyperlinks to files which would sit in the same directory as the document the 'attachments' button would copy/create these files at the same time as the document.

Can this be done in flash or does anyone have an example.
Also, I could do with some help on creating the HTML file also.

Many Thanks in Advance.

Is It Possible To Join NewClip Attachments
i'm making a catch game such as can be found at http://www.mathplayground.com/multiples.html
the code i'm using right now has drop1 falling as i want it to, and drop2 does appear, but it will not repeat, as the coding suggests it should. is there a way to put the newClip in one section, or link it together, so that both drop1 and drop2 will continue to fall, at the same interval.
here is the coding i'm using

Code:
StageWidth = 550;
StageHeight = 400;
var num:Number;
function moveStuff() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= this.speed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += this.speed;
}
if (this._x>StageWidth+(this._width/2)) {
this._x = 0-(this._width/2);
}
if (this._x<0-(this._width/2)) {
this._x = StageWidth+(this._width/2);
}
if (this._y>StageHeight+(this._height/2)) {
this._y = 0-(this._height/2);
}
if (this._y<0-(this._height/2)) {
this._y = StageHeight+(this._height/2);
}
}
girl_mc.speed = 13;
girl_mc.onEnterFrame = moveStuff;
watchKeyBoard = new Object();
watchKeyBoard.onKeyDown = function() {
trace("a key is pressed. the key that is pressed is "+Key.getAscii());
};
Key.addListener(watchKeyBoard);
/*found at http://www.swinburne.edu.au/design/tutorials/P-flash/T-Actionscripting-for-games/ID-41/#five*/

depth = 0;
function makeNewClip() {
clearInterval(ranID)
ranID=setInterval(makeNewClip, ran)
newClip = _root.attachMovie('drop1', 'drop1'+depth, depth++);
newClip._x = Math.random()*490;
newClip._y = -40;
newClip.speed = 3;
newClip.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += this.speed;

};

}
makeNewClip();
setInterval(makeNewClip,5000);

depth = 0;
clearInterval(ranID)
ranID=setInterval(makeNewClip, ran)
newClip = _root.attachMovie('drop2', 'drop2'+depth, depth++);
newClip._x = Math.random()*490;
newClip._y = -40;
newClip.speed = 3;
newClip.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += this.speed;

};
i need to get drop2 to repeat, and after that i will be adding in a drop3, drop4, drop5, drop6, drop7 etc so that there is a whole lot falling down from the top of the screen.
i DID have it repeating at some stage, but i can't for the life of me get it back to working again.........
any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
this is a project due day after tomorrow.
thanks =S

Form W/file Attachments
yes i have this game i created with some help from a friend.

now i want users to be able to purchase the game for themselves to make a personslized game of there very own.

so i am using the paypal component for the purchase
but i also want to have an upload file attachment for them to upload the zip file containing their images to be used in the game. to my email address rojere3@yahoo.com

the paypal an file attachement will most likely be separate unless someone knows how to put them together.

that allows the user to add the zip file an then when they click on the paypal component that both at the same time will send. but i doubt that.

so i am willing to make 2 separate sections.
one to do the paypal component. an then all i need is just the file attachement to be sent to my email. rojere3@yahoo.com

the form would consit of name and address an then have the file attachment that way i can confirm it with any orders with the same info. manually.

but as i browse around i see alot of questions are about the email form an that is done through php.

i need a form to go to directly to my email with there file attached.
this is done through php i would assume?

if anyone knows how i can implement that i surely could use the help!!!

i can find tutorials showing me how to create a form but only with the trace command to redisplay the users input.
thats it.

so if anyone knows of any components out there that deals directly with just that a form that directly goes to the sysop with file attachment that would great but i doubt that there is a component that does that.

so will just have to do straight up code i am presuming?

Attachments In A Flash Mail Form?
HI,
i have been searching for quite a while for information about mail forms in flash, but couldn't find anything about attachments. Does anybody know whether and how actionscript or javascript from flash can open a browse dialog to get the attachment path and send the file to the server-script.
it would be really a pleasure to find out at least a little hint.

[F8] Flash 8 - Email Form: How To Get Users Specified Email In From Portion Of Email
Hey guys,

I want to add a newsletter to my new website that people can add their email addresses to. First off, I would like to have a field that the user can type his email address in, and have that field check if the email is valid (ie make sure that there is an @something.something).

Next, I would like it to send an email to my email address, with their email address in the from portion of the email (basically as if they have emailed me directly from their email). This way, it will be very easy for me to add them to my mailing list.

Thanks a ton for any help... Ive been searching for a while on how to do this, but couldn't find a way to put the users email in the from portion of the email.

Email Forms That Send Email To Other Email Addresses
hello, well, I'm not sure who to ask about this problem. The thing is I really want to make an email form that can send email to other people. I have seen email feedback forms here that send email to my address but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me make one that sends email to other addresses. I have made an email feedback form already and its at http://www.jeviwebs.com/beatles/mail.swf if you want to view it. If any of you know of any tips, please email me or respond to my post here thanks! BTW, that feedback form was based on matthew summers tutorials here

it is in the send button where I have the problem

here is the action script for the action layer:

recipient = "";
targetpage = "http://www.jeviwebs.com/beatles/ecard.htm";
stop();

this works ok since you will specify the email address of the person to send email to (thus the blank recipient variable) but here is the main problem...the actionscript for the send button....since I want to send emails to other people, I can't use my cgi bin for that.

on (release) {
getURL("http://myaddress.com/cgi-sys/mailform.cgi", "lower", "POST");
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I know that there is a way through this...I can change and do actionscript if someone can help me out...thanks you guys

How would I send that one string to an email? Thanks ahead of time

HTML Formatted Email W/ Flash: Email Link Help
is there a way to put a mailto into a Flash that's embedded in an email without a browser window popping up when the user clicks on it.

The reply email works fine, but a browser window will open with the mailto in the URL and "Action Canceled" in the window. Not too pro looking.

Also, I found the Flash only plays in some email clients, when user views the email. I had to put a 'play' button on the first frame before the loader in case it doesn't play. I tried putting a "gotoAndPlay" but that didn't work either, took the loader out, even put the animation on the main timeline. Funky.

Told the client it's a bad idea, unpredictable, but they never listen to people that know what's up...

[MX04] Making An Email Button Go To Email Client
Good Day,

I have made a button on my website and would like it to do the following:

When pressed it would open the users email client and put my email address in the "TO" box so they can send an email to me.

Sounds simple but I can't work out how to make this happen.
Is there a better way to do this?

Can somebody help me with this?

Email Link On Swf Doesn't Work In Embeded Email, Why?
I am working on a swf file (sort of an ad) for email distribution purpose, the swf has an email link on it for potential clients to reply to us.

I upload the swf on our server, embed the swf into an email, and send the email off to do a test, the animation is playing fine, but there is a problem, when i click on the email link, I receive the following error message:

"Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

And then the Outlook is closed down.

But this problem only happens on NT system, as while i click the same link from my XP, it instantly open up a new reply message fine, anyone has come across this problem and knows how to get around with it, could you help?

Many many thanks

Flash PHP Email , Hide Formatting In End-user Email?
Hello and thanks for taking the time,

I built a Flash email sender, its very simple, it just sends all the variables in the fields, no cross checks or nothing.

Problem: here's what the end-user email looks like:

Subject: Message from <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Smiles</TEXTFORMAT>

Name : <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Smiles</TEXTFORMAT>

Email:

Comments: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Massage</TEXTFORMAT>

Here's my PHP code:

<?

$destination="jjmorga@gmail.com";
$name=$_POST['name'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$mes=$_POST['message'];
$subject="Message from $name" ;
$mes="Name : $name

Email: $email

Comments: $mes
";
mail($destination,$subject,$mes); ?>

To anyone that helps me tackle this pickle I bid you a million thanks

Email Form Sends Out Email 3 Times?
I am using the Web Service Connector to take text input on a form and email it from the website to the intended party. However, it sends the email out three times and I can't find where the error is. When I test the movie I get the following error: "Binding between <unknown>.. and <unknown>.params.emailFrom: The endpoint of the binding does not exist." It shows this error twice. So I am guessing the problem lies with these errors, which would give me three emails total.

Any ideas? I can't find any other instances of the WSC on the site?

Thanks,
Jim

Email Autoresponder That Includes Recipient's Name In Email
Hi--

I am trying to set up an email autoresponder in Flash MX that includes the recipient's name in the salutation of the email.

For example, if Bob Barker is at my site, I want to give him two boxes to fill in: one for his name (Bob) and the second for his email address. When he clicks the "ok" button, an autoresponder will send him an email that begins with, "Hi, Bob--etc." THEN, once he receives the email, if he answers it, I'd like ANOTHER autoresponse addressed to "Hi, Bob," but this time with a different message.

This must be pretty easy to do, but I have NO idea how. Can anyone direct me to a source on this? Or someone with the know-how?

Many, many thanks!

Flash Email Form -- No Content In Email
I realize that a similar question has been posted many times, but since I've been searching for an answer that works specifically for me for 2 long days, I feel I need to post.

I've created a guestbook-type form in Flash and a perl script to send the contents of that form to my own email address. Things seem to be working fine except that the email I get is blank. I don't know much about scripting outside of Flash, so I'd appreciate some help. I think my perl script is the problem, but I'm copying both scripts below.

Email Form Not Sending Email... Please Help
Hi all,

I have a flash-based mailer form that was working at one point, but now it won't send email to the specified account for some reason. The host says that it needs to be sent FROM a valid email address on their server, but I can't figure out where in the code I need to make that work...

Here's the code on my submit button:

Code:
on(release){
formValidation();
if(validForm == true){
form.loadVariables("../email.php", "POST");
}
}
Here's the code in my PHP file:

Code:
<?php
$sendTo = "mail@kavehmedia.com";
$subject = $_POST["subjectTxt"];

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["nameTxt"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["emailAddressTxt"] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["emailAddressTxt"];
$message = $_POST["messageTxt"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
What am I doing wrong? Since it was working when I first made it, I assume the host changed something on their end, but they're being very unhelpful...

Email Variables Through Email
I have what might seem like a simple question. However, I can't find the answer. I created a multiple choice test with 5 questions. Each answer is stored as a variable. q1, q2, q3, q4, q5. On the last screen I created a name text field for them to type their name. Now I want to create a submit button that will email me the value of all of the variables separately.

I can't figure out how to format the getURL message to email each variable to me. Here is what I've tried and I get "undefined" in my email body:

on (click) {
getURL("mailto:dsmith@help.com?subject=AEIOUsales" + "&body=" +employee +q1+q2+q3);
}

Please help me with my simple question...Show me an example of how this script should be formatted. Thanks in advance!
