Dynamically Add Email Address To Button Script
Hi all,

If I load an email address into a dynamic textbox, is it possible to have that email address dynamically inserted into a mailto: statement?

So, if I have me@thisaddress.com as the email, the button script is dynamically configured to include this button script:

code:
on (release, releaseOutside) {
getURL("mailto:me@thisaddress.com?subject=For more information");
}

Thanks for any ideas, hints, tips on how to do this.

SWF File Attached To Email Won't Load Xml
Hey all,

Any ideas on this - I've attached an swf file, that calls on an XML file from my website, to an email to send out to clients. Unfortunately the SWF when run from inside the message box (as an attachment) doesn't seem to be able to access the address of the xml file, even though the internet is connected and the URL is correct.

this is a bit of a big spanner in the works. I've tried changing the publish settings to both "use network only" and "use local files only" but that doesn't solve the problem unfortunately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[F8] Linking Email Address To Another
Okay, so I know how to make a button that opens up a user's email application with the email address already loaded and ready to send.

What I want to do, is take that email address (the email address I made up for the site I'm working on, lets say "email@working.com") and have it automatically forward to a different email address/account that the user would be unaware of.

This is possible right?

URLRequest With Email Address
I'm assembling a form that is going to be processed by someone else. They told me to change the "action" field of the form (which I'm sending via URLRequestMethod.Post) to an email address instead of the script file they were using. They said they could take the raw POST data and process it as needed.

Assuming this is true, is the syntax just:
URLRequest("name@domain.com");
or do I need to put in a "mailto" or something else because it's an email address instead of a regular URL? Or use some other function?

Thanks,

Bob

Validate An Email Address
Hello

I am using this to validate email addresses and it does not seem to work:

} else if (!email_txt.length || email_txt.indexOf("@") == -1 || email_txt.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status_txt.text = "Invalid Email.";

I would, in any case, prefer to use the following server script for validation purposes:

<%
'Email
re.Pattern = "^w+@w+.w+"
If Not re.Test(email) Then
errorArray(1) = "red"
ErrorMsg = ErrorMsg & "<center>Please type in a valid email address</center>"
end if
%>

If I use this server script, how do I begin to show it in my movie, please? What Action Script do I use to 'pull it in' from the server and show it?

Many thanks

Email To Certiain Address
This is what I would like to do. I have a flash movie, which will be on the internet, and I have a textbox and a "submit" button. When you type some information into the textbox and hit 'submit' flash automatically emails you the information. I want to do this because: not all people have out look, so if I use the mailto: function it wouldn't work.
Is there any way possible for flash to achieve this?

Email Address Grabber
I'm looking for a cut-and-paste solution or a nice tutorial on how to set up a simple email-grabbing operation using an input text field and the Push Button component.

Maybe I'm a bonehead, but this has proven to be a slightly daunting challenge.

Would it be easier to do this simply with an input field and a regular old button instead of the component?

thanks!!

Verify Email Address - Help
Hi all,

Im trying to create a form in actiocsript that verifies correct user input before submitting. So far I have the form checking that NewEmail contains characters, an "@" symbol and a "." symbol.

However is there code that can check that the layout of the email is correct before submitting i.e. <"sometext"@"sometext"."sometext">

Also I need to insert a seperate name verifier to check that there are no numbers included in a text box.

This is my code so far:

_global.detailsCheck = function() {
if ( _root.NewEmail.length == 0 | _root.NewEmail.length == "" | _root.NewEmail eq "") {
// Alerts the user that their password is incorrect
_root.Guide2 = "Please Fill All Detail Fields";
// Stops the movie from going to the next frame
stop();
} else if (_root.NewEmail.indexOf("@") == -1) {
_root.Guide2 = "Please Give A Valid Email Address";
stop();
} else if (_root.NewEmail.indexOf(".") == -1) {
_root.Guide2 = "Please Give A Valid Email Address";
stop();
} else {
//submit details
gotoAndPlay ("ExitFrame");
}
}

Any help would be much appreciated...

Help Set Email Body Content With Mailto:
I'm using getURL(mailto to open up the user's default mail client and I know how to set the email subject and body, but what I dont' know how to do is make a link in the body content.

I want the body content to say:

"Click here to see my drawing"

with "Click here" as the link to the drawing.

All I've been able to do is set static text in the body content, how do I make a link?

Here's my code:

Code:

send_btn.onRelease = function () {
subject= escape(yourName+" has shared their artwork with you!")
linkText.html=true;
linkText.htmlText="<a href='http://www.newyorklife.com'>Click here</a>";
body = escape(linkText+" to see my drawing");
getURL("<A href="mailto:"+sendThis+"?subject="+subject+"&body="+body">mailto:"+sendThis+"?subject="+subject+"&body="+body);
}

I've tried various things with the body variable, but all I get is either plain text, "undefined", or nothing.

Please tell me how to do this!!! Thanks!

Using Actionscript To Validate Email Address'?
wotcha,

here's a toughy... how do i get a pretty picture into my flash movie....

ha ha

only joking,

SERIOUSLY

I need to validate that email addresses entered into my flash form are valid, i.e. they have a @ and a .

And also preferably that phone numbers are the right length.

I'm pretty damn good at actionscripting logic and the like, but i'm ****e at bloody maths/variables/arrays etc.

I've got an amazing javascript plugin thing for dreamweaver, but it would be a hell of alot better to do it in Flash.

Many thanks in advance...

Validating Email Address Format
Hi,

I'm writing a user registration form in MX
I can't get my email validation actionscript working.

I am checking the address to be at least 6 characters long and for '@' and at least one '.'

I would also like to make sure it contains just alpha numeric characters + '-' but the first part is enough of a challenge.

Has anyone already written a email validation script
or can you help debug mine.

Thanks for looking

Best Practice To Validate An Email Address?
Hi ppl,

I'm trying to define the requirments for email address validation. From what I have now I know I need to check to see if it contains the "@" and the presence of a dot. However, I'm sure there is some sort of function that does a more reliable validation. I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on the matter.

Cheers,

McMurphy
