Flash :: Help With Making A Email Newsletter Sucription From....

EMail/Newsletter Box

Newsletter Email Signup Form
Hi, I am creating a form input for people to submit their emails to get a newsletter. The site is Fun Hit Wonders but I can't get the actual email to go through straight to the server. It's either that I just have a button that goes into the welcome page, or what I would prefer is to have the user to enter the email and it to say thanks for subscribing... Here is the code I used:

on (release) {
//1st hidden field
//this is your unique id
m = "98236230XXXX";
//2nd hidden field
p = "oi";
//this is the form action and method

Problem With Validation: Newsletter Subscription Email Field...
Hi,

Ususally when I put in a regular contact form in Flash (you know, name, email and message), I use Senocular's tutorial and have the validation on Name as req. field and syntax of Email field and it always works great.

Now I have this form consisting of just an Email field and a Submit button. The filled-in address is supposed to be added to an external database from a paid newsletter service. Their requirements are: - a specific var. name for the field and the action url where the submitted info is processed to their clients database so to speak, so I have to open that page in order for the input to be processed (in a new window).

When I put this on the submit button:

Code:
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.ymlp.com/subscribe.php?clientsname", "_blank", "POST");
gotoAndStop("thanks");
}
it works. But no validation on the filled-in address, so the external page gives an error with anything that's not an email address.
(in url: real client's accountname substituted here for 'clientsname')

So I put this on the button:

Code:
on (release) {
formcheck ();
}
And this in an actionframe a layer above (email is the instance name of the field, and its var name is YMLP0):

Code:
action = "send";

function validate (email) {
if (email.length>=7) {
if (email.indexOf("@")>0) {
if ((email.indexOf("@")+2)<email.lastIndexOf(".")) {
if (email.lastIndexOf(".")<(email.length-2)) {
return (true);
}
}
}
}
return (false);
}

function formcheck () {
if ((((email == null)) || (email.length<1)) || (email == "No valid email address")) {
email = "No valid email address";
action = "";
}
if (!validate (email)) {
email = "No valid email address";
action = "";
}
if ((validate (email)) && (email != "ERROR!")) {
action = "send";
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.ymlp.com/subscribe.php?clientsname", "_blank", "POST");
gotoAndStop("thanks");
}
}
But it doesn't do anything.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm really no scripter, just a designer I'm afraid .

Many thanks.

::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.

Email Is Making Me Go Bald ...
Right, I've been trying to get this to work for a few days now. Catbert303 gave me a hand with this and the functions he guided me through work a treat (so big thanks to him) problem I`m having now is when I combine it with the email.php script it just doesnt appear to want to work, the form itself works, but none of the variables are sent to my server. Could someone give me a hand?

Heres a link to the php email im using :

http://www.adeptdesigns.co.uk/email.txt

and heres ma fla file.

If anyone can help that would be great cos I really want this to work, but if I cant then i`ll just make do with not validating anything and just filter out the spammers.

Thanks.

Making An Email Window Pop Up
Hey folks,

You know how in HTML, if you use "mailto:email@stuff.com", it typically pops up Outlook for you? What is the equivalent ActionScript code to accomplish this?

I tried using GetURL function, but I'm sure I must be doing it wrong.

Interested in knowing. Thanks.

Help With Making Link To Email In Flash
This is going to sound pretty dumb...but I'm brand new to Flash. Today is my first day as a "flash designer" (far from it)! I'm not a big Flash fan...BUT...I want to be able to offer it to clients....I don't see myself designing 100% flash sites...but incorporating some aspects of Flash is a good idea. I've managed to do what I've wanted to with my little splash page created in flash...my only dilemma is I cannot make my email button work. I simply typed in email, but I'm not sure how to set it up so when you click on it it will bring up outlook.

Example: when someone clicks the email text, it should bring up their email to send an email to me...in HTML it's pretty simple: mailto:joesomebody@example.com

If someone can tell me how I can do this in Flash, I'd appreciate it.

Rookies eh!

Problems Making A Simple Email Form In Flash
Ok hi dudes!!
ok ive worked with flash for quite awhile but have never done a simple email for where you can send email..
ive downloaded afew open source files from net but cant get anything to work..i know nothing about php or perl or cgi bin stuff..

all i would want is a form where the viewer if he or she wants to send email it would ask:

NAME

email address

and then you could leave message

SEND button RESET Button

Anyhow im abit confused why all this Perl, PHP stuff has to be involved,,is it not possible just to have this info sent..like an email..just using Outlook and flash..

Basically i have tried to test afew templates out by just adding my own email address as the Recipient in the actionscript and then testing movie in flash and filling out one of these email forms and trying to send email to myself to see if it works..but it does'nt...

Once of the open source files i have says this in the instruction attached mail with the FLA:

Flash to Email example using modified version of Matt's FormMail.pl script.

1. Copy the flashformmail.pl to your server cgi-bin folder, chmoded to 775 or 755

2. Edit the variables in the FLA file.

3. Publish the movie and enjoy

Feel free to use it whenever you need to.
YOu can just copy/paste the entire movie into your own flash movie, you can edit
its apearance and behaviour as you wish to.

It is just a Flash - XML - Perl example for creating FlashToEmail form on your site.

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

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.....

[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.
