Help With Email Form - Input Text Boxes Not Allowing Input
i placed an email form into a movie clip in this site...and the input text boxes are no longer allowing me to type into them.

the email form (which i got from flashkit), as it's own file, works fine, so i know it's possible...but for some reason when i take the movie clip from one file and drag it into the one i'm working on...it loses that input text funcionality. All the actionscript is the same...everything is identical...i don't get it.

i even tried to place it on top of a movie clip within the main content clip thinking maybe because it was an mc within an mc within an mc that had something to do with it...but not the case.

any help you can provide is appreciated.
(attached file was saved as MX..orig is in MX 2004 Pro)

thanks.

oh, also....how would i load movie clips to different layers?...if i understand some things i've read here, that will help me speed up the site overall...as it is VERY slow in browser. but...maybe i'm wrong.

Email Form In Flash Using PHP - Input Fields Won't Allow Input?
I've used this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm

to create an email form. When I test in Flash, the input fields work fine. However when I publish it to the server I'm using, it won't allow the fields to be clicked on! You can see it here...www.tagdenim.com

(click on the Email List button at the bottom right.)

Any one else have this problem? I'm pretty sure I got all the code right, and I know for a fact that my server supports PHP. I'm using godaddy's server, btw. Maybe I have to turn the PHP on or something??? not sure. I'm a newbie to using PHP and Flash together. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Form With One Input
I need to make a flash form with one input. The input is for a promotional code. The input needs to be able to have its code input in it then search a DB to see if the code has been used or not. If so it goes to a sorry page, if not it goes to a thank you page. It also needs to write to a file telling me what codes have been used. I have been searching everywhere for help on this and cant find anything.

Input Form Problem
Hi there, I have an input form I just made for people to email me their email address and any feedback comments.

Here is my code for the submit button:

on (release) {
subject = "email post";
recipient = "kjohnn@hotmail.com";
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.crossfire.f2s.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl", 0, "GET");
gotoAndPlay ("thankyou");
}

My server does support cgi and I have a formmail.pl located there from someone who was a webmaster before me, but I am not familiar with how it works... I think it's all set up fine?

But for some reason this isn't working. I get the thank you page but I have checked my mail and none of my tests have gone through to my address.

can anyone help?

Katie

If/Then Using Variable From Form Input
Is there a way to set up something to come out:

If MyVariable is equal to YES
Set Variable Server to Yes.com

In other words, I want the user to input a name into a variable input text field, and use that variable input to specify a different variable, so the second variable is always set by the input of the first. It would be easier if they could just type in the server name but they don't know it, they only know name. I am trying to emulate a database function because I won't have a database available, and with generator I dont know how to do it.

Any ideas how to accomplish my goal would be great.
Thanks!

Data Input Form
Hi. I want to create a form on my flash page where the user inputs data into several input txt boxes ands when the submit button is pressed the data from each txt box is written to a file. I then want to read this file back into a dynamic txt box in a certain way...eg name, age etc

I've tried using the guestbook.php tutorial to do this but i havnt had any luck yet, this is what my page looks like http://207.44.132.4/higain.com/

and the button is "Place Ad"

currently all that happens when you press the submit button is that it writes a load of crap to the classified.txt file.

Any suggestions?

Input Form Mailfunctions
I've got the following code on an input text field and button. It checks through a php regex if a emailadres is valid. And indeed it works. It traces nicely "valid" and failed", but it ignores the gotoandstop("valid") and gotoandstop ("failed"). It keeps going to the gotoandstop("valid") frame, even if the email result traces "failed"? What wrong?

Code:
stop();
knopje.onRelease = function() {
mySendVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
mySendVars.email = invoer.text;
mySendVars.sendAndLoad("http://www.test_email.nl/testmail.php", myLoadVars);
myLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
if (myLoadVars.ontvangen) {
trace(myLoadVars.ontvangen);
gotoAndStop("valid");
} else {
trace(myLoadVars.ontvangen);
gotoAndStop("failed");
}
} else {
gotoAndStop(3);
}
};
};

[CS3] Flash Input Form
Hey I was hoping someone could explain to me how php interacts with flash when I am trying to get an input form to work? Do I need php to get my form to work and if yes, why do I need it? I have a brinkster account, do I need to write the php code myself? If someone could help me that would be great. Also if there is a way where I can do all the form work in actionscript without worrying about writing php that would be even better.

Form / Input Array?

this would allow me to get all of the input names (ultimately for a custom level of pre submission form validation)

Thanks for any help!!

Form Input Validation
I made a contact form in Flash 8 Pro and I'm trying to validate the input before sending. All i want to do is verify that the user has entered something in each field. I'm using an if/else, but I can't get it to work properly. It seems that no matter what condition i use, it always returns the same value whether the fields are completed or not.

I made three fields called inputName, inputEmail, and inputComments. Here is the AS:

submitBtn.onRelease = function() {
if (inputName.length && inputEmail.length && inputComments.length) {
feedbackText.text = "Sending";
_parent.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
feedbackText.text = "Please fill out all fields.";
}
}

I also tried this for the condition:
if (inputName.length > 0 && inputEmail.length > 0 && inputComments.length > 0)

I've also tried to reverse it so it will check it the fields are NOT filled in, like this:
if (inputName.text = "" || inputEmail.text = "" || inputComments.text = "")

and like this:
if (!inputName.length || !inputEmail.length || !inputComments.length)

Nothing is working. Can anybody tell me the correct way to validate text input?

Form Input Text
hello.

working with input text in flash. i'm declaring what should be in the input box when the movie loads (name, email, friend's email) so that the user knows where to enter what.

my problem is that you have to highlight the the text in order to type something new in. is there a way in flash to make the text automatically dissapear when you click in there.

i imagine it's an onEnterFrame, onMouseMove, updateAfterEvent sort of thing but I'm not sure of the syntax.

any ideas?

thanks,

Very Stubborn Input Form, Cgi/php Not Working
Okay, I know there have been a million posts like this, and YES I have read MANY of them, and tried many things. I've been at this for about 2 weeks straight now, so any help is GREATLY appreciated....

I am on the f2s server, free website server that supports php and cgi scripts located in any directory of the site. I want to make a very simple input form that will email the results to me. I have tried several different scripts, and nothing happens. I dont get any email from these.

I don't know what is going wrong because I don't have perl (I think that's what you need to see the errors?)

According to f2s, I shouldn't have to set permissions manually...

And my scripting is as follows:

on (release) {
subject = "email post";
recipient = "kjohnn@hotmail.com";
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.crossfire.f2s.com/formmail.pl", 0, "GET");
gotoAndPlay ("thankyou");
}

I have tried Post as well...

any ideas???

I created form and put mask over it. When I test the form I can't see the text that I enter in the input fields.

The problem is I really need the mask because the form has to scroll within a certain area.

TabIndex And Input Field In A Form
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help with this. I've made a form that includes 12 input text fields (3 fields across, 4 rows down) that I'm able to type in when I do the Test Movie feature, but when I "tab" to get to the next field, it skips around in a weird order. I figure it has something to do with TabIndex, but I'm unclear where this goes in the .fla file.

When I click on one of the input fields (in the .fla file) it tells me that "current selections cannot have actions applied to them."

What am I overlooking? I apologize if this question has been asked before. I searched the forums but didn't exactly find the problem I'm having.

I'm somewhat new at the ActionScripting so I'm hoping I post this in the correct forum.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Input Variables From Form Mail Straight Into An FLA?
(FlashMX) I have a situation that I'm wondering if it's possible to automate. If variables are sent to me from a server in a Form Mail script (cgi, or perl), how can I automatically input those variables into a FLA at authoring time - not an swf at runtime? I don't want to use a text file to load from, because the end result will be a CD rom that I only wish to include the EXE projector file. Retyping or copy/paste would be fine for a couple of variables, but to pass 50+ variables for each project I'm searching for an automated solution. Any suggestions?

Strange Form Text Input Behavior
I have a flash mx form with input and checkboxes. I am able to pass all this variables to the database with formData.sendAndLoad through an asp page with no problem, except for the last text input box. the only difference from the other input boxes is the sequence. Its the last input box on the form and it follows my checkbox and radio buttons.

I have tried everything to get the input box to pass the data to the database via the asp page. all with no luck. my asp page returns a error. once i remove the last input box it works.

Now I don't know if this is an flash behavior or a ASP error. But all the other input boxes work. Does any body have an idea why this behavior happens? Can somebody point me in a direction to solve this. It has become obsessive to figure this out and I am beginning to feel the effects, yet I need to solve this.

I hope I made some sense.

I can attach my fla and asp files if someone is willing to take a look.
