Interactive / Dynamic Forms ?
Does anyone know where I can get help or preferably download an example of a flash interactive form? I need to produce a form which will allow people to select a product, its size, style colour etc.. and post all these details back to myself from the form. I have been looking in to CGI but I can find much help there either. Any Ideas?

Dynamic Forms
Greetings. Does anyone know how to make a form (with checkboxes and everything) and then allow only the items checked or entered to be displayed in another page as a verification with the user and then from there submitted?
Eg. you want to buy a couple of items,you tick the items you need, press continue/submit and then only items that has been ticked is displayed asking you if this is correct, from there you press yay or nay - Any comments will be appreciated.

[CS3] Dynamic Forms
I'm a beginner to actionscript 3 and I was wondering, how would one go about creating a dynamic form like creating radio buttons and combo boxes,etc
I've tried looking for tutorials but I can't find any information.
When I try running something like this:
var inputContainer:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
addChild(inputContainer);
var username_txt:TextField=new TextField();
username_txt.defaultTextFormat=text;
username_txt.type="dynamic";
username_txt.width=100;
username_txt.height=20;
username_txt.x=100;
username_txt.y=100;
username_txt.text="Enter Your Name:";
inputContainer.addChild(username_txt);
I get an error message access of undefined property text.

Dynamic Interactive Map
Hi there,
I am creating an interactive map application that uses Flash MX 2004 Pro, PHP (to get the data) and MySQL (to store the data). I have managed to get the data streaming into my SWF perfectly but I now have to face the real challenge...
This is an interactive town map so I will, for example, be displaying the locations of a number of Hotels in my town. These Hotel details will be coming from MySQL (via PHP) in the form of an array that includes an x and y co-ordinate. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can create an instance of the (generic) Hotel symbol at the correct particular co-ordinate for each Hotel on the map?
For example:
User clicks on "Hotels" in the Category Menu and all Hotel details are successfully received from PHP. Can all Hotels appear on the map located on their proper x and y co-ordinates?
Any help (even just some conceptual guidance) would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks a million.

Forms/dynamic Text Box
is it possible to do this when you render a dynamic text box in html?
I am just looking for the best possible way to have a input box for an email address that gets submitted by a form.
Dynamic Email Forms
Hello I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. It is regards to email forms. Here is my dilema. I have (X) number of company members that I want to have a contact form on the website for. The problem I am having is that from what I have been reading online, Flash and PHP working together to create an email form, it seems that when the submit button is pressed it always send to a specific email that is setup in the PHP file. But I want that to be able to change that depending on which company member you are looking to send a form to.
I would prefer to have a drop down menu with each member name(which would populate their email address to the PHP file) and a couple of fields (for Name and Email and Comment) and then have a form sent to their specific email address, but I don't know if this is possible.
Please help if you can.
Thank You.
Dynamic Grid From HTML Forms
greetings folks!
I am looking for a method to draw a dynamic grid based on the user input through HTML input boxes.
The user will enter the dimensions of a rectangle in height in feet, height in inches, width in feet, and width in inches. I would like to take that information and generate a Flash rectangle complete with a grid based on the entries in feet.
Sounds like a simple routine, yet I appear to be somewhat braindead in the acpects of Actionscripting...
Help deeply appreciated,

Dynamic Text Field And Forms. Please Help
Hi guys
I'm trying to submit a form using ASP using the code below. It's working fine by itself and I'm getting a result back from the asp page changing the Dynamic text field to "sent" when the mail is sent. However, when I try to load this movie as an external swf into a different movie, no result gets returned. Any ideas,(all files are in the same folder)
on (press) {
DynText = "Sending";
loadVariablesNum("sendmail.asp", 0, "POST");
}
Thanks guys,
This is driving me nuts!!!
Interactive With Flash From Dynamic Text
I want to import a text file, use html formatting on it, and add text links that will interact with different movieclips in the movie. Is this possible, and if so, could you point me in the right direction to get started?
Dynamic MovieClips Aren't Interactive?
having a problem with my movie clips. I'm trying to create a slideshow inside a larger program, so I want to load the images of the thumbnails and the larger images dynamically. The problem, is when I create a movie clip with actionscript, the on.Press seems to stop working. Can anyone help me with this?
I've tried some simple programs to see what the root of the problem is, and I have come up with this very straight forward example.
redbutton.jpg is a 50 X 50 px red square.
blueButton_mc is a movie clip in the libraray, with a blue box inside, which is placed on the stage.
//************
// The Code
//************
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("redButton_mc", 0);
redButton_mc.loadMovie("redbutton.jpg");
redButton_mc._x = 300;
redButton_mc._y = 200;
redButton_mc.onPress = function() {
getURL("http://www.google.ca", _blank);
};
blueButton_mc.onPress = function() {
getURL("http://www.hotmail.com", _blank);
};
*****************************************
So can anyone out there tell me why the blue button in the library works fine, but the red button has not interactivty?
Formmail Forms & Dynamic Text (I'm Puzzled?)
Hi experienced users!
Well, I'm creating a website for a friend which it's being made using Dynamic Texts (he wants different switchable languages).
Problems come when submitting the Form... I've used the same Form model (formmail) for other websites which did not use any Dynamic Text and they worked without problems.
The exact problem is that the submitted Form is not received (don't think it's even sent) to the specified email address. However, if the same website does not contain any dynamic text, then the form works properly and the query is received at my mailbox.
Has anybody experienced a similar situation?? I'm completely lost because I can't understand the reason for this behaviour, the only thing I know for sure is that the problem is variable related.
Any idea will be welcome and highly appreciated.
Cheers!

Dynamic Text In Flash Forms (within Coldfusion)
I'm using Flash forms within Coldfusion. Is it possible to have text within a form dynamically change based on a radio button selection after the Flash form has already compiled? Specifically, in the code below where the label is "How strongly do you feel that abortion #VA_S1_Q1# be an option available to Vanessa?" I want #VA_S1_Q1# to automatically display the label value of the selected radio button in the VA_S1_Q1 group (i.e., "should" or "should not").
Thanks,
Jason
Code:
<CFFORMGROUP TYPE="page" LABEL="Should" HEIGHT="225">
<CFFORMGROUP TYPE="PANEL" LABEL="Do you think that abortion should or should not be an option available to Vanessa?">
<CFINPUT type="radio" name="VA_S1_Q1" label="Should" value="1" onCLick="V#VignetteNumber#_S1_Nav.selectedIndex=V#VignetteNumber#_S1_Nav.selectedIndex+1">
<CFINPUT type="radio" name="VA_S1_Q1" label="Should Not" value="2" onCLick="V#VignetteNumber#_S1_Nav.selectedIndex=V#VignetteNumber#_S1_Nav.selectedIndex+1">

Loading Dynamic Text Breaks Formmail Forms [renamed]
This matter is something I haven't been able to solve for long and now I'm really desperate to find out an answer.
Here's a link to a very simple zip file (as example) containing the conflictive fla and other files, for those of you who may want to have a look at it.
TO SIMPLIFY THINGS:
It seems that whenever I use a couple of AS instructions to load some Dynamic text from a text file, Forms which are based in formmail, stop working (no matter if these forms are made of dynamic or static text). Why??
INTO MORE DETAILS:
In the attached fla example file here, I've simplified things very much by just leaving 2 Forms (one made with Dynamic text and another one without any dynamic text on it).
Very peculiar, if in frame 1 I call the variables from the text file:
ActionScript Code:
webcontent= "File.txt"loadVariablesNum (webcontent, 0);
the 2 Forms stop working properly: The static one doesn't even seem to submit data and the dynamic one, it seems data has been sent but data is never received.
As soon as I delete these 2 lines of AS, they work properly again (although of course, no words can be seen in the Form made with dynamic text).
Both submit buttons contain the following AS:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) { subject = "Customer Form from your Web"; recipient = "info@mydomain.com"; loadVariables ("http://www.mydomain/cgi-bin/formmail.pl", "", "POST"); _root.Form.gotoAndStop ("Thanks");}
So...I don't have the least idea of what's going on with this all.
Perhaps any of you could explain what's wrong with such a simple thing like this and how to avoid this strange behaviour.
Thank you very much!

Converting Html Forms To Flash Forms?
i'm in the middle of creating a website for a record company. i've been doing it all in flash, so when they asked me to set up a newsletter facility, i decided it would be in flash. here's my problem:
the host i'm using has a newsletter add/remove facility in html. i've tried converting this into flash but it just wont work! the html form code provided by the hoist (which does work) is below:
<form action='http://cp.cyberstation.co.uk/list.cgi' method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='list' value='Newsletter'/>
<input type='hidden' name='redirect-success' value='http://www.mickhayglaziers.co.uk/complete.html'/>
<b>Our Mailing List</b><br/>
<input type='text' name='email'/><br/>
<input class='radio' type='radio' name='action' value='add' checked='checked'/>Subscribe
<input class='radio' type='radio' name='action' value='delete'/>Unsubscribe<br/>
<input type='submit' value='Do it Now!'/>
</form>
The actionscript i used on the submit button when converted is:
on (release) {
list="Newsletter";
action="add";
loadVariablesNum ("http://cp.cyberstation.co.uk/list.cgi", "0", "Post");
}
The button is also, along with the list and action variables, on the main timeline!
can anyone offer any insight to where i'm going wrong?

Hi I am part of a hockey team and I want to build a website where people could specify if they come to play and when...

In order that anyone going on the page could see the number of people coming and modify the animation to tell if they come or change their plans...
I am looking for any kind of help, trails, tutorials...

Interactive Layers Over An Interactive Flash File
I've always been frustrated at the fact that dynamic text and images pulled into flash have not been able to be spidered by the search engines.
So, with a client site I'm developing, I'd like to try something different. I'm wanting to create a flash file with buttons that when clicked, open up the flash and create a blank area in the design where a div layer can be placed on top of the flash, positioned in such a way that it looks like it is part of the flash itself. When you then click on a seperate button on the flash, the div layer hides itself, and another div layer appears according to the relevant section of the flash you have chosen.
I might not be explaining myself very well, but for anyone following what I'm sayinig, has this been done before and does anyone know how?
Cheers,
Guy Blomberg
Email Forms, Feedback Forms
I have posted the same topic on the other section but i thought perhaps this one would be more appropiate?
I need help with creating a feedback forms (name, phone nubmer, email, comments etc) in a flash site.
I have d/n a CGI script that comes with the tutorial in Flash Kit. and I also found a PHP scripts that i was told it should do the same thing.
I am new to BOTH, CGI or PHP whatever,
After i read the CGI mail form tutorial , it seems like i need to link the button to cgi-bin/whatever.cgi right? How about PHP? Questions is DO i just paste the PHP code in the action windows of flash MX or place the code in a html page that creates a seperate window?
What is easier for newbees like me and is there any easier approprach?

Forms, Nested Forms, And Masks?
Is there a way to provide a mask that applies to nested slides and forms? I have a structure that looks like this:
Form1
Slide1
SubSlide1
SubSlide2
SubSlide3
SubSlide4
SubSlide5
SubForm1
SubForm2
The app starts and shows Slide1 containing a background provided by Form1 then based on button rollovers the sub slides show with a nice fade transition. This all works GREAT.
When the button is clicked the selected SubForm1 or SubForm2 screens (which contain separate swf files) is displayed with a left to right “fly in” transition while the Slide1 is hidden with a right to left “fly out” transition. Now again this works great except for the fact that I need a mask so that the user does not see the SubForms flying from outside the bounds of Form1.
I have tried applying masks to ALL forms and subforms with no success (including the masks to forms in the external swf files on the SubForms.) Is there a way to make this work or do I have to use a loader component to make the mask work the way I want?
Thanks,

[F8] How To Make An Interactive Swf Still Interactive While Playing In Another Swf
Sorry the titles a bit long winded but that pretty much what I need to do.

Ive done this but when it opens nothing happens, someone mentioned 'nesting' but I'm still not sure what im doing!

Interactive Buddy Not Being Interactive
I've attached the .swf of an interactive animation i've been working on. The character is supposed to;
Walk towards where ever the mouse is clicked
Wave when the character is clicked
Wave after a certain amount of inactive time.
The problems I have, which you should see in the file are sometimes when he walks over to where you click he doesn't turn back to face forwards, but he does sometimes. Also after clicking on him to make him wave he now waves more frequently and starts waving while he's moving too (where as b4 he would only wave when stood still)
If anyone has any ideas on what's wrong please reply

I have created a contact form and need to put whatever code or scripts needed to be able to send it. I have placed my text fields and entered Name, address, phone, etc. in the variable fields. I have created a submit button and need to know where to go from here. I was told I would be given the raw code (cgi). I have also been trying to understand where this code goes and what else is needed to make this work. I did read something about defining the recipient. Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on this for me. I have very little experience with html and actionscripting but am doing my best to learn and understand as much as possible.

hello.
this is my problem.
i have a button in a movieclip that is on the main timeline. This buuton, when pressed is supposed to send the text that is in the textfield next to it, to my email address. however this is not happening.
ive set up a cgi script in the cgi bin of my webpage with all the correct variables and still i cant get anything to happen.
Code:
on (release,keypress "<Enter>") {
address=_root.email;
loadVariablesNum(" http://www.mywebpage.com/web/cgi-bin/formparse.cgi",0, "GET");
_root.email = (" Thankyou");
}
the above code is placed in the actions of the button. basically the var "address" is assigned the value of my text box var "email" then sent to the script in the cgi bin.
the "email" var is then changed to read "Thankyou". this bit seems to work fine, its just the sending part that i seem to have problems with.
im just totally stumped. will the fact that the button is on a different level (timeline) cause any problems?
is there any kind of test i can run on the cgi script to check if it is working properly? i could then trouble shoot the flash movie rather than doubting the cgi script.
any guidance would be greatly appreciated...
thanks

F*****g Forms
sorry for the expletives but ive had enough of trying to get this CGI form to work properly when executed from within flash!!
my problem may seem a bit silly but its starting to get real annoying...
basically the CGI script works fine but its the way that flash is responding to it. here be my problem.
i have an input text box with the var name 'address'.
when the user clicks on the button next to it, it sends the text that is in the box to the CGI script. heres the code im using on the button>>>
Code:
on (release,keypress "<Enter>") {
loadVariablesNum("http://www.mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/formparse.cgi",0, "GET");
address = ("<P ALIGN='CENTER'>Thankyou</P>");
}
okay, that all seems fine but its what happens next thats getting my wound up. the CGI script is supposed to send a mail to the persons email address that they put into the form and also an email to me telling me what their email is so that i can add them to a mailing list. basically the CGI script works fine (ive checked using an HTML form) its just when i use Flash to send the variables it>>>>
A> doenst send a thankyou reply to the senders email...
and
B> when i get their email info back it looks like this>>>
Email Address - <P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#666666">so@email.address.co.uk</FONT></P>
ive also descovered a file on my server called DEAD LETTER, which seems to hold all the un sent Thankyou emails... whats going on!!!
im well and truly stumped on this one.. anyone who could help would be saving me from a real nasty 'head in computer screen' senario...
Using Php For Forms
Hi.
I am desperately trying to understand how to use php with a Flash form. I have looked at tutorials, but don't know actionscripting well enough to make sense of them. The following code for the "submit" buttons is from a tutorial I am trying to use, but I don't understand how the form knows what email address to send the information inputted to the form to.
on (release) {
if ((vemail.indexOf("@") != -1) && (vemail.indexOf(".") != -1) && (length(vemail)>5)) {
action = "Send";
loadVariablesNum ("mailform.php", 0, "POST");
nextFrame ();
} else {
vemail = "Please enter email";
action = "";
stop ();
}
}

Forms
Pleeez help - I am designing my first flash site and the I need to create a form with basic details - once they have completed the form and pressed submit - I would like them to go to a new swf.
This is the scripting I have used - I think the error is with the gotoAndPlay but I am not sure how to amend it -
on (release) {
subject = "Press Information";
recipient = "info@samphireuk.com";
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.samphireuk.com/cgi-bin/afm.pl", 0, "POST");
gotoAndPlay ("press1.swf");
}
Thanks

Ok I found this tutorial in Flash 4 and hoped it would work but I am not getting it to work. Are there any changes in version 5 that will keep this from working? Also doesnt there need to be a line of script that emails the info to the server? My traditional html form has that and I think that this Flash version would need that as well. Can you help me?
I know I am asking alot of questions here. But also how does Flash know all the text boxes are linked to gether and the buttons? There are no "form tag" type comments to tell it so.
Here is the tutorial I found here on Flashkit. I excluded the making of the actual form and text boxes.
Create two buttons now, Send and Clear (see the tutorial on Building Buttons and Adding Actions) and place them in your form.
In the "Clear" button add the actions:
On (Release)
Set Variable: "name" = ""
Set Variable: "homepage" = ""
Set Variable: "email" = ""
Set Variable: "comments" = ""
End On
In the "Send" button add the actions:
On (Release)
Load Variables ("http://www.server.com/cgi-bin/myform.cgi", 1, vars=POST)
End On
CGI Forms
Ok I am getting farther along here.
I have an HTML product page that uses a cgi form post to send variables like
${PRICE}, ${Quantity}, etc.
to another CGI script which handles the checkout and shopcart.
I want to convert the product page to flash (5) and pass the variables to the cgi for checkout.
Is this as simple as assigning each value a variable and using a post to send the data to the specified CGI? IT seems too simple and i can't get it to work. Also I pass the data to a cookie to track the contents of the users shopcart when thet are on the site. I have seen posts for cookies, but will it be possible to keep the cookie updated each time variables are passed?
Any help would be appreciated. IF I can pull this off I will have a web based e-commerce solution that is 100% flash compatible. see http://www.storesontheweb.com
I would be willing to trade someone a free online store for some period of time if they could help me make this work.
