Simple Email Function Question?
So I created this simple function
Code:
function emailTo(address):Void {
var address:String;
getURL("mailto:"+address);
}
Now I know this works
Code:
mail_btn.onRelease = function () {
this.address = "test@domain.com";
emailTo(this.address);
}
But I want it to be in this format
Code:
mail_btn2.onRelease = emailTo("test@domain.com");
But now it opens up my email program as soon as I test the flash file, so not on click
Any ideas??

Simple Email Button
Hi
I was going to include a full email page on my website but after looking into it, it looks as tho i have to use asp or html along with flash to get it working.
Is this true or can i just create a simple email form entirely in flash?
Alternatively, i might just put a email button on that will take the user to their browsers email page. Does anyone know what code i need on the email button so that it will do this?
Thanx

Simple Email Doing My Head In
Heyas people,
Got me a problem with this stupid email form. I am using AS to validate peoples usernames and email addresses, if the name is too short, or the email address does not contain the '@' or '.' symbol, they receive an error message in my 'output' box (thought about using a similar thing for the message body but decided that was being a little extreme).
Anywho, it works, but not as we know it scotty (english comedy, sorry). It doesn't seem to understand when the fields have been entered correctly and I cannot understand why. I've been reading through my AS and cannont explain it. If one of you AS genius could take a look at it for me and let me know where I'm going wrong and perhaps write an example of the correct AS that would be "most excellent" (Quote by Bill and Ted).
Anywho, I`m jabbering again.
Regards,
Email Button? This Has Got To Be Simple
I had a text object that had an email link
mailto:bla@blah.com
the client wants roll over states so I made it into a button.
Then the hit area doesn't work right for the button, when I roll over the text if it has the mailto link on the text, it strobes back to the normal text and back to the link text.
so I took off the link tha was on the text and did an
on(press){
getURL("mailto:blah@blah.com");
}
It didn't do anything, so I added
getURL("mailto:blah@blah.com","_blank");
still nothing,
what am i overlooking?

Simple Email Question
Alright, so, i'm tasked with a project where I'm having the user type an essay into an input text form, and then have a submit button where it sends the written essay to an email address.
so, the input text's var name = EssayAnswer.
the code on my submit button is:
on(release){
getURL("mailto:random@random.com?subject=Essay&bod y='EssayAnswer'")
}
if you take that url and place into your web browser it'll open up your default email program, enter in "essay" for the subject. and make the body "essayanswer"
--------------------
So here's my question. When you place this code into a button the browser only navigates to "mailto:random@random.com" completely neglecting to add the ?subject and latter stages of the adress. My thoughts are that it's because of the question mark being an incorrect charecter. I tried the URL encoding for a question mark (%3F) and still doesn't work. All that does is make the recipient of the email "random@random.com?subject=Essay&body='EssayAnswer ' "
as if the entire line was meant to be the recipients address.
How can I A). Get flash to send the correct data to the browser?
and B) Can i make the subject and body equal to string variables so that they can be user defined through input text boxes?
P.S. Since this is not meant to be a web app, and merely a program ran locally from the user's machine I'd like to try avoiding using the PHP method of sending email. for 1) because i don't think that's what the boss has in mind, and 2) i'm not 100% how to do it.
Thanks alot in advance! I've been trying at it for a couple of days with no avail so any response or advice would be incredibly appreciated!

Simple Email From Flash.
I set up a very simple version, but it's still not sending me an email.
FLASH:
Code:
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("email_parse.php");
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varLoader.load(varSend);
email_parse.php:
PHP Code:
<?
$to = "XXX@gmail.com";
$from = "XXX@yahoo.com";
$msg = "this is the message";
$subject = "this is the subject";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: me
Reply-To: $from
");
?>
It is my understanding that the problem could be that my server isnt setup for emailing through php. If so, is there a way to check this?

Email Validation On Simple Form
I am sure this is trivial to most, however, I am struggling. I have a simple form on which I am trying to add very basic email verification otherwise it is possible for a user to send me rubbish that appears to come from a non existent mailbox at my domain. I have changed the action script to the one below but keep getting the fault shown
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (!email_txt.length || email_txt.indexOf("@") == -1 || email_txt.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status_txt.text = "Invalid Email.";
} else if (!subject_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Subject";
} else if (!message_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Message";
} else {
loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
name = "Full Name:";
email = "Email address:";
message = "thank you, your message has been sent";
}
}
The error I get is as follows;
**Error** Symbol=Symbol 39 FORM, layer=Symbol 38, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
As far as I am aware, the layout is right and I just don't no what to do next.
Can somebody please help, if it's not obvious, I am very new at this!!

Simple Email Form Problem
I have followed the "Flash-Based Email Form Using PHP by senocular " tutorial on this site, and have got it to work. However, when my Flash email form .swf is loaded into another Flash movie, when the user clicks 'Send' , the email sends but the flash movie is not moved onto the next frame (where it says thanks for sending an email etc). This is the ActionScript which is applied to the form:
onClipEvent(data){
// show email sent screen
_root.nextFrame();
}
I dont understand why this works when the email swf is played on its own, but doesnt work when loaded into another movie. I have placed this line in frame 1 but still no joy:
this._lockroot = true;
any help please?

Simple Email Link That Opens NEW MESSAGE Box

Simple Email List Subscription Form
Hi Folks!
First, thanks to anyone that can lend any help...I'm sort of banging my head against the desk on this one!
I'm making an email signup form for people to input their email address to get sent to a php form (hosted on another site)...I took a look at the tutorial on AS.org and thought I did everything right, but it's not quite working! I've also done a search but everyone seems to fix there problems before someone can help them!
My HTML tag is as follows:
PHP Code:
<form method=post action=http://www.ymlp.com/subscribe.php?bottleofjustus>
<table border=0>
**<tr>
****<td><input type="text" name="YMLP0" size="20"></td>
****<td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
**</tr>
</table>
</form>
Now my AS in my MC (this MC is contained in a huge movie scene) for my "submit" button is this:
PHP Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.ymlp.com/subscribe.php?bottleofjustus", "_blank", "POST");
}
And I have an input text field with the variable YMLP0...which is what it should be, correct?
I've uploaded a simple FLA/SWF here.
The form get's sent to the page fine, but it's telling me I haven't input an email address...so if you guys have any thoughts, please let me know!
Thanks so much!

Simple Flash Email Submission Help Needed
Hello.
Im not very up on my Flash skills, so im after some help on this.
I just want a very simple Input Box & Submission Button.
Users enter their email > click submit and the email is sent off.
Know I know how to handle the email using PHP.
So I can build a PHP page to take in a variable $email.
However im not 100% on the flash side.
I have created an input box.
I have created a button graphic and converted it to a button.
Within the button, I have added the following Code:
PHP Code:
on (release) {
if (!Email.length || Email.indexOf("@") == -1 || Email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid E-mail address";
}
else
{
loadVariablesNum ("phpemail.php", "0", "Post");
EmailStatus = "Sending... one Moment .. or two.. sometimes it's faster then other times";
}
}
I found this code in an example.
Currently when i export, it does nothing.
I think i need to set the input box with the name "Email"
Can anyone give me a hand getting this going?
Many THanks
Flash Email Form - Simple Question
I was looking at a tutorial the other day for a Flash email form, it said you have to use PHPObject to make it... But then I stumbled across a similar form which just had a Flash file and a PHP file... I was wondering the difference? They both seemed to do the same thing, but using PHPObject you seem to have to use a whole heap of files... Probably a dumb question but if someone could explain would be greatly appreciated!
