Getting A Flash To Work With FormMail
Ok, I have tried a couple things. First of all, I have my form fields dumping into a LoadVars object called form.

form = new LoadVars();
form.blah1 = "blah";
etc etc

Now, when I try doing:

form.sendAndLoad("url/cgi-bin/formmail.pl", replyData, "POST");

I get nothing. Putting this inside an on(release) action on my submit button does nothing. I even tried it from the SWF on the same server as the formmail since the Flash docs say that they have to be on the same domain for security. But nothing happens when I press the button.

I've been able to get it to work when using send(). But then it pops up the browser window with the result and I want to suppress that into the replyData variable. But when I do sendAndLoad(), it doesn't send to the script.

Problems Using UI Form Components In MX2004 Sending To Formmail.pl
Hi guys,

I've got a site that is using a basic set of UI Components that are referencing a formmail.pl script.

It 'seems' to be working, as in as much that I recieve the email but the contents aren't what I expected.

The email contains the following:
tfList: [object Object]
stylecache: [object Object]
useHandCursor: false
rolloverIcon: falseUpIcon
childrenCreated: true
__f_click: [type Function]
initializing: false
upSkin: _level0.instance46.fus
skinName: _level0.instance46.frs
phase: rollover
rolloverSkin: _level0.instance46.frs
downSkin: _level0.instance46.fds
keyHandler: [object Object]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent tutorial?

cheers

Flash Formmail Forms Work Remotely...but Not On The Server?
Hey guys...

Have a very odd problem.
I have flash forms that call a formmail script that work fine while testing my movie and just opening the .swf off my hard drive...it accesses the script and sends me the email.

But when I upload the .swf to the server and view them live, they do not send me the email. The files are identical, same path and recipient, so I have no idea why they work remotely but not on the server.

My hosting service has not idea?
Anyone have a suggestion...any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

Form Won't Work?HELP HELP HELP
Hi.

Trying to get a form to work using a tutorial we found on flashkit. I have zipped the flash file and the FormMail.pl file we are using on my server.

Wondering if someone can check them over for mistakes, as we dont recieve e-mail after filling in the form.

The path to perl is correct for my server
so is the sendmail path.

What could be wrong?
I would appreciate your help.

Thank you

I have used one of the tutorials on kirupa, but it seems like I dont recieve any mails after the submission...

Here is the PHP code :
PHP Code:

Pls Help With My Form. It Wont Work
I hope someone can please help me. I have been trying to figure this problem out for 2 weeks now and getting NOWHERE! My feedback form on my new website will NOT work at all! I mean, it will not email me the results. I dont know what I am doing wrong! My current html website that is up uses the exact same formmail script that I have on my server and my results are sent to me fine, so im thinking it must have something to do with the flash. Here is the scripting that I have attached to my submit button.
on (release) {
subject = "Contact Form";
recipient = "sales@wdu.net";
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.wdu.net/cgi-local/FormMail.pl", 0, "GET");
gotoAndPlay ("Thank you");
}

I know that the url is correct and I know that all the variables in my formmail are correct because the other site is using it just fine. I have also tried to replace the GET with POST and it wont work either. Can anyone give me some feeddback or troubleshooting ideas that I can try? Thanks to anyone who can help! I REALLY need to get this done soon and this is the only thing holding it up.

**Ok, ive tried Netbreed's flashmailer that I heard some people talking about on the S&B forum, but it STILL wont work. I am totally clueless now because I have never had this much problems in HTML.

I Can't Get My Submit Form To Work..help Please?
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me to get my submit form on my website to work? I am working in Flash 5 and I used this tutorial on flashkit to create my form:

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...-807/index.php

The two problems that I have:

1) I cannot get the information contained in the submit form to be sent to the email address that is specified in the script. (I have tried both suggestions by Matthew in his tutorial by switching 'mailuser' to 'targetpage' and 'recipient' to 'redirect'. Neither of which seem to solve this situation.

2) I did not get the part in Matthews tutorial about setting up the script so that the 'thanks, your information has been submitted' message would open within the same flash movie. I know that right now it is setup to load into a 'thanks.htm' file. How do I get it so that it does NOT open an external window with a thanks message and the movie just will go to a different frame to tell the user thanks. Is that possible? If it is not possible and I have to have a thanks.html open then I need some help getting that to work. I created a thanks.html page and uploaded it to my server. I put the page in both my cgi folder and my html folder but the page wont come up when directed.

I have attached my .fla file. Can someone please help me with this?

thanks in advance...

Can't Get Form In Flash To Work PHP
Hello,
I'm having a very difficult time getting a form in Flash to work. I want to use a php script. I know that my server supports it because I'm able to send myself an email using a php script located on the server.

Basically what I want is just a single input field form for people to enter their email address. It would then be sent to my email address in a message, so I could add it to my records and e-list.

I've found tutorials all over the web about email forms, and I've tried to modify them to get them to work like I want. It seems to me the problem is that the script isn't receiving the variables from flash.
As I mentioned above, the php email is working fine as I've tested it independently.

What could be going wrong that I need to fix? I've followed several tutorials and none have worked for me yet.

Any and all help is immensely appreciated!

Flash Form Won't Work In IE...?
I have created a small search text box in flash for searching the website (it searches and outputs to HTML, not flash).

I also have the AC_RunActiveContent.js thing installed, so that's not the issue. The flash file itself loads fine. However, whenever I submit a search term in the box, it comes back saying that "your referrer does not match our list of trusted hosts." It works just fine in Firefox. Here is the code that I have in the flash file for the search box:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.searchTerm = searchTerm.text;
my_lv.send("search.asp", "_self", "GET");
}

What can I do to fix it?

I loaded e-mail form swf file into a main swf. E-mail function works but it won't go to the next frame. I understand the mail form swf is no longer _root because it's loaded into a main swf file.

Looking For A Way To Make A Form WORK
I have made a website for my company using Flash and someone has requested that I add a form to our website. Right now the user clicks the link and it opens his/her default email (Simple!), but now they want them to click that button and have the user goto another page where they enter their name, email, phone, company name, have a combo box listing what department the email will be going to, then a comments box. I have tried and tried to get this to work. I created a simple form with my name, phone, and comments box, filled it out and hit the send button. I never recieved the email with the information. My work uses an exchange server for the mail. I have tried an asp and a php behind to go behind this form and I have no luck so far. I think between our exchange server, our email filter, and firewall, somewhere along the line it gets blocked out or something. I did check the email filter and it was not getting caught in that. In conlclusion I didn't know if anybody might know how I can get information from a form sent to me in an email or if I can get the online form to write a file and save it to a location on the webserver. If you could help I would really appreciate it.

GET FLASH FORM TO WORK
OK, I am trying to get my flash form to work and I'm working with a template from FLASH MX BIBLE. I'm going to paste both my action script and my cgi script in here & hopefully I can find an answer to why it doesn't work. Basically what happens is it says it was received, but it wasn't. ... or it is but none of the words come through (this happened earlier before I tried tweeking the script... which I think made it worse).


........ thank you thank you to anyone who can help me ...........

obj.fromName = fromName.text;
obj.toEmail = "chicfurniture@sbcglobal.net<mailto:chicfurniture@sbcglobal.net>";
obj.toName = "Shawna Cogar";

Grr. Cannot Get PHP Contact Form To Work.
Hi!

I cannot get a PHP contact form working. I have tried everything i can think of (which isn't much!) and can't get it to work. This is what i am using. Can anybody see what's wrong with this please? As you can see, the form contains a fromname, fromemail, subject and message fields.
I'm a complete newb when it comes to PHP. Please please please help.









Attach Code

ActionScript on form frame:
function lineAdapt() {
message_send = message;
while (msg_count<length(message)) {
msg_count = msg_count+1;
if ((substring(message_send, msg_count, 2)) eq "
") {
message_send = (substring(message_send, 1, msg_count-2)) + "
" + (substring(message_send, msg_count+2, (length(message_send))-msg_count+2));
}
}
message = message_send;
delete msg_count;
delete message_send;
}

Action script on button:
on (release) {
if (subject eq "" or message eq "" or fromname eq "" or fromemail eq "") {
stop();
} else {
lineAdapt();
loadVariablesNum("mail.php3", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop(415);
}
}

PHP script:
<?php
mail("my@emailaddress.com", $subject, $message, "From: $fromname
Reply-To: $fromemail
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
?>

Contact Form Won't Work
well i've tried everything i can think of to get this email form to work. I followed the email form in flash using PHP tutorial and the only thing i can think of as being the cause of the problem is that the contact form is within a movie clip and not on the main timeline. do i need to put a _root. somewhere infront of the send button code to make this work? if so where?

whenever i test the form on my server it just seems to get stuck and never even move on to the thank you frame.

at the moment i ahve this script on the send button


Code:
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}
and this on the form movieclip

Code:
onClipEvent(data){
_parent.nextFrame();
}

thank you in advance.

Getting Flash Form To Work...
Hi every one I'm in the process of building a flash form I've been following tutorial:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm

MY EXAMPLE WORK FILE: http://www.johncliffordtaylor.com/form_help.fla

But I've made a change to the work layout (details below) and now I can't get my:

onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}

ActionScript to work so when you press the send button on the form page the play head doesn’t advance to the thank you frame.

In the tutorial shown all the frames are on the main timeline. Because of existing content layout in the site I’m building this form for I have to build the same form and placed it in a movie clip aptly named "form" so it will occupy only one frame on the main timeline.

Sadly this is where the problems start because even though the PHP email function is working fine, the when you click on the send button the play head doesn’t advance to the thank you frame.

I think the problem lines in the:

_root.nextFrame();

Part should it be a:

this.nextFrame();

So any help would be very cool thx for taking the time to read and help out

John
