Validate Text And Submit The Text On To A New Field
Hi am having problem wiht my validation
im tryin to validate a text, which does the action below:

function validateMessage () {
var arr = []; // create an empty array
var msg = msg.text; // set var to the current text field

arr = msg.split(" "); // split each word into our array

if (arr.length > 10) { // if the array is longer than 10
// return a value of false to var istrue
} else { // if the array is less 10
// return a value of true to var istrue
}

but if i try to use the on realse method which send the text on to new screen and i use GotoAndStop (frame) to send it to the next frame.

I tried this bu t im getting problem, i can't seem to make the validation work correctly, it should only allow you to go through if you enter less then 10 words, if not it would send out and error message which is

error_msg.text = "You've exceeded 10 words, Please Try Again"; // do something

Submit Text Field
I'm making a tutorial video and on the end I would like a page that says "Any Quetions?" with a text field where the user can type their question, and a field to enter their own email so we can reply. When the submit button is pressed the text needs to be sent to someone at my company via email or something like that. How can this be done? I can't find a starting point for this in tutorials. Please Help! Thanks in advance.

How Do I Submit Input Text?
Hello,

I am currently making a flash myspace. I almost have everything done except the comment box.

For all you people who have made a comment box on myspace you know that you have to add quite a lot of HTML variables and such to the code.

But I am stuck with making it in flash.

This is my regular code for the comment box.

Code:
<form method="post" action="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.confirmComment">
<input type="hidden" name="friendID" value="84759643">
<textarea name="f_comments" wrap="VIRTUAL"></textarea>

Now how do I do that in flash? I have my input text made with a variable called "comment" and a button made. All I need help with is the actionscript itself.

Thank you,
Artem

Input Submit To Dynamic Text
I want to have a user type something into an input box...
press enter...
and print what they just wrote on the input box in a dynamic text box. I also want to have the input box cleared out when enter is pressed... I have a submit button with the following on it

ActionScript Code:
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
command += newline;
command += input;
input = "";
}

Any ideas why this doesn't work....
Just for any help this may bring (to show it's not the button or whatever)

the following script does work (well not the input part) but does print out an unchanging sting on a newline

ActionScript Code:
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
command += newline;
command += "some random junk"
input = "";
}

Help... if you can thanks

Text Fields - Pressing <enter> To Submit And...
Hello,

Regarding text fields, such as a login screen like at hotmail.com... is there any way to get flash to load the text field --ready to be typed in-- with the cursor flashing in the "user name" field? Also, once the password has been entered, is it possible to add a script that will allow you to merely press <enter> to submit the login info withOut having to add a submit button in order to use an "on (key<enter>) {"?

thanks for your input!

Submit Form Vars That Need To Be Sent To A Text File
I have a submit form with 3 variables (name,profession and email address).
I wonder if it is possible to save them in a text file in the server (each time a client suscribes) using only Action Script.
Or maybe send an email with that info ( so I can later put it in a file).
Is this possible?since I don´t know anything about PHP.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

[F8] Input Text Field To 'submit' On 2nd Return?
Hello there.
I've looked and looked for a solution to this and ALMOST got it working, but it's not behaving reliably enough.
I've got an input text field that I want to limit to 2 lines. I've set Selection.focus to the text field so you can just start typing when the field appears. If you press enter, you jump down to the second line (in the same field). If you press enter again, you 'submit' your text. This all works as intended - unless you click on the text field before typing. If you do that, when you hit enter the FIRST time it submits the text.
Currently I'm counting the occurences of '
' using indexof and submitting the text if the count is 2 or greater. Why it submits after 1 return, I do not know.
Is there a more elegant way to just 'get' the number of lines (rows) in an input text field (in AS2)?
If so, cheers in advance.

Submit Form Including Ui Component And Input Text
aaaargh!

I've been working with the example from macromedia (the one called order_form.fla) on UI components in a form and am completely frustrated. I have altered their example to submit to my existing cgi script and can get the UI combobox component to work but cannot get a simple Input Text field to pass the data to the cgi!

My action script is included below. I'm sure that it is a simple oversight on my part but I'm at a loss as to what's wrong. I've simplified the example to see if I can get it working. I have only two fields that I'm working with right now - "State" and "firstname". "State" is a combobox and only includes a few numbers right now for demo purposes - it submits data fine. "firstname" is a simple "input Text" box with an instance name of "firstnameIn" and a variable name of "firstname" - it does not transmit the input value to the cgi. I don't need replyData to do anything other than show that the form data has been received by the server - no need for feedback.

I just can't see where I've screwed up! Can you help?

Action Script:

//
// Change the value of sumbitURL to the URL
// of the CF or ASP file on your server.
//
submitURL = "http://216.130.169.5/cgi-bin/autodebt.cgi";
function onReset() {
StateIn.setSelectedIndex(0);
message_txt.text = "";
submit_btn.enabled = true;
}
function onSubmit() {
// Create a new LoadVars instance for the form data
formData = new LoadVars();
// Initialize formData variables:
formData.firstname = "";
formData.State = "";
// Gather the order information into a LoadVars instance.
formData.State = StateIn.getValue();
// Create another LoadVars instance to receive the server's reply
replyData = new LoadVars();
// Initialize reply variable.
replyData.State = "";

// Specify a function to call when this new instance receives the reply.
replyData.onLoad = handleReply;
// Submit the order data
formData.sendAndLoad(submitURL, replyData, "post");
// Tell the user what's happening.
message_txt.text = "Submitting request, please wait...";
}
function handleReply(success) {
if (success) {
message_txt.text = "Your request was received:
";
} else {
message_txt.text = "There was a problem submitting your order. The server may be down or not responding.";
}

How Can I Have Input Text Fields Submit To Email On A Button?

Compound Conditional Input-text With Submit Button Problem
I'm sure I have this almost right but it won't work - I have searched but can't quite find the solution. I'm sure it is really simple so any help is greatly appreciated.

It is for an educational interactivity derived from these rules:

Quote:

Quantity Ordered/Discount Applied
300 – 350 = 7%
200 – 299 = 5%
100 – 199 = 3%
Less than 100 = No discount

In the animation there are 4 text input boxes (input_'x') each with their own submit button (submit_'x'_btn) beside them. The pupil will enter a 'quantity' number into each box, hit the submit button and a movieclip will play to represent the '% discount' resulting (say, five_mc).

So here is my pidgin code so far, it should make sense as to what I want to happen.

Code:
submit_1_btn.on (release) {
if (input_1<=350 && input_1>=300) {
_root.seven_mc.play();
} else if (input_1<=299 && input_1>=200) {
_root.five_mc.play();
} else if (input_1<=199 && input_1>=100) {
_root.three_mc.play();
} else if (input_1<100) {
_root.nodisc_mc.play();
}
If someone can sort that into woarkable code I would be very thankful, and for bonus points an 'Invalid Entry' rule would be amazing.

Thanks in advance

Auto Submit From Flash Form Cfinput Text Field
I have a Flash Form in ColdFusion 8 that consist of a CFInput Text field, and a CFGrid. When the user scans a barcode, I want the form to validate that there is a value, then submit the form (without using a submit button).

Since I'm still a newbie at ActionScript 3.0, I was hoping someone could shed some insite. Should I use the onBlur action in the cfinput tag? What actionscript commands do I need to force a submit?

Text Field For Entering Emaill Address And Submit Button

Parse "submit" Text On Contact Page?
I have a contact page on my flash site (www.amberbutler.com) that sends me an email generated via PHP. I do not have access to the code as it is provided by my host (godaddy). All the flash side does is name the variables and send them to the form. Then, I get emails like this:

Quote:

ad: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="futura" SIZE="12" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">genes</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
email: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="futura" SIZE="12" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">erasedforprivacy@yahoo.com</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
message: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="futura" SIZE="12" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="futura" SIZE="12" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">CUTE. I am proud of you amber!! i love you.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
name: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="futura" SIZE="12" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Kelsy</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>

As you can see, it's rather difficult to read but I don't have a clue where to begin fixing it. If it was just a few of the same character, sure, but I don't know how to parse out all of that. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
sogj

Submit Name Button
hi,
i'm trying to add a submit button that should pick up the value of a field (email address) that the user should fill and send it to a url where there's a database to collect these email addresses (the client has provided me with the url that should take care of the adding process); what is the best way to do that? keeping in mind that i don't want to use "get url" and send them to another page once they submit, i want to move to a different frame in the same fla movie.
any help would be very appreciated.

I can't get my submit and reset FLASH buttons to work when embeded in my PHP form. Here's what I have for the submit button:

And this for my reset button:

}

But it only send me empty variables everytime. These buttons work when I place them in my Flash form, but not when embeded. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

ASP Submit Form In MX
I have been playing with the ASP submit form which uses MX components from the MM website <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/applications/creating_forms/index.html">here</a>. This looks to be exactly what I need, however, I can't find a place, in either the ASP script or the FLA, where I can specify the location (ie. email address) the form data is to be submitted to. The best option for me at this time would be able to get the script to send the form data to an email address. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the ASP script:

[asp]

Dim reply_size, reply_quantity, reply_toppings, returnToFlash

reply_size = Request.Form("size")
reply_quantity = Request.Form("quantity")
reply_toppings = Request.Form("toppings")

returnToFlash = "reply_size=" & Server.URLEncode(reply_size) & "&reply_quantity=" & Server.URLEncode(reply_quantity) & "&reply_toppings=" & Server.URLEncode(reply_toppings)

Response.Write returnToFlash

Submit Form With CGI
Hi,

Just to let you know that I gave up using the php form. I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to make a good one that would work. I have found this tutorial and used the code in it. However, if I publish my work, the errBox don't seem to appear when I try to submit my form. In fact, nothing happen. The only one think that work is when I clear the data in the form. Here is the link I have been using for my form.

So, if someone could guide me through the process, I would really appreciate it.

Its sort of a poll that only i can get the results of. Is this possible and if so how do i do it. Sorry to be so demanding but i really need help.
