Flash :: Trying To Create HTML Email

Line Breaks Missing In Email Form
Hi,

I've got an email form on my Flash site that sends the data inputted to a PHP script (see attached) that consequently sends an email to me containing the info. The problem is that the email I get doesn't include line breaks, e.g. if someone fills in the email form like this:
Hi
How are you?

The email I receive displays the message like this:
HiHow are you?

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks

Leao

PHP Code:

<?
$to = 'mail@mydomain.org';

$subject = 'St. Patrick's message';

$body = "You have received a message via the St. Patrick's website. The details of the message are listed below...

Name: $yourname
Email: $youremail
Message: $yourmessage";

$body = wordwrap($body, 70);

$headers = "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
";
$headers .= "From: mail@mydomain.org
";
$headers .= "Return-Path:mail@mydomain.org
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $youremail
";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion()."
";

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-fmail@mydomain.org.org");
?>

HTML Formatted Email W/ Flash: Email Link Help
is there a way to put a mailto into a Flash that's embedded in an email without a browser window popping up when the user clicks on it.

The reply email works fine, but a browser window will open with the mailto in the URL and "Action Canceled" in the window. Not too pro looking.

Also, I found the Flash only plays in some email clients, when user views the email. I had to put a 'play' button on the first frame before the loader in case it doesn't play. I tried putting a "gotoAndPlay" but that didn't work either, took the loader out, even put the animation on the main timeline. Funky.

Told the client it's a bad idea, unpredictable, but they never listen to people that know what's up...

Bold Italic HTML Goes Missing In TextFields
anyone ever had this issue?
underline tags works no problem.

bold and italic tags make the text disappear.

Code:
this.createTextField("newsy_txt",this.getNextHighestDepth(),0,30,385,178);
newsy_txt.html = true;
newsy_txt.condenseWhite = false;
newsy_txt.htmlText = "bold italic underline";
above code simply returns:

HTML Formatted Text Missing In Linux
I've got a swf (version 7, as 2) that loads HTML formatted text (with corresponding CSS tags) from a .txt file, and everything seems to work well on Windows (so far I have tried Opera, Mozilla, Firefox, IE). But when I just tried to run it on a Linux dist (Ubuntu) all text is missing. It is just empty!

The CSS tags I used, just look similar to the one that follows:

ActionScript Code:
flashStyle.setStyle("headertext", {color: "#543314", fontFamily: "Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif", fontSize: "13px", fontWeight: "bold"});

I also tried to remove the fontFamily, but nothing seemed to happen. Does anyone have any thoughts? I found a rather similar thread thread, but i didnt get any wiser by reading it. Is it impossible to use HTML/CSS and Linux??

I'd appreciate any ideas...

Create An Email Button?
I'm the first to admit that I may be a total retard but I can't find any posts, or any help from my manual either, regarding a very simple action... click a button, launch the user's default emailer (or the browser's emailer, whatever). In GoLive, the "get URL" command does this, but the same command in action scripts,

"on (release) {
getURL ("info@topshelfrecordings.com", "_blank");
}"

is just launching a new browser window with an error message. check it,
<<http://topshelf.server101.com/index.swf>>

Thanks.

Create Email Using Flash
I have a Flash presentation that will go onto CD. My client wants me to add a function on there so people can email from within flash.

It needs to work the same way as it would if you clicked on a button that had an mailto: function. But needs to have a flash frontend on it, instead of whichever mail client they are using. I also need the subject filed to be already populated.

Hope that makes sense.

Trying To Create A Contact Email Form Using Php Script
Hello All;

I have a contact form in a flash movie. The form has like 10 1 line fields and 1 comment / multiline box. I am an extreme newbie so bare with me. In the contact flash form I have a submit button with the following action code attached to it is attached.

The commented out code is my attempt of making sure that certain fields are filled out by the end user before they hit submit, but that is another problem that I will deal with once I get the form to actually send an email.

The php file that is suposed to send the mail is also attached. This doesn't really work. I have no idea why and I have been reading tutorials and websites all day. I am about to buy one of the $6 flash submission forms, but would really rather make mine work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am doing this in Flash CS3 but using AS2.0. If there is anything additional you need me to link let me know. The form is at http://www.remedypgh.com and click on the contact button/links.

Thanks allot in advance for your help.

Cheers

Is There A Way To Create A Flash Email Form Without Using External Scripts

So I won't be needing CGI/PHP/ASP etc etc scripts

I Need To Create A Actionscript To Show A Message - Email Sent From A Button
I want to modify the folowing actionscript to inform the sender of a email that after pressing the submit button i want a cool readable and non intrusive message to inform the user the email has been sent - I do not think there is a way the really know that the email is sent - so i need to modify the on release event on a button to display a message box to the user and then with out user doing anything have it go away. I could i guess post a little status text saying message sent or maybe beep and have message box go away might be the best choice - i guess any cool ideas on this one i only want to do this in a action script all in code or script.

The following is the to buttons submit and reset by the way reset works but a beep might help to know if the action took place.

Here some background information on what I am trying to do as show a message to the user like when the bttn12 button is pressed how do I modify the actionscriipt on bttn12 to tell the user that the message has been sent. Something simple i hope.

Same with the bttn11 which just beep.

The purpose in both cases is to show the user the button is working it does not mean that the actual contact form has successfy been sent – but if that could be done that would be cool but I think that is too much work to do.

Allso I have included the email.php and it sits in the same folder as the swf file does on the web server. Could you look at this file I have attached below and see if you have any ideas on this. Do you think the email.php will work and do you have any ideas on improvement on this email.php – that is if you know .php to some extent. THANKS I do not think it is working and it should be.

bttn12

on (release){

txt.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");

}

Bttn11

on (release) {

tellTarget("txt"){

t1="your name"

t3="comments"

t2="e-mail"

}

}

Here is the email.php

<?php

$sendTo = "cleopataura@comcast.net";

$subject = "Message from Massage Yoga Polarity contact form.";

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];

$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">
";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "
";

$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["email"];

$message = $_POST["message"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

HTML Email Template
Hi all

Not sure which forum to place this in so I've put it in General Help.

We require to send out a HTML email for a marketing campaign. We've embedded a Flash movie which the user clicks on and it takes them to a feedback form on our website. The question is we require to pass the user id to this form, we can amend the HTML when sending the email out, but is there any way we can retrieve this from Flash and append this the the getURL statement. Just to make it even harder, you can not use Javascript or VBScript as the end software (typically outlook) does not support them.

This is a tricky one, any suggestions?
