Flash Contact Form 'send' Button..
Hi...

I would really appreciate some help on this.

I'm very new to flash and i'm having problems making a 'send' button work on my contact form. I have found lots of sites explaining how to do this with the help of a PHP script but that doesn't help me as my server doesn't support PHP.

I also found out it may be possible using a cgi script....this is something the server does support but I can work out how to make it work.

I downloaded a cgi script and placed it in a folder i created on the server called cgi-bin, gave the folder and file 755 attributes. Then I edited the button to link it to the script but I either get a 404 error or access denied.

Can someone please help me do this?

Thank you

Help Getting Flash To Send Data To Php Contact Form Please...
I am struggling to get Kirupa's php contact form tutorial to work within a client's website.

Kirupa's source files work perfectly when I upload them to my server - but when I insert the form into my flash website - I am unable to receive the contact email at all.

The problem must be within the .fla file because I have not altered the php (except to change the email address to send to my email) The php file worked fine with the source .fla form. I basically copied the symbols form the source form into the .fla - then double checked the var_names and everything shoudl be good to go.

I am using Flash CS3 (but publishing for AS2) I have double checked all my input fields are named correctly with var_names that match the php code. The form fields have been created as a movieclip named "form" and the following action script attached:

onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
}

the send button has the following code attached:

on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}

Basically everything is identical to Kirupa's tutorial source files (which I tested with success) except it has been inserted into a flash website timeline - I also double checked there was no conflicting AS code anywhere else in the file.

Still, no email contact is received at all.
Anyone have a clue what I am missing???

Much appreciated!

Mail Contact Form
Hey,

I added a Mail contact form using PHP to my flash site. My flash site uses external .swfs that all have intro's and outros. When I input into my mail form, it sends to my email, but will not play the next frame that says thank you.

to get it to the next frame I used this:

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

I tried this. and _root but neither work.

Also once someone is on my contact page, they cannot leave it. They become stuck.

The .fla can be seen at www.ryanhohman.com/contact2.zip

Thanks

Flash/php Mail Form Tutorial
I've tried the Flash-Based Email Form Using PHP tutorial. It all works fine right now, but there are two struggles for me:

1. in the PHP-file I had to change $message into $body. (Problem already solved).
2. I cant get the code to work that tells the swf to go the next frame after the mail has been sent.

The code used on the form movieclip is:

Code:
onClipEvent(data) {
_root.nextFrame();
}
I've searched around in the forum and saw others had problem with this tutorial too, but there hasnt been a proper solution offered.

Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance

Multiple Contact Mail Form Help
I was trying to build a mail form with the ability to mail to different contacts. I found this form on Flashkit's movies site:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...dex.php?chk=no

What extactly is required to get this to work? I'm afraid I know nothing about asp or using flash with asp. I changed the e-mails in the variables layer so that I could test this mailer. Then, I uploaded the swf and the asp to my ftp and ran the mail form. When I click send, the text box just says "sending correspondance" and never actually sends an e-mail. This must mean that I have to enter some different values based on my web site or something along those lines. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Send IP Address In Contact Form
How would I gather the same information that's possible in an HTML form? For instance, I would like to get the IP of the sender, such as:

<input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_ADDR, REMOTE_USER, HTTP_USER_AGENT">

I've been getting so much spam from my Flash site, I have to figure this out.

Anyone know how to add this into a PHP script, or via Actionscript?

thanx!!!

[F8] Play Animation On Send For Contact Form...
Ok... Here's what I'm doing...

I'm creating a contact form in flash... When the page loads.. there will some animation... small stuff, like butterflies flitting around and what not... when the user presses the "Send" button on the form, I want to send the form to email (which I know how to do) and then play the animation of the contact form going into a mail box, mail box closes, and flag comes up... and then a message pops up saying thank-you.. blah blah.. we will respond to your inquiry asap...

The message can be part of the movie, so that's not an issue...

My question...

There will be a little bit of animation happening when the page loads.. so the contact form is part of a movie... how do I get it where when they click "Send" the final sequence of animation will play with the form going in the mail box.. etc... without affecting the butterflies and such flitting around behind it and making sure the form still gets emailed to me???

Thanks again for your help everyone!!

Contact Form With Combox To Choose Who To Send To
Hello. Iv'e been coming to this site for all my flash needs and have found everything i have needed so far but this one thing.

Im pretty new at flash so im not really sure where to begin. I've read the different tutorials on contact forms and am trying to understand PHP and XML and all... but am still pretty confused. If anyone can help me out in this or point in the right direction where to start I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Contact Form Send Without All Fields Entered
I have a contact form set up with 5 fields and it can only be sent if all 5 fields are filled in. Not all my clients want to enter a phone number or wedding date, so I need to know how to change the action script so that it will still send if only 2 or 3 of the text fields have been entered. I think the following is the action script I need to edit -- I just don't know how;

_submit.onRelease = function(){
if (txt1.text == txt1.startText ||
txt2.text == txt2.startText ||
txt3.text == txt3.startText ||
txt4.text == txt4.startText ||
txt5.text == txt5.startText) {
clearFields();
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
_this.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
clearFields();
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

Thank you for any help you can send.

Contact Form Using A Java Based Mail Servlet
I was trying to make a contact form using a PHP file but my server is not PHP mail enabled and uses a java based mail servlet. Is there any way to used that servlet to send via the contact form or is there some other way I need to proceed to put a contact form in a flash ad without usin PHP???

[F8] Contact Us Form Won't Verify Infomation And Send Information
Ok, so I used a tutorial on
http://www.flzone.com/showDetail.asp...form/index.htm

OK, so I used the above tutorial on www.southcoastauto.us
Anyways, when I try to use the contact form, it doesn't check to make sure the fields are filled and it doesn't pass the information over to the .php file.

I think I am having problems with the submit button actionscript

Code:
on (release) {
if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") {
stop ();
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("form.php", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}

At form.php", 0, "POST, I think that the 0 should be something else but I don't know what.

But anyways, if you go to the above website, you can see for yourself that the fields don't verify if one is empty. And since that isn't working, nor is the rest of it where it sends the information to form.php

Could someone clarify if this will work for me?

BTW, as for the levels in the flash. I also have the form under scene 1 > page 4, if that makes any difference.

ALSO, I have discovered that if I click the reset button, then the first part of the actionscript work so that you can not hit submit til all the fields are filled in.

Send Form To E-mail
Does anyone know of a good script to use that will send form variables in Flash to an e-mail address? I have been building my form using this tutorial http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-583/index.php (Page 7 in particular) and have done everything but set the right script. (And I'm assuming that the end host will not have a mailing script of their own.)

Any help would be appreciated!

Send Mail Tutorial - Add A Radio Button
I was successful with creating a form as long as it included only text fields:

senderLoad.theName = contactForm_mc.theName.text;

and the php code below:

$message = "Name: " .$theName;

But, I am adding radio buttons to the form (contactForm_mc) and have not been able to figure out how to change the actionScript and the associated php to go along with it.

I have 2 radio buttons that will ask a user to choose am or pm and have created instance names of the am button as "am" and the pm button as "pm". The radio group is "Time"

so how would the senderLoad code be written and the php code.

Any help would be so appreciated!!!!

Creating A Form To Send Mail In MX
Hi,

wondering if anyone can help me?

I am trying to create a form for users to fill in, and when they press submit, it sends the information to an email address.

I have set up the form within a movie file, within the scene, but since I have done that the submit button, and so the sending of the email doesn't work. The form has to be in a movie because the other movie clips that are playing within the scene don't work otherwise.(the stop action in the form prevents this).

I have attatched a dummy of the form, incase anyone wants to look at it and see if I've done anything stupidly wrong!

If anyone could help that would be fantastic!!

Cheers,

Martyn

Mail Form Send + Go To Next Frame
mail form send + go to next frame
Howdy,

Just a thing with a mail form, maybe very basic for you all in here but just wondered if someone could help, basically its a submit button with action script, the button sends of the php file and thats all grand...

on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}

thing is i want it to play a certain frame after it and thought it would be something like
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

thing is that it only does the next frame script and does not send to the php, if i do not have the gotoandstop(2) and just leave the php part then that works, anyone any ideas as to why the two scripts will not work together or what way should i arrange the script, maybe i have it backwards, just learning flash so go easy on me...

thanks

[F8] Send Form Through A 3rd Party Mail Service
Good afternoon all. I am trying to send the contents of a Flash form to iContact, which is a 3rd party email management service. My form works fine when I write my own PHP script, but I can't get it to show up in iContact. There are fixed variables that I have to send onSubmit that tell iContact where to post, but one variable caught my eye. It is:

specialid:26395 = "ACQQ";

Because of the colon after "specialid", I can't send this as a variable in Flash. Has anyone tried to send a Flash form through a 3rd party service and have any insight? Or does anyone know how to get that variable with the colon to post onSubmit?

I was thinking worst case scenario I could pass everything into my own php script, then pass it into iContact from there, since it works in html. But I have never written a pass through script.

Any ideas would be helpful. My onSubmit code is below. Maybe I am missing something? Thanks in advance for your help.

Code:
on (release) {
if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == undefined || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid E-mail address";
}
else {
//copying the entered variables into the variable names required by iContact
fields_name = name;
fields_country = country;
fields_postcode = postcode;
fields_email = email;
fields_emailformat = emailformat;
listid = 26390; // below are the fixed variables required by iContact to recognize the account
specialid:26390 = "ACQQ"; //Flash won't let me pass this one
clientid = 202700;
formid = 2300;
reallistid = 1;
doubleopt = 1;
sc_project=3838100;
loadVariables ("http://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php", this, "POST");
EmailStatus = "Sending... Please wait";
}
}

Form Mail Issues/ PHp Data Send Question
I am building a back engineered PHP mailer for a form I am adding to a website I am trying to build. The actionscript goes like this:
on (release) {
if (name_txt.text eq "" or phone_txt.text eq "" or email_txt.text eq "" or academic eq "" or when eq "" or flat_txt.text eq "" or group_txt.text eq "" or question_txt.text eq "") { // I am using instance names for the text fields and referencing the contents by

stop();
} else {
lineAdapt();
mailVars = new LoadVars();
mailResults.onLoad = function() {
if (this.status == "mailSent") {
gotoAndStop("Quick App",2);
} else { stop();

}
};
mailVars.subject = title_txt.text, name_txt.text;
mailVars.message = name_txt.text, phone_txt.text, flat_txt.text, grou_txt.text, question_txt.text;
mailVars.from = email_txt.text;
mailVars.sendAndLoad("http://www.lightmode.com/Irving/mail.php", mailResults, "GET");

}
I don't think I have the syntax correct for sending more than one variable to the message area what should I use for mailVars.message =

instead of what I used which was commas, and obviously that didn't work...

Send Form E-mail Response Problem With Event.COMPLETE
Ok. Here is the problem.

I am sending e-mail from a flash form and asp, and the e-mail is sent with no problems, but I can not get the status. "Event.COMPLETE" only works locally.
How can I get a response if the e-mail was sent with no problem?

Thanks

Here is the code:

Code:

How Do I Pull Selected Date From The DateField Component & Send It To PHP Mail Form?
ok.. after searching and finding no luck.. or answers... i'm not too sure i'll get one either, but i figured i ask anyway...

I created a form, that has a DateField component in it, so basically a client can choose their desired deadline date for a project. When they complete the form, and hit send, the goal, is to have all the info they entered passed to PHP which will generate an email an send it along to me. The problem i'm having, is figuring out HOW to pull the date the user selects from the component, and pass it to PHP... any ideas?....

Quick side note:
I'm beginning to think that NO ONE EVER uses this component because after searching all over the web, and every Flash forum i know of... NO ONE seems to know how to do this...(which makes it pretty useless if you ask me) So what do people do to get information like this???

thanks in advance
