Flash :: Help With Email Function On VBulletin

[MX] Flash Interaction With PHP Inside VBulletin
I need some tips on how to do this. I am new to AS but i havea good knowledge of PHP so its easy to catch on.
What i am trying to do is when a user view a certain thread which has attachment in the first post ( a music attachment ) i want to replace that attachment with a flash player.

Now Most of that is done inside the vB theme options which i can do. But how would I do this: upon a user hitting play the player gets the postid from a phpfile then executes another file which retrieves the media file and sends the info back.

I know this is probably a questions to those certain someone's that have knowledge in both AS and vB. Sorry

Anybody can give me any tips?

PS: I did search and look through some code but i was not able to come up with anything that works.

Flash Calling Text From A VBulletin Page
I want to set up a flash file that will call information either from a vBulletin page, or from the database that the text is stored in.

What I am trying to do it to set up a News page on my main page. This news need to be automatically updated by a News forums in a vBulletin (mysql) page. From what I know about mysql I should be able to call information from the database that the text is stored in, and make it display in a flash file.

However I don't know the syntax, or the actionscript needed in order to do this.

I have also considered makeing this news page automatically sent each new topic to the database as well as a seperate .txt file. this way I could simply have flash call the text from that txt file, and it would always be up to date because each new topic made in the news section would send info to this text file.

any ideas on how to do this, or anyone who can help me in accomplishing either of these methods.

Flash Banner In Vbulletin Header Question/Options
Group,

I am using Vbulletin for my message board and I just added a flash animated banner to my boards header area. I have my banner working fine right now but what I am running into for problems is that with every link I click on and the page refreshes so does the banner and after awhile this is going to get really old considering there is animation and sound.

Does anyone know of a way that I can either place a cookie on my members computer that will stop the banner from repeating itself after so many views and then give them a text link to click on that will let them play the animated version of the banner? (I have a static and an animated version)

Or how about having the static version of the banner as the default view and then giving them a text link that says "Play Intro" or something like that?

Is there anyone here who can give me some good ideas on what is available that I can do with flash? Im freely open to suggestions, ideas, and code if anyone has anything.

Thanks much

Doug

[F8] Flash 8 - Email Form: How To Get Users Specified Email In From Portion Of Email
Hey guys,

I want to add a newsletter to my new website that people can add their email addresses to. First off, I would like to have a field that the user can type his email address in, and have that field check if the email is valid (ie make sure that there is an @something.something).

Next, I would like it to send an email to my email address, with their email address in the from portion of the email (basically as if they have emailed me directly from their email). This way, it will be very easy for me to add them to my mailing list.

Thanks a ton for any help... Ive been searching for a while on how to do this, but couldn't find a way to put the users email in the from portion of the email.

Email Forms That Send Email To Other Email Addresses
hello, well, I'm not sure who to ask about this problem. The thing is I really want to make an email form that can send email to other people. I have seen email feedback forms here that send email to my address but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me make one that sends email to other addresses. I have made an email feedback form already and its at http://www.jeviwebs.com/beatles/mail.swf if you want to view it. If any of you know of any tips, please email me or respond to my post here thanks! BTW, that feedback form was based on matthew summers tutorials here

it is in the send button where I have the problem

here is the action script for the action layer:

recipient = "";
targetpage = "http://www.jeviwebs.com/beatles/ecard.htm";
stop();

this works ok since you will specify the email address of the person to send email to (thus the blank recipient variable) but here is the main problem...the actionscript for the send button....since I want to send emails to other people, I can't use my cgi bin for that.

on (release) {
getURL("http://myaddress.com/cgi-sys/mailform.cgi", "lower", "POST");
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I know that there is a way through this...I can change and do actionscript if someone can help me out...thanks you guys

How would I send that one string to an email? Thanks ahead of time

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...

[MX04] Making An Email Button Go To Email Client
Good Day,

I have made a button on my website and would like it to do the following:

When pressed it would open the users email client and put my email address in the "TO" box so they can send an email to me.

Sounds simple but I can't work out how to make this happen.
Is there a better way to do this?

Can somebody help me with this?

Email Link On Swf Doesn't Work In Embeded Email, Why?
I am working on a swf file (sort of an ad) for email distribution purpose, the swf has an email link on it for potential clients to reply to us.

I upload the swf on our server, embed the swf into an email, and send the email off to do a test, the animation is playing fine, but there is a problem, when i click on the email link, I receive the following error message:

"Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

And then the Outlook is closed down.

But this problem only happens on NT system, as while i click the same link from my XP, it instantly open up a new reply message fine, anyone has come across this problem and knows how to get around with it, could you help?

Many many thanks

Flash PHP Email , Hide Formatting In End-user Email?
Hello and thanks for taking the time,

I built a Flash email sender, its very simple, it just sends all the variables in the fields, no cross checks or nothing.

Problem: here's what the end-user email looks like:

Subject: Message from <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Smiles</TEXTFORMAT>

Name : <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Smiles</TEXTFORMAT>

Email:

Comments: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Massage</TEXTFORMAT>

Here's my PHP code:

<?

$destination="jjmorga@gmail.com";
$name=$_POST['name'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$mes=$_POST['message'];
$subject="Message from $name" ;
$mes="Name : $name

Email: $email

Comments: $mes
";
mail($destination,$subject,$mes); ?>

To anyone that helps me tackle this pickle I bid you a million thanks

Email Form Sends Out Email 3 Times?
I am using the Web Service Connector to take text input on a form and email it from the website to the intended party. However, it sends the email out three times and I can't find where the error is. When I test the movie I get the following error: "Binding between <unknown>.. and <unknown>.params.emailFrom: The endpoint of the binding does not exist." It shows this error twice. So I am guessing the problem lies with these errors, which would give me three emails total.

Any ideas? I can't find any other instances of the WSC on the site?

Thanks,
Jim

Email Autoresponder That Includes Recipient's Name In Email
Hi--

I am trying to set up an email autoresponder in Flash MX that includes the recipient's name in the salutation of the email.

For example, if Bob Barker is at my site, I want to give him two boxes to fill in: one for his name (Bob) and the second for his email address. When he clicks the "ok" button, an autoresponder will send him an email that begins with, "Hi, Bob--etc." THEN, once he receives the email, if he answers it, I'd like ANOTHER autoresponse addressed to "Hi, Bob," but this time with a different message.

This must be pretty easy to do, but I have NO idea how. Can anyone direct me to a source on this? Or someone with the know-how?

Many, many thanks!

Flash Email Form -- No Content In Email
I realize that a similar question has been posted many times, but since I've been searching for an answer that works specifically for me for 2 long days, I feel I need to post.

Email Form Not Sending Email... Please Help
Hi all,

I have a flash-based mailer form that was working at one point, but now it won't send email to the specified account for some reason. The host says that it needs to be sent FROM a valid email address on their server, but I can't figure out where in the code I need to make that work...

Here's the code on my submit button:

Code:
on(release){
formValidation();
if(validForm == true){
form.loadVariables("../email.php", "POST");
}
}
Here's the code in my PHP file:

Code:
<?php
$sendTo = "mail@kavehmedia.com";
$subject = $_POST["subjectTxt"];

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["nameTxt"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["emailAddressTxt"] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["emailAddressTxt"];
$message = $_POST["messageTxt"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
What am I doing wrong? Since it was working when I first made it, I assume the host changed something on their end, but they're being very unhelpful...

Email Variables Through Email
I have what might seem like a simple question. However, I can't find the answer. I created a multiple choice test with 5 questions. Each answer is stored as a variable. q1, q2, q3, q4, q5. On the last screen I created a name text field for them to type their name. Now I want to create a submit button that will email me the value of all of the variables separately.

I can't figure out how to format the getURL message to email each variable to me. Here is what I've tried and I get "undefined" in my email body:

on (click) {
getURL("mailto:dsmith@help.com?subject=AEIOUsales" + "&body=" +employee +q1+q2+q3);
}

Please help me with my simple question...Show me an example of how this script should be formatted. Thanks in advance!

Function In A Function In A Function, A Scope Problem
Is this basic or what.. I have a nested functions, and I'm having a hell of a time getting all my variable through.

ActionScript Code:
var canyouseemee;
public function move()
{
for(var i:Number = 0; i < blah; i++)
{
zing, and then zang
if (zing==0)
{
guts
}
if (zang ==0)
{
something else
}
}
}

Now, I had always thought that since var canyouseemee is declared at the topmost layer, that I'd be able to see it from anywhere below it. Well, it turns out that I can only see it from within the move()function, and not anything below it. is this normal? I thought you couldn't see a local variable of a lower (deeper) function, but could see higher (shallower) variables...

Call A Function In A Duplicated Movie Clip Form Another Function : (
i have a movie clip on my root name "pl".
on command, it duplicates with instance name as "y0","y1", etc.

here is the method :

function callPL(transmit,receive,addy,level) {

var newName = "y"+_root.x;
duplicateMovieClip("_root.pl",newName,101);
_root[newName]._x = 400;
_root[newName]._y = 400;

_root.[newName].start(transmit,receive,addy,level); //look here
}

there i attempt to call a function of the newly duplicated clip call "start()".
Start() function is written on the first frame of the movieclip like this :

function start(a,b,address,level) {
a.sendAndLoad(address,b,"Post");

this.path = b;

b.onLoad=function(success) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}
}

however it seems like the function callPL() could not invoke function start() of the new movieClip.I have no idea how is it so.
Even when i trigger it with a onLoad handler it still doesnt work
pls shed some light.

Calling Constructor In Condition: A Function Call On A Non-function Was Attempted.
Hi guys,

Please help me somebody with this cos I have really no idea. I have made a simply condition calling a constructor of a class. Today I had to add an "else if", what caused the compilator to show me "A function call on a non-function was attempted."...

ActionScript Code:
function loadIt() { if (var1 == "1") { var a:SomeClass = new SomeClass(true); } else if(var2 == "1"){ var a:SomeClass = new SomeClass(false); //<- if this is not here, everything works fine } else { var b:SomeOtherClass = new SomeOtherClass(); b.init(); }}

Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

Filling Function Arguments With Array Items, Function.call()

Is it possible to call a function and fill in the parameters based on an array and it's lenth?

My Function Isn't Functioning/Actionscript To Call A Function Flash MX 2004
Hello,

Well in theory I know how to create a function but for some reason I am unable to call it.

Can someone take a look at it and tell me what went wrong. Basically when I go to "a certain page" I want to click on a button and have it go to another page known as "pics" it then will load a jpeg there known as jpeg loader. Now I know it works properly without a functin, but because I am lazy I do not want to write more code than I have to, there are like 300 differnt jpegs I have to load. Thus I need to create a function.

here is my AS

ActionScript Code:
//this is on frame one of my root timeline
//I am trying to call the function "display" on release of my button

omnihotelButton.onRelease = display ("J010 Omni Hotel.jpg");
