Php Email Tutorial
I'm having a few problems with the php tutorial. I've got all the actions in my main timeline and calling them using instances. I have a mc called formset with an instance of formset in which is another mc called form with an instance of form which on the mc has the following code -
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.formset.nextFrame();
}
I have a submit and back buttons with the following syntax -
formset.submit.submitbutton.onRelease = function(){
this.formset.form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}
formset.back.backbutton.onRelease = function(){
this.formset.prevFrame();
}
I've a feeling I'm calling the timelines wrong with the root handlers etc. Only being doing flash for about 6 months and I can't really figure out exactly what wrong. Can anyone shine a little light on this problem please.

Email Form Tutorial
just finished the Email form tute at kirupa. instructions a bit vague. any tips much appreciated:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm
we are told
Quote:
So on the form movieclip we can add the script that checks for that. When the event runs, we can then go to the next frame showing the thank you screen.
onClipEvent(data){ _root.nextFrame();}
trouble is im not sure where to place this code. i tried putting it in the actions layer but that just caused the form to jump from one frame to the other.
naturally this is a form within a .fla, which i will try to include here. thankyou.
(has anyone ever tried this tutorial before ??)
the form i have done is named form. and lies within photo_mc

Email Check In PHP Tutorial
Dear all, I'm using the php/email tutorial found on this site and it works fine. However, I would like to add a check for a valid (at least containing '@') email address. How do I integrate this into the very simple php script? The script taken of the tutorial is:
PHP Code:
<?php/*************************************************** * PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more * information on the mail() function for PHP, see * http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php***************************************************/// First, set up some variables to serve you in// getting an email. This includes the email this is// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.$sendTo = "me@me.com";$subject = "Email from a web visitor";// variables are sent to this PHP page through// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array// of variables passed through this method. From that, we// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used// in the PHP mail() function.// header information not including sendTo and Subject// these all go in one variable. First, include From:$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">
";// next include a replyto$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "
";// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to// domains other than their own. The return path here will// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could send// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may vary)// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the return-path email$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable$message = $_POST["message"];// once the variables have been defined, they can be included// in the mail function call which will send you an emailmail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);?>

Components And Email Form Tutorial?
Hi,
After hours of searching and playing around with various tutorials, Im not having much luck, and am getting quite frustrated.
I have a simple form with a name input field, a dropdown combo box, and a main enquiry box with scrollbar. These are all components (I dont want to use a regular input box, as I want to keep the form looking consistent). Then I want this to email using a php file.
Are there any tutorials that explain how to do EXACTLY these things? All the tutes Ive seen so far seem to have some of these things, but not all.
Thanks

I am trying to add a few more fields to the php email tutorial, but I am not having luck getting the php script to work with the new data - this is how I tried to do my php script:

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

$address = $_POST["address"];
$city = $_POST["city"];
$state = $_POST["state"];
$zip = $_POST["zip"];
$phone = $_POST["phone"];
$joblocation = $_POST["joblocation"];
$message = ($comments, $company, $address, $city, $state, $zip, $phone, $joblocation);
mail($sendTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
I tried to change the $message to $body as I saw in another example with no luck.

Kirupa's Flash/PHP Email Form Tutorial
I was trying out Kirupa's Flash/PHP email form tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm
However.. the tutorial uses input text fields. Ech textfield has a 'var:' in the property inspector where I am supposed to name each field in order to send the input to EMAIL.PHP.
Now I would like to make the same form, but using Flash MX 2004 built-in components instead of the standard input text fields. How do I make it work so that the input in each field is sent to the PHP file? I can't find the 'var' option anywhere in the component inspector nor in the properties.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm a complete newbie at Flash and Actionscript, so please help me out.

[F8 AS2] Email Flash Form W/checkboxes In ScrollPane Example/Tutorial Request
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a tutorial or working example involving a email flash form, which uses:
a scrollpane - which houses an indefinite number of checkboxesan input field for emailan input field for name
...and the form uses PHP.
[Brief overview - I have a page that provides a listing of companies. There are several hundred, so I placed them in a scrollpane. Each company has a checkbox next to it. When a user selects a company - they can select more than one - types in there name and email address, the form should send the information associated with the checked boxes to the designated email address.]
I'm able to put all the elements together, and get them working fine. However, I'm stuck at the form level - trying to retrieve the checkbox information, as well as determining which checkboxes are checked. I'm using this as a base example to work from: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm.
In particular, I'm having a problem calling a variable from the 1st frame of the swf from within the form movieclip, so that I can load that and pass it to email. Just that information alone would be a great help.
Thanks.
- Stephen

Question About Email Form Tutorial & Adding HTML Page In Flash?
Hello Im posting questions in here again -_-
Anyway, Ive read Jeffery's Email Form tutorial (the one that has CGI, PHP and ASP in it) My hosting service does not support PHP, however it does support CGI and ASP.
So Ive sent an email and asking my server where is the shebang line for perl and also where is SMTPsvg.Mailer(for ASP just in case CGI does not work) and here is their answer:
Q: What is the correct shebang path for perl? is it #!/usr/bin/perl ?
A: If you are asking for the path for perl, it is c:perlperl5.00503.exe
Q: Do you have "SMTPsvg.Mailer"????
No. We use blat to send mail. The path is c:lat182blat.exe
Now Im wondering If the path they told me is going to work?? because it seems like the path is to a local machine ?!?!?
Also How to I add a html page in flash?? NOT LINK but its like adding it inside flash so you'll see the actually HTML page inside the flash movie??
Please help!! Thank you so much

[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

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...

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?

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,

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...

To The Tutorial Writing Staff: XML Portfolio Tutorial
Hi guys!
I'm a basic actionscript user which knows the basics of xml and actionscript. I've been seaching for a tutorial for a long time now how to make a portfolio which is dynamic and loads info from an external .xml file.
Since i couldn't find any tutorial like this i've tryed to make my own script out from this xml file:
Code:
<portfolio thumburl="thumbs/" imgurl="images/">
<project hdline="my first project" client="none" date="2007-01-02" category="website" weburl="http://website.com">
<image url="image1.jpg"/>
<image url="image2.jpg"/>
<image url="image3.jpg"/>
<description><![CDATA[This describes my first project]]></description>
</project>
</portfolio>
I have hade in mind that you should see a bunch of thumbnails first in a table format (like 6 cols and 3 rows) on each page, then you should be able to select page with next and prev buttons. When you press on a thumnail a box with the bigger image shuld pop-up and you should be able to read the other information in the xml file (such as client, date etc etc).
I've tryed to make this but it's to advanced. And my version is very buggy, aswell.
Here is what i've done sofar:
www.vmgcomputers.com/xml/portfolio3.swf
I don't know if this helps but here is a "multiple loader" i found:
http://www.johnnyslack.com/content/d...der_jslack.zip
I think there are many guys who are looking for a tutorial about this so please consider to make one, all professionals out there!

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!

I think my problem is a little more complex than what i thought it would be. Anyway, I'm trying to set up Flash to do a email to alot of people for comments. Well i got it to work for about 10 addresses, but after that it doesn't like anymore. is there another way i can do this? would a "comments" type page work better? if so how can i get flash to do the background work for it, with out openning email up.
