Flash :: Simple Forms To 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

Email Forms, Feedback Forms
I have posted the same topic on the other section but i thought perhaps this one would be more appropiate?

I need help with creating a feedback forms (name, phone nubmer, email, comments etc) in a flash site.

I have d/n a CGI script that comes with the tutorial in Flash Kit. and I also found a PHP scripts that i was told it should do the same thing.

I am new to BOTH, CGI or PHP whatever,
After i read the CGI mail form tutorial , it seems like i need to link the button to cgi-bin/whatever.cgi right? How about PHP? Questions is DO i just paste the PHP code in the action windows of flash MX or place the code in a html page that creates a seperate window?

What is easier for newbees like me and is there any easier approprach?

Email Forms
Hiyas, First time on this part of the forum. I have upto now been using swish 2.0 so i have a basic understanding of the way swf files work however I want to make an email form to add to my site and I know that at the moment swish just can't do that. I have Flash 5 and Flash MX and have been looking around at tutorials rearding this but all I seem to find is tutorials for Flash MX and "ASP CDONTS" which I know nothing about. Is it possible to make an email form in flash MX without "ASP CDONTS" and if so does anyone know any good places for tutorials or would anyone here be able to help me in this matter.

Email Forms Without PHP

Email Forms.
I have been trying to create an email feedback form in Flash MX, but I am failing miserably!!! I have tried most of the tutorial out there but am finding them to complicated. I need it to work with ASP. Can anyone help me? Could someone create a form showing 'name', 'address', 'phone number', 'email address' and 'enquiry', with all the relevant data and scripting for it to work through ASP?

I know it sounds as if I am being lazy, but I just can't get my head round it.

Any help at all would be grateful,

Many Thanks,

Email Forms
Hi, I followed the kirupa tutorial on making a flash email form, with php. If you go to http://www.ksd-design.co.uk/invoice/KSD.html and click contact, you can see it. But all the input text boxes, have something in, of which i dont understand, and when it emails to me, it doesnt send any of the information except whats in the enquiry box. Please can someone tell me where I have gone wrong...

Secondly, As the page loads you will see a load of text about the company. This is dynamic, but if you click profile, it only shows the first bit of that dynamic text, I have set it to multiline, the vvariable name is correct - because otherwise that first line wouldnt appear......

Please can someone help me

Thanks

Forms, Email And Flash
Howdy,

I'm running Flash 5 and I'm looking for a way to have the user fill out a form in a Flash swf on a web site and then have the answers emailed to an email address.

I'd want the email to be sent without the user having to access any email application. Is this a back end issue, asp/php etc or can I preform this operation using just Flash, HTML and JavaScript?

Any help is good help. Thank you in advance.

Email Contact Forms
I was wondering if someone can help explain to me the order of understanding email forms.

I had a programmer of mine do the runner and left me to deal with understanding how to configure the email address, as a designer i find it a little difficult to gather.

i've looked for codes, and they confuse me. Can someone please explain what steps i need to do (like a,b,c). I love the programming side and would like to know at least the basic's.

Please help freakin out!

Dynamic Email Forms
Hello I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. It is regards to email forms. Here is my dilema. I have (X) number of company members that I want to have a contact form on the website for. The problem I am having is that from what I have been reading online, Flash and PHP working together to create an email form, it seems that when the submit button is pressed it always send to a specific email that is setup in the PHP file. But I want that to be able to change that depending on which company member you are looking to send a form to.

I would prefer to have a drop down menu with each member name(which would populate their email address to the PHP file) and a couple of fields (for Name and Email and Comment) and then have a form sent to their specific email address, but I don't know if this is possible.

Please help if you can.

Thank You.

Email Forms And What Not.. Getting It To Submit
okay.. got the form as a film.. there are only 3 fields.. name, email and body.. the submit button (which is a graphic/movie clip) has the following script attached to it:

on (release) {

//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this.gotoAndPlay("4");
form.loadVariables("SendMail.asp", "POST");

//End Behavior

}

So.. when I upload it to the server and fire it up.. and press submit nothing happens at all.

question:

a) what am i missing? (by the way, I am not getting any emails)

b)how do you get it to return values to know the email is submitted. the sendmail.asp has the traditional redirect x if everything is okay and y if there is somthing wrong.

HELP!

Flash Email Forms And Attachements
I've created a nice email form in Flash that sends variables to a .cgi
script.
The variables get delivered just fine to the designated email recipient
(cf. _F5B_, Chapter 24, pp. 696ff.).

Is there any way (or better, publically accessible example) of how to
also script the movie to:

1. Take a screenshot of the current Flash movie, and
2. Attach that screenshot to the email post that is being sent via the
Flash form?

I realize that the screenshot might also have to be scripted so that the

graphic is saved, say, to the desktop.

Thanks very much for any assistance.

Check Boxes In Php Email Forms
I am putting together a flash email response form in my site using flash/php. Thanks to flashkit it is working and I have emails coming in off it. I am now trying to add a checkbox to the flashform. I have used the component one in flash, given it a name (sendinfocheck)and then in my php file I have added the following to my $emailbody code...

Sender Wants More Info: $sendinfocheck
"

this mimicks the working input text var name based stuff that is currently working in the form/code.

Is there another bit of code I need to put in?
I haven't been able to give the checkbox component a variable name because flash doesn't offer the option...

Thanks a lot for any help

[MX] Forms, Email, Asp And The Submit Button
For some reason I can't get anything to work right. I have my form set up correctly... and as far as I can tell the actionscript is correct too... and I'm fairly sure the asp is as well. But I'm at a loss as to what exactly is wrong. What are the key things that are needed in both the action script and the asp.
I have some Input text boxes and a couple of combo boxes and a couple of radio boxes as well. Please... any help or direction to where I could get more help would be great.

thanks.

Flash, Forms, Email, CGI, And Tripod
Hi everyone,
My server for my website is thru Tripod.com (inexpensive). Im in the middle of creating a form/email that can be filled out thru my Flash (MX 2004) site and sent to my cgi bin, to then be emailed to a default email address.

Im so terribly lost. Ive found some info online about creating email forms in Flash but Tripod is kinda (how can I say this?) backasswards with their cgi. I am a TOTAL beginner when it comes to cgi script (for all I know Im using the term incorrectly). Is there any simple way to get this up & functioning without having to learn everything there is about cgi? My classmate told me Tripod uses their own bizzarre cgi scripts, which makes me feel a little hopeless when searching for instructions/tutorials...

If anyone is a tripod guru AND a flash guru, id SO greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,
kristin

Email Forms & PHP - External SWFs
[So I've already spent a good hour reading the previous posts on this subject but there are only two that begin to give all the information needed. And those usually end with someone giving a link to an .fla that is no longer there.]

My problem is similar to others before me. I am creating a contact page with a flash-to-PHP mail form. I am basing most of my work on this contact page from a tutorial on the Kirupa website

Kirupa Flash-PHP mail tutorial

While the tutorial is great and all, I found that it supposedly only works when the swf is loaded directly into a seperate html page and not loaded into another swf as an external swf. (Part of the reason I know is from a post on this site and that when I tested the final movie, it wouldn't give me the confirmation screen. Actually even when I tested the swf loaded directly onto an html page it did give me a confirmation but didn't send an email.)

So my problem is that I dont know what Im doing wrong with the Kirupa tutorial and that I havent been able to find another that deals with the issues of loading the contact page as an external swf.

I will post the AS and PHP code if necessary. Can anyone help?

Spanks.

RadioButtons/checkBoxes In Email Forms
I have been pulling my hair out on this one for over a week and it's killing me! I have run through 20 tutorials on mx04 pro v2 components and can get the radio and checkbox to pass a variable to a movie clip/dynamic text field, but they never carry over in to a php form mailer. Does anyone have any ideas or examples of a functioning php mail form that uses a radio button and a check box? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Forms In Flash Submiting Results Through Email
Ok, so heres what im trying to do

I know how to make a basic form but not how to attach files or have the results go to an email address. Any ideas?

Sending Forms In Flash To Email Account

(still) FLASH 4 Email Validation In Forms Help Needed
Of course i know it would be much simpler to copy and paste a finished action script into a Flash MX forms action button, but i no longer have MX, always preferred that ol Flash 4.

The issue i have with my HTML contact forms is that there is a new generation of script hijackers at it and they bother me big time, so i want to change to contact forms in flash to never give them a chance to know the scripts name or location on the server.

I got the form and no problem there, i got scripts, no problem there, i got input validation to everything - but something intelligent for the email form field.........

I saw some posts on this (i searched already through this and other forums) but most are for other Flash versions or i do not undertsand them.....

here is my actionscript so far:
On (Release)
If (FirstName eq "")
Go to and Stop (2)
Else If (Email eq "")
Go to and Stop (3)
Else If (ToSubject eq "")
Go to and Stop (4)
Else If (Description eq "")
Go to and Stop (5)
Else If (ToComments eq "")
Go to and Stop (6)
Else
Load Variables ("http://useroo.com/advertisement/12php/0MailPHP.php", 1, vars=POST)
Go to and Stop (7)
End If
End On

This just checks if anything is in the email box, but it should check for the @, the . and perhaps a number of letters as well.

Anyone still in the knowing on how to do this??????

Hard Returns In AS Text Fields > Email Forms
Does anyone know how to get email forms whose content is made up of various Flash Text Fields to recognise AS hard returns? (
,
,
don’t work.)

I other words, the email form doesn’t look anything like it should. All lines run into each other with no returns where they were in the original AS.

How Do You Make Email Type Forms Inside Of Flash?
Please post! and may your post actually help too, please..!

“ ” Syntax In Flash Text Fields > Email Forms
So, here’s the code:

this.sendButton.onRelease = function() {

var subject:String = "Appointment Request";

var cr:String = "
" +" "; // “cr” = “Carriage Return” plus “tab”.

var body:String = "Appointment Details" + cr + cr +
"Client Name: " + _root.textFields.userName.text + cr +
"Client Email Address: " + _root.textFields.userEmail.text + cr +
"Client Contact Phone: " + _root.textFields.userPhone.text + cr +
"Preferred Date: " + _root.textFields.userDate.text + cr +
"Preferred Time: " + _root.textFields.userTime.text;

var s:String = "mailto:appointments@sorepoint.com.au?subject= " + subject + "&body=" + body;

getURL(s, "_self", "GET");
}

Now, here’s the problem: The resulting email form will not recognize the “
” syntax. It simply puts the contents of all the text fields on one line.

Tested on Mac OSX 10.4.5, Mail 2.0.7 as well as Windows machines. Same result for both. I’m using Flash8Pro and AS 2.

I have already tried using <br> and
and all the other options I can find with Google. No difference.

Others I have asked have had the same problem, but no-one has an answer. There must be someone who has found the solution somewhere on planet Earth!

Here’s the link to see the problem in situ: http://www.sorepoint.com.au

Appreciate wisdom (and wit) from any sagacious and perspicacious souls.

Simple Forms
I am only a beginner so i dont know, but can i make a form in flash that users can type into and then send it directly to my email account with out the use of C.G.I
Obviously components would come into it somewhere.

This Should Be A Simple On (more On Forms...)
Flash MX 2004 Professional (latest update applied)

I'm sure all you gurus out there are absolutely sick of reading flash form questions ... probably just as sick as I am of reading tutorials that I just can't get to work.

I am redesigning my new site completely in Flash (with an html-based sidekick site for dialup users). On the html site, I can easily get the small form to work - not so much luck in flash. I need to be able to pass form data (just a text input and combo box along with 2 static 'variables') to a php script and I simply cannot get it to work. This is a simple domain registration form. Nothing fancy, no validation ... The required elements (per html) are:

<form method="post" action="https://domain.com/billing/order/orderwiz.php">

// -------my two static entries that need to be passed------- \
<input type="hidden" name="v" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="submit_domain" value="register">

// -------domain name from user input (text input)------- \
<input type="text" name="domain" value="">

// -------my combo box options------- \
<select name="tld_extension">
<option value="com">.com</option>
<option value="net">.net</option>
<option value="org">.org</option>
<option value="info">.info</option>
<option value="biz">.biz</option>
<option value="us">.us</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!">
</form>

I would like this to send the user and his variables to the php page. I would post what I have tried, but I would like to see a fresh start on this instead of trying to fix my poorly written code. Find the format that I have been working with below (all previous AS stripped out) (please keep reponses simple and stupid - kinda the way I feel right now ) Your help is greatly appreciated
