I have a contact form in flash and when user clicks on a button after filling the form, I want to draft an email. When I am trying to push a '%' character in the message body its not appearing. Either it replaces % with some junk values OR no message body s passed altogather. I have attached my FLA here for reference.

How do you post code within the body of a message, so that it is formatted and set apart from regular text. I haven't seen where this is listed in FAQ.
View 5 RepliesI'm making a shooter. Whenever my bullet starts flying and I move my character the bullet keeps moving with it. The rotating gun is in the body movieclip layer so it follows the body around and I can move the gun is there anyway to disconnect the bullet from also moving around with the body ?
Code:
stage.frameRate = 30;
var angle:Number = 0;
var radiansToDegrees:Number = 180/Math.PI;
var degreesToRadians:Number = Math.PI/180;
var currentGeweer_mcRotation:Number;
var Bullet_mcHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(Bullet_mcHolder);

View 5 RepliesI can not get the @ character to show up in an input textfiled within my flash contact formNow here's the weird bit, at least to me. This only happens when the flash movie is viewed in Firefox/chrome browsers, Internet explorer works fine and you can use and see the @ character fine.I have searched for similar topics, tried all available embed options including embed all. I have even tried putting a static textfield on the stage to with the @ character in it so that it used in the movie that way too. Still nothing.
View 6 RepliesI've created some error handling for external images loaded via a path in XML. Within the Flash preview it's fine and shows the full error message (and most importantly, the URL that isn't loading).
But in the browser, even locally, it doesn't out put this message!
Here's my code:
function loadIOError(event:IOErrorEvent){
errorLog+=event.text+'

View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know the regular expression to test if a single string character has both upper and lower case character?
eg. All A-Z and a-z.
i was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.
View 2 RepliesI have been able to get the mailto protocol to work in an IPAQ with Win Mobile 5 and FlashLite 2.1. I'm using AS 2. GetURL(url.........) However, I can't figure out how to add a variable into the body. The variable, deviceID, is gotten onLoad by fscommand2, status = fscommand2("GetDeviceID", "deviceID"), so deviceID is populated by a value.The challenge would be to write a 'mailto' script that includes the deviceID in the email's body. I've tried several scripts for adding deviceID, but none work.For example: GetURL("url....) creates an error (too many "?) and using parentheses does not help. GetURL("url.....?) also doesn't add the value of the deviceID variable, just puts <deviceID> into the message's body.Is this possible: populating the email message's body with the values of one or more variables?

View 1 RepliesI am stumped on a problem that I've been searching the forums for, but can't seem to find an answer to. I was hoping a Flash genius here might have an idea. I'm working on a site in which I'm having issues with a mailto button. Here's the deal. The site shows up in "two" places (although they both pull from the same .swf files) [URL] and [URL] The site is built using Actionscript 2.0 and publishes for Flash Player 6. I'm using both CS3 and CS4 (depending on what computer I'm working on) but always publish for CS3.
On the www location, the mailto button works properly and opens up an email. On the http:// location the button does NOT work, and will not open an email. These buttons can be found in the "who" section - when the user clicks on a profile it opens a new window with a headshot - which are the "buttons" in question. I've done tests on the server, nesting buttons inside multiple movie clips to re-create the scenario. And they work. And I've also changed the button to a movie clip using:

Is it possible to add a attachment to a mail with the mailto function in actionscript 3? Thats the thing, i want to open the default mail program compose window with some data but i also need to add a file as attachment, and that file must be a screen capture of the app.

Looks like the attachment=path/to/file dont work anymore in new email clients, i think it worked until outlook 97 then it was removed for security reasons and so now is imposible to do this anymore.
How to execute a "mailto" from a Flash projector? (in a basic .swf I use a navigateToURL() + URLRequest(), but this in projector doesn't work).
View 1 RepliesI want to send an email with special characters (like cyrillic) from a swf. To make sure it will be displayed correctly in the mail client, I use
encodeURI()
It works fine in Apple Mail, but in Outlook I only see gibberish. I learned that Outlook uses iso-8859-1 for "mailto:"-mails (at least by default). So two questions arise:
is there a way to encode the mailto: string in iso-8859-1? would this break the correct display of characters in other mail clients?
I am sure that the second question can not have a definitive answer, nevertheless I would be thankful for any advise.
EDIT: unfortunately, html email and php is not an option for me.
i have a file that I am trying to allow users to modify their course name and the mailto content. I wanted to provide them with one easy to edit document, either a txt file or xml. I assume I can't use a txt file since I need a link, but possible I am wrong? I was also trying to use css, but I have not tackled that yet.
Right now the text is inside of the actionscript.
I need to change the text and the link. I've attached my file to see if anyone has any pointers?
I am loading contact information from external txt files and everything is functioning, except my email links. The CSS hover effects work, but when clicked an email message will not open and the mouse doesn't turn into the little hand like it typically does over a link. I don't believe I changed my code at all, and these links did work previously, so I have no idea what I've done. And the code needs to be in the txt files, not in flash actionscript (there are lots of contacts I'm entering).
The following is what is in the txt files.
<a href="mailto:someonesemail@email.com">someonesemai l@email.com</a>
How I can get this html formatted text to display correctly in the body of an email, when I am using mailto:? I am trying to avoid using a PHP aggregate, so I can use the mailto: and have it open the users email program directly. Here is what my code looks like, with the style of string that my client would like to use to populate the body of the email .
Code:
public function handleEmailClick(e) { ......
var emailVar = "mailto:"+""+"?subject="+emailSubject+"&body="+big String;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(emailVar);
navigateToURL(request);
}
I've followed the tutorial on importing data from an external text file into flash but I need to make the email address active.As per the tutorial the actionscript in the flash file is:

Currently, mailto will close out the flash site and navigate to a browser-based email client. What I'd like it to do is open a new window which it would use to open the email client, instead of using the same window (which closes out the flash site to open the email client).
I tried:
getURL("mailto:emailAddy", "_blank");
