View 2 Replieshow to send emails via actionscript 3 and php? I actually found a tutorial on very site but it seems a bit outdated.
View 1 RepliesOn a website I am constructing (search for World Tutors .net on Google and then click Test page next to Webmail at the bottom) I have a contact form with various parts for the user to fill in (some text input boxes, and some COMBO boxes). Having looked on various forums, I thought I undstood how to make the Flash Actionscript 2.0 talk to the php script to send the email (i.e. pass on variables etc.) When the user completes the Client enqiry form and clicks the send button, it looks as though the message has been sent, but no email ever arrives. I've pasted the code I have below.
ActionScript 2.0 code:
stop();
error_clip._alpha = 0;
[code]....
I want the end user to have the ability to contact me directly from my website via email. When I test my button to pull up my email provided nothing happen. The button works but???? this.cont_btn.onRelease = function(){ getURL("[URL]");};

View 3 RepliesMy company emails our Flash EXE files out to customers. Most of these Flash files use keyboard events to navigate through them, and they load external SWF and video files. So, obviously, I have to package all of my movie files, SWF, and the main EXE into the same folder. In the past, they have simply Zipped the file, emailed it out, and told them which file to open. Sadly, even this is too complicated for some people. I need to simplify the process.
I am trying to find a way to take the entire folder and bundle it into a single EXE file. Also, I need to find a permanent solution for opening the main Flash EXE file in a MAXIMIZED window. I don't mean fullscreen. I mean MAXIMIZED. In fullscreen, keyboard events don't work. But, they do in a Maximized window.
i know the question has been posted before, but i can't seem to stop incoming emails from differentsections of the forum (1 seciton is the ACTION SCTIPT 3)Under email notifications, i currently see "recieve email notifications". I should see that and leave it that way, right?

View 0 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 3 Repliesi need to activate and the script i wanna add to it is the mailto script so that when ppl click it their mail box ccomes out and etc. now when i add it it doesnt work, it stays still like nothing was added. the code i placed on the button was was the getURL ("mailto:soandso@wherever.whatever"); and it for some reason doesnt work, now when i remove the mailtoscript and add an actual websites adress it works fine
View 1 RepliesI am wanting a mailto button in Flash MX which I can get to work nicely except that I need to specify either the return email address (ideal) or which email account to use. The reason for this is have have 5 email accounts running, and the default is not the one I want Flash to use.

e_address = "kebabs@kebabs.com"
e_subject = "kebabs"

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.

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:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data2.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[code]......
I know this is basic but I don't know how. So how do I direct user to use 'mailto: name@email.com' using a button?
button.onPress = function() {
...code here...
}
how can i make mailto button in flash?
