I don't know if this is too much to ask but could someone give me a quick overview on how to create an email form that actually sends the information to my email? I have the form created, and I'll post the .fla file (I allow a laugh at my elementary flash movie. This is just a final project for an intro to flash class), and I understand I'll need the .asp file from GoDaddy setup on my hosted space.
View 3 RepliesI have used the kirupa tutorial on a flash email form and it works GREAT! The only thing is I want to have required fields that need to be entered in for the form to send. If the user doesn't enter anything, it will ask them to in order to send the email.how I can do this or adapt it to the kirupa tutorial code?
View 1 RepliesI've created a form in flash to for customers to send email from the website. I'm using action script 3 - (mailto: ) There are two problems.
1) It doesn't send. A blank email form comes up that the user has to fill out - doesn't work with their email client.
2) How can I get it to validate?
ActionScript Code:
// set default text of boxes - currently blank
name_txt.text = email_txt.text = subject_txt.text = message_txt.text = " ";

I believe my problem lies within the email_data var. And I believe the problem is the "&" that has to be there. If I take it out I dont receive the information placed inside the corresponding input text fields.

View 1 RepliesHow to create a contact form within my flash that emails me when someone fills out the forms, including a very good step by step at VTC. What I have found is that most of these tutorials start with the assumption that you're creating the contact form on a blank flash canvas, which is reality, is not always the case. So while I am sometimes able to get the forms to work if I do it on a brand new Flash movie, the moment I try to recreate the form within my current flash file, it stops working. I have mostly tried to recreate the contact form as a seperate movie within my flash file on it's own layer and have tried placing the Submit button within the contact form movie and also outside of it - neither works of course. Using CS3 btw.
Here's the info:
So according the image, my contact form is called "mcForm" which is a movie clip within the larger .fla on its own layer. The actions that are associated with the 1st frame in the "actions" layer above are as the following:
Here is the code itself repasted:
stop();
var gatherForm:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//Send form function
function sendForm():Void{
gatherForm.receipient = "my@email.com";

I am using one of the Adobe cookbooks to create an email form for my flash website. I am SO close to getting this rightI used the AS3 code below as well as the PHP code below in order to create the email form. Everything seems to be working fine, that is until I try to send an email using the form. When I input all of the text into the form, I get the actionscript default warning I wrote that states "Oh no! Something is wrong! Try again..." Hence the email will not send. What could be wrong with the script?Or does it matter where I file the PHP file, my swf file, html file, and my fla file? I tried several combinations of filing everything together, seperate,

I have found a bunch of AS3 tutorials on making flash email forms with PHP. Is there anyway I can make this work from a CD or a user's desktop? about 99.9% of the projects we make are meant to be viewed from a CD, and I can't make any of the samples work from a CD (or my desktop).
View 2 RepliesI have been looking at tutorials for adding an email form to the flash site that I am building. Everything on it works including receiving the email. The problem is that none of the information inputted into the form shows up in the emails I receive.

View 4 RepliesI have tried following the tutorial for building a Flash webpage email contact form using Actionscript 2.0 and the PHP script written in Dreamweaver to process the website visitor's information.When I receive the inbound email message in my inbox, it only contains the "Name: ", "Email: ", and "Message: " titles that I wrote into the PHP script followed by nothing. The actual visitor's info and text that was entered into the text inputs and text fields on the Flash webpage is missing.I have a button symbol instance named "sender" on the root timeline. When clicking that to send the email, Flash does not make use of the Boolean value returned in the echo PHP function of the variable $sentOk to move the Flash movie timeline to either the success or failed messages on those respective frames of the timeline. The movie just stays on the current frame which is all of the form objects and the "sender" button.[code]My GoDaddy web hosting account ( on a Linux server ) has assured me that PHP is allowed to run on my remote web domain. Does anyone in the Forum, any of the moderators, know of why I am not receiving the same email results that Lee demonstrates in the PHP Email tutorial?

Basically I've created a simple flash form which is linked to a PHP processor to email to a client. I have both simple text input fields, and the ComboBox and DateSelector components from the flash CS3 menu.
Inputs from the text fields work fine and appear in the emailed form, I have set the var fields on these. However the ComboBox and DateSelector inputs don't appear, and i cant figure out how to set the var fields on these. How do you get the text/whatever is chosen from these components to actually appear in the emailed php form!?
Send button action:
onClipEvent (load)
{
this.t.v = _root.contacts_txt9;

I email the info to my gmail address (also tried my hotmail in case) and it comes up with this sorta stuff
Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="15" COLOR="#17130A" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Sococs</FONT></P >
[code].....
I had to put the entire "form" and the buttons in a movieclip itself, that lets the form and the other text "fade in". The problem itself happens when the fading in occurs : The movieclip that holds the form starts blinking between the form and the thank you page for as long as the parent movieclip is playing the fade in. When the fade in stops (stop on parent movieclip) the blinking stops. I don't know how this is possible as the first action in the form movieclip is 'stop()'

I am having some issues with a php email form that I am using in my AS3 project. the form works perfect and all communication is good.however when the user is on the page and wants to tab to the next text field it jumps to one of my hyperlinks on the same page and not to the next text field down on the php form.
is there any way to stop this from happening.I have tried placing the php form on a seperate layer in a seperate mc and I have done the same with the hyperlinks .you can see what I mean by visiting this development site.(after entering go to contact)http:[url].....
When submit is clicked. It just says waiting for server connection. The email is never sent. I think the problem is with the php.
Here is my ACS3 code
PHP Code:
// Set text formatting colors for errors, waiting..., and success mechanisms
var errorsFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
errorsFormat.color = 0xffffff;
var waitingFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
waitingFormat.color = 0xffffff;

I'm trying to adjust "Senocular" email contact form to work inside a movie clip.http[url]....I placed it in the MC, changed the target path where it applies in the action script and for the most part it works. I'm able to receive emails from the form.However, i am not able to receive any of the typed information. Instead, i get "< >" in the email where content should be. It seams that the text field variable are not being passed off to the PHP script. The form works fine when not inside a MC and i haven't touched the PHP, only the target path?
