Professional :: Contact Form Not Accepting Certain Characters In Email Box
Jul 25, 2011
I am currently using a flash template from flashmo.com and i have installed it etc... The problem I have is that when you go to send a message in the contact form you cannot enter certain characters in the email box, especially the '@' symbol.
I added a contact form to a site, and the input fields aren't allowing numbers or certain letters. If I test the contact form swf by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I test it in the site, the problem occurs. I haven't got any other actionscript around the contact form, so am puzzled. The site is [URL] - the contact link is on the bottom left menu.
I just recently got Flash CS5 and am in process of customizing a templated flash website. I went in and as I was completing a mailto form I tested the movie and the text fields only accept the characters: 9, a, m, n, o, and u, and earlier when I was using it they began with one or two 9s already in each of the fields and would not let the user delete them without hitting the clear button. Also the delete button on the keyboard does not delete the text. You can see the current problem under www.bryantcoffey.com under the contacts page. I've also switched keyboards and that did not help (I am typing on the keyboard right now that isn't responding to the text fields.)
the source files work perfectly when I upload them to my server - but when I insert the form into my flash website - I am unable to receive the contact email at all. The problem must be with the flash file becuase I have not altered the php (except to send to my email)
I am using Flash CS3 (but publishing for action script2) I have double checked all my input field sare named correctly with var_names that match the php code. The form fields have been created as a moviclip named "form" and the following action script attached:
I'm using Flash CS3 with AS2 and have been trying to set up a basic contact form and nothing seems to work. I used this [Url]to create the AS code for the send button for my form + the php code as well from this Kirupa link.I'm being hosted by Godaddy with the linux server with the email being sent to...When I fill out the form and submit - nothing is recieved in my inbox.Having tested the forwarding from Godaddy to yahoo - does work!
I have tried about as many tutorials as I can find online 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"; [Code] .....
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; [Code] ......
The form is not sending a message to my email. I am not sure whether the problem is in the AS 3.0 code or the PHP code, anyway here's the code: Actionscript 3.0 code: function handCursor(e:MouseEvent):void { e.target.buttonMode=true; e.target.useHandCursor=true; } build variable name for the URL Variables loader var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables; [Code] .....
My flash contact form is set up correctly as well as my php file. I've tested the form in flash and on the web and it sends out an email. However when I check the email, all the fields are blank. The name, email address and message all appear blank when checking the email.
AS code Code: Select allstop(); var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
I've built a contact form for my website using a [URL] tutorial on building UI elements. The final step to the tutorial is putting all the elements together in a contact form, but for some reason they've left out the dropdown menu element, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to write that code. The problem is that the dropdown menu is designed such that it's a movieclip containing several other movieclips & actionscript (button, list, scrollbar, etc). I can get it to trace the selected information with this code inside the dropdown movieclip:
I followed the contact form tutorial and created my own "join mailing list" form, but I want it to send you a confirmation when you press send on the form.
I'm working in AS 2.0, Flash CS3. I want to make a contact form that allows a user to select the appropriate e-mail address from a combo box. I have made a working contact form that send to one e-mail address using PHP.
Here is the AS for it:
Code: var sendLoad = new LoadVars (); var receiveLoad = new LoadVars (); send_btn.onRelease=function () {
[Code]....
Now.. how do I make a Combobox that allows the user to select who to send their e-mail to? (all I want are 3 address)
i created this contact form in flash 8 and i get the email but an UNDEFINED message pops up on my status i cant get rid of it here is my action script for the submit button
I need to send a message from a Flash contact form to PHP. Do I need to encode characters like ' " < > & because of possible XSS attacks or something else?
I made a flash form to send variables by a php file for my mail..the fact is that when I receive the mail characters. This is what i have in flash: 1. Input textfields with several variables, and I already choose all kind of latin characters, and it isn't working! 2. The code for the send button is:
on (release) { if (!from.length || from.indexOf("@") == -1 || from.indexOf(".") == -1) { status = "Insere um email volido!"; } else if (!nome.length) { [Code] ..... And this is working! I still don't know if the problem is in flash or in the php file..
And this what I have in "mail.php3": <?php mail("xirika@hotmail.com", $subject, $message, "From: beAgency Reply-To: $from X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); ?> I already tried to save the php file in dreamweaver encoded in UTF-8 but it didin't worked, actually the mail never came!!
I am creating a website in flash CS4 and I made a contact form and when I test the site out, I can type and click the submit button, so everything is fine there but it doesn't go to anything. Now I know I need a code to tell the contact form where to go, but I can't find one that works, or I may be doing something wrong. I also have been reading about PHP but I am not sure what that is. I found a site that said to put this code in the actions panel.
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.
So I have built a contact form out of AS2 and PHP. PHP 5 is enabled on my server, so that's not a problem. I think there is a slight error within my code somewhere. What happens is once online, you fill out the form and hit post, it goes to the "error sending email!". Below is my code so you can take a look at it. I also have included below that a link to download the actual files.
have created a contact form that sends 3 lots of data (name, email and message) to my email address. here is my code for my flash form which looks right
I'm trying to add a contact form to the end of a video. I'm assuming this would be fairly simple with flash/AS, but I'm not incredibly accustomed to itI have some flash and AS experience, so I should be able to handle it. But I would love a quick tutorial to point me in the right direction.
I've been trying to import, embed, or load a contact form into a fla flash website (i have the fla and swf files) however i cant seen to get it to work.
I have a contact form on my site for which the text inputs are created via AS2. This works fine but I cannot get the tabbing to work (or even have any effect) no matter what I do. I have a menu that sometimes displays at the top, sometimes on the left and sometimes at the bottom. If it's at the top or bottom then the form tabbing works fine, however if it's down the side then when i tab from contact_namefield it goes to the 8th menu option, then the 9th menu option, then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield.Similarly if i tab from the top of the menu it's goes down sequentially to menu option 7, then to contact_namefield, then menu option 8, then menu option 9 then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield.
I cannot for the life of me work out how to change this, I would rather avoid setting tabenabled=false for every other element on the page (as i'd still like these to be tabbed), but either way I don't think this will fix it as the tabindexes i've specified seem to be having no affect at all, no matter what values i put in (even if i reverse them) the tab order is always exactly the same. I am using the following code and would be so grateful if anyone could point out what i'm doing wrong as I can't for the life of me figure it out!
var currfont=_root.textfont; var inputcol = "0x" + _root.textcolour;var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.bold = false;my_fmt.font = "Arial";my_fmt.color = inputcol;
I love Flash CS5 and working with the AS3 package yet I have done everything and now I am stuck at the most frustrating part - I want to add contact forms to my site and its now allowing me to add another form, brings up errors as follows:
Scene 1, Layer 'Action Script', Frame 291, Line 3 1021: Duplicate function definition. 1st Code that works fine send_details.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendData); function sendData(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{ trace (fullnames_txt.text); trace (email_txt.text); trace (contact_numbers_txt.text); trace (postage_details_txt.text); trace (message_txt.text); var [code]....
again (".)I've making this contact form on flash & i got the script for the action script but i'm unable to integrate a php script that would send the mail from my form.I'm using two input feilds with instance names as theEmail and theMessage Here is the action action script code i'm using -
