Professional :: Contact Form Not Allowing Certain Characters
Sep 14, 2010
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 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 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 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'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]....
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:
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 -
I think this can be really easy however i'm not reaching the answer of this question. i have text inputs .......and i want to restrict the input to only Numbers...mytextbox.restrict = "0-9"; now when i try entering the values it works fine.....but but.....i doesn't accept any special characters.and i want it to atleast accept '.' because i want to accept decimal values
1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..
in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..
I am really in trouble with flash forms and need help please. Ive been trying to get a contact form working for a few weeks but have had no luck.Below is the code I am putting in to the flash form and php file.(this is the code I have put for the send Button)
on (release) { if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") { stop(); } else { loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST"); gotoAndStop(2); }}
(this is the code I have put for the clear Button)
on (release) { name = ""; subject=""; message=""; email="";}
(And this is the php file i created in dreamweaver and saved it as form.php)
I created a simple web site in flash cs4 with a contact form, however, when I press submit, no email is sent even though my site says it was successfully sent.
Here is my actionscript and PHP:
function submit(e:MouseEvent):void{ var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); variables.fromname = nameText.text; variables.fromemail = emailText.text; variables.frommessage = messageText.text; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact.php"); req.data = variables; req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES; loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sent);
I have a request to create a contact form within one of our existing Flash sites, [URL] (password is "insight"). I can't use PHP because our server doesn't support it (long story, my company has very tight restrictions on what they'll support due to government guidelines on security online).
All the searches I've seen use PHP to accomplish this, so I'm hoping someone knows how to do this using JavaScript.
I followed Lee's contact form tutorial and was able to have a successful contact form work when I test movie in Flash. Once I uploaded the swf and html to my server, I can not get it to work online. Here is a link to the page in question... [URL]
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 am wondering if it is possible to create a contact form in AS3 without using PHP? The reason is because I am planning to create a co-op portfolio and host it on my university file space. The problem is that the university server doesn't support PHP, or other server side scripts

I am creating a contact form and I have completed the form in flash.How do I get flash to talk to php so that when a user clicks on the submit button it will send the data via php to an email account. Right now I have trace functions that are reading the input in flash. I just need to figure out how to communicate to php. It would be a bonus if I the input text can check to make sure the email is a valid email.
The contact form doesn't seem to sendI'm not sure where the problem is but i have tried to attach all the relevant files (i might of missed something). I don't even know where to start The email i'm trying to send to at the moment is redpandadesign@gmail.com but that will change to info@pedrovirgil.net once i have it working.

I have created a contact form with different areas of information available. I need to know how to make it work now. I want to be able to click the "submit" button and have it send the information supplied in the text boxes to my email address.
I am trying to write a contact form.It consists of Textfields.I am new to Actionscript so I createdthem by placing each field on a form in Frame 1 of a layer called data_fields.Because it is long I am just going to place part of it in the forum.If anyone can help and needs more information let me know.The very first thing I do is execute a function to init the fields.
