Re: FLASH: FormMail Problem

[Marc Pidoux]

Hi,


1. First try your script with a normal html form.


If it works, then create the form in flash using :


2. the TextTool with the TextField option unactivat to write the labels and

3. the TextTool with the TextField option activat to draw the rectangle to

recieve the input values.


4. Right Click on the first rectangle to change the properties and change the

name of the variable TextField1 to the name your script is expecting.

Do the same for all the fields.


5. Then create a button (which will look like the standar "submit button" of an

html form)


6. Insert the button on the same keyframe holding all the labels and the

rectangle.

7. Add to it and action which will be "get url..." or "load variable..."


That's it, it should work.


If you need more help ask again the list or send me directly:
