coldfusion flash integration: Hi there,

I have just started using coldfusion and flash forms for that matter. Just
wondering if someone can help me get my form working. I'm not sure if it will
even work using the current format or whether I need to use remoting, but here
it is anyway...
With <cfform name="form.tutor_request" included I don't receive an error but
the form is not displayed. With "name" ommitted the form is displayed but
won't send to my email address.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

much appreciated.

Hello,

First off the <cfform> tag does not require a name unless you plan on
using mullitple forms. You can take that out and add a hidden <cfinput>
tag named "tutor_request". Also using required="no" in the cfinput tags
is a little redundant because the default is for these form types is
already no. You can try something like this:

Hopefully this works for you. :)
