Hello,

I am used to creating forms in html which is why I think I am having such a problem. When I
create a form with name, email, phone, etc. how do a setup the command to send the results to an email?
And how will it know what information to send? I'm used to it all being within a coded area so it
automatically knows. I've checked numerous samples and tried researching but I'm having problems on
the last step to get the information sent to an email. Do I need another file such as perl or cgi?
I am using Flash MX. (Then of course I'll want a reply form :o)

Thanks in advance,
MonaE

Hi Mona,

Attached in the contactinfo1.zip file are the two files you will need: contactinfo1.fla and mailform.php.

In your flash doc, make a Contact button. The contact button should have the following code:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("contactinfo1.swf", 1);
}

Create a folder on your web site called myPhp, into which you will upload the attached mailform.php file.

Customize the mailform.php (your email address, your web site address, your web site name, what you want to see when you receive your email, and what you want your visitors to see when they receive their emails).

In the contact1.fla, you need to customize the first line of the actionscript to:
mailform = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/myphp/mailform.php

Upload the mailform.php into the new directory (myphp), and upload the published flash movie at the root.

If you want, you can check out my web site to see how it works (click the feedback link on the Home page).

I modified the contactinfo1.swf, which I received from Jack (in the UK). Don't know how to get a phone # in, but it allows for Name, Email address, and comments.

Good luck!

Ann
