flash actionscript: Does anyone have a sample script of how to send radio button info variables to
a simple PHP script that will email me the results? I can get it to work with
input text boxes, but not with radio buttons. Just need a sample of what the
code on the submit button would look like. No validation is needed. I have a
survey that uses radio buttons, and I can't get it to send the results to the
PHP that emails me the results. Thanks.

for groupName equal to radioGroup you can use:



lo = new Object();
lv = new LoadVars();
lo.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
lv.radioGroup = evt_obj.target.selection.data; // or use what ever
lv.variableName you want
};
radioGroup.addEventListener("click", lo);
submitBtn.onPress = function() {
lv.send("yourPHP.php", "POST");
};

Thanks! I will try that. Will this script work unchanged for input text boxes
as well? Like if I had both radio and input boxes in the same survey. And, do
I have to list all the radio groups in the survey? Like:


lo = new Object();
lv = new LoadVars();
lo.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
lv.radioGroup = evt_obj.target.selection.data;
lv.radioGroup2= evt_obj.target.selection.data;
lv.radioGroup3 = evt_obj.target.selection.data;
lv.radioGroup4= evt_obj.target.selection.data;
};
radioGroup.addEventListener("click", lo);
submitBtn.onPress = function() {
lv.send("yourPHP.php", "POST");
};

you need to assign lo to be the listener for those other radioGroups and you
need to assign variables and values to your input textfields, too.

if you need more help, what's the instance names of your textfields and are
they components?

The text fields I have are not components, just made a textbox and changed it
to input text, then gave it a VAR name and no instance name. Did that for all
the imput text boxes in my survey. I just do not know how to get the imput
text boxes and all the radio buttons to all pass over to my PHP for that sends
me the email.

Some of the radio button group names I have are just the number of the
question the question. Example of the radio group names are: 1gender, 2age,
3family
Examples of the VAR names for imput text boxes are similar, but for one
question with many imput text boxes it looks like: 6brand, 6product, 6store,
6address, 6city

objects in flash should not have an initial character equal to a number.

you didn't list the variable names of your textfields but if they are
something like tf1Var, tf2Var etc and they are on the same timeline as your
code, you can use:



lo= new Object();
lv = new LoadVars();
lo.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
lv.evt_obj.target.groupName = evt_obj.target.selection.data;
};
gender.addEventListener("click", lo);
age.addEventListener("click", lo);
family.addEventListener("click", lo);
submitBtn.onPress = function() {
lv.tf1Var=tf1Var;
lv.tf2Var=tf2Var;
lv.tf3Var=tf3Var;
lv.send("yourPHP.php", "POST");
};

ok, I thought I was home free with that last script, but something is still not
working. It still will not send me an email with the results. Here is the
code I have now.


//This is the code on teh flash button.
lo= new Object();
lv = new LoadVars();
lo.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
lv.evt_obj.target.groupName = evt_obj.target.selection.data;
};

i don't see a problem with your flash code. you should start debugging by
removing (or commenting out) large chunks of the unneeded variables in your php
script to see what's incorrectly formatted or undefined.
