flash actionscript: Hello. I'm hoping someone can assist. I think this is probably pretty simple,
but I only know basic Actionscripting -- learning more as I go along. I have
one input text field and a submit button. This is a small Flash form that I'm
creating for a client to put on their website. I have this info from their
developer to use for this form...

// Form action url
&form_action=http://webpage&
//
// Info Box Field Names////////////////
&request_text_field_name=request_text&
&p_user_id=2345&

I just need to know how to use this in the Flash file to get the info to send.
If this is fairly simple, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to
do this, or point me towards a tutorial or something. Or just let me know that
it's a bit complicated and I'll get someone else to do it for me! Thanks in
advance!

In addition the load you can get with some Googling, the examples in Flash help
are good starting point. Mostly depends on if you want to use XML or not:

Without XML:
1. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002336.html
2. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001588.html

With XML: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html

There is also the Flash Pro data integration components to consider. These are
for using the Flash UI components where the UI components can be bound to the
data source without coding. Still a big leap in learning but nevertheless a way
to go:

Note you can use Flash UI components with the LoadVars and XML above via
ActionScript as well.

Finally do not dismiss the Adobe site. It contains many free examples and
tutorials. For data integration you may want to start:
