Flash Contact form for beginner

Hello,
I have been searching online for a tutorial to create a contact form on my flash website. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3. I am not fluent in ActionScript. I was looking to copy and paste the code and change the information to my own. Any help would be really appreciated.

You should be able to find a number of tutorials if you search Google using "AS3 contact form tutorial"

Flash contact form key issue

Hi my flash contact form will only accept certain keys, Like zxvywghjk.. and number keys will not type into it any ideas???
motionstills.co.uk

Forms in Flash use Input text objects. You have to embed the font or fonts that you want to use for those text objects. It sounds like either you embedded a font that doesn't contain a full set of glyphs or that a restricted set of glyphs was set in the Font Embed window.

Using PHP with Flash (contact form)

I am trying to get a contact form on a flash site to work and
for some reason the PHP isn't forwarding the message to my email.
Below is the flash code I have used as well as the document I have
saved as contact.php. Thank you so much for the help. This is the
last thing I need to complete for the site and I just can't seem to
get it right. Thanks.
Flash Code For the Submit Button:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
if (this._currentframe>1) {
this.prevFrame();
on (release) {
this._parent.getURL ("contact.php","_blank","GET");
this._parent.name = "Your Name:";
this._parent.email = "Your Email:";
this._parent.phone = "Your Phone Number:";
this._parent.text4 = "e-mail:";
this._parent.message = "Your Message:";
Here is what I have for Contact.php:
<?php
$your_name = $_GET['name'];
$your_email = $_GET['email'];
$your_phone = $_GET['phone'];
$your_message = $_GET['message'];
$recipient_email = "[email protected]";
$subject = "from " . $your_email;
$headers = "From: " . $your_name . "<" . $your_email .
">\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$content = "<html><head><title>Contact
letter</title></head><body><br>";
$content .= "Name: <b>" . $your_name .
"</b><br>";
$content .= "E-mail: <b>" . $your_email .
"</b><br><hr><br>";
$content .= "Phone: <b>" . $your_phone .
"</b><br>";
$content .= $your_message;
$content .= "<br></body></html>";
mail($recipient,$subject,$content,$headers);
?>
<html>
<body bgcolor="#282E2C">
<div align="center"
style="margin-top:60px;color:#FFFFFF;font-size:11px;font-family:Tahoma;font-weight:bold">
Your message was sent. Thank you.
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>resizeTo(300, 300)</script>

well...that's true..I wanted "name" to be cleared when
clicked...this version I found doesn't clear "name" when clicked,
but it needs selected and erased manually...anyway..it's better
then nothing...
Reason I want this is because I'm using a design that is not
giving me much space and I have to trick the low space with this
option.
If you want I can send you the fla to get a better
picture...I believe you deserve it :)

PHP files and Flash contact form

Hello,
I am creating a website in flash CS4 and I made a contact form and when I test the site out, I can type and click the submit button, so everything is fine there but it doesn't go to anything. Now I know I need a code to tell the contact form where to go, but I can't find one that works, or I may be doing something wrong. I also have been reading about PHP but I am not sure what that is. I found a site that said to put this code in the actions panel.
on(release){
getURL("http://www.mail.menaceaudio.com", "", "POST");
The www.mail.menaceaudio.com is the site for the companies email.
So when I test it out this error comes up:
1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

The code you show is AS2, not AS3. Try searching for 'as3 form php' and you should find plenty of info.
PHP is a server-side scripting language. You put PHP files on your server and can then call them from Flash...

Contact form for iweb?

Im just starting to play with the new iweb 08. The contact links are just simple mailto links. Is there a way to add a contact form? Mailto links tend to attract a lot of spam.
Thanks

I have used some of the forms from Form Logix...
http://www.formlogix.com/CreateWebForms.aspx
They have a wide variety and are very easy to use. The downside is that you are required to have their logo on them - to offset the cost of the free email service I guess.
This method of getting form information is a lot quicker than setting up your own form mail on a server. You can direct the replies to any email account on your Mac.

GoDaddy PHP Flash Contact Form Woes...

Hello!
I hope someone can help me.
I also having terrible problems getting my Mailing List Subscription form to work on my Flash Site. I'm also with Godaddy and they have basically been zero help so far. I'm using CS3 and AS 2.0.
My form just has 2 fields for name and email and then a submit button. The strange thing is that the way I have it now, I am able to receive the subscription emails if I test it locally from within Flash. But, as soon as I upload it to Godaddy it stops working! What's up with that?
However, even though when I test it from within Flash and receive the email, the "success" or "failed" response part still doesn't work for my form.
I've spent so many hours on this... Please help!
Here's my PHP:
<?PHP
ini_set('SMTP', 'relay-hosting.secureserver.net');
$theName = $_POST['theName'];
$theEmail = $_POST['theEmail'];
$to = '[email protected]' . ', ';
$subject = "Newsletter Subscription";
$message = "Name: " .$theName;
$message .= PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL ."Email: $theEmail";
$headers = "From: $theEmail";
$headers .= "\rReply-To: $theEmail";
$sentOk = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "sentOk=" . $sentOk;
?>
and here's my AS 2:
stop();
var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
sender.onRelease = function() {
senderLoad.theName = theName.text;
senderLoad.theEmail = theEmail.text;
senderLoad.sendAndLoad("http://www.website.com/send.php",receiveLoad, "POST");
receiveLoad.onLoad = function() {
if(this.sentOk) {
_root.gotoAndStop("success");
else {
_root.gotoAndStop("failed");
theName.tabIndex = 1;
theEmail.tabIndex = 2;

Actaully is i got this Action script from a tutorial and i learnt from it but the mail.php was not part of the tutorial.

Problems of forms for beginner

I am new to orcale portal. Here is some simple questions. I hope someone will help me. Thanks in advance.
How to detect duplicate records when insert or update?
e.g. I created a form based on table/view. My requirement is when I am doing insert or update, it will check the database for duplicate record. If duplicate is found, It will generate a user defined meaningful message and stops processing else submits the form. Can this be done by adding PL/SQL codes with 'insert' button?
Another question is, I want a 'preview' button to show the user the content that he just filled in before submitting the content. e.g, if a user put some HTML codes in one field of the form, he is given the preview before he submitting the content. My question is, if I use javascripts event handlers for the 'preview' button, how to get the value that the user put in from the session?

This first problem is solved by using 'p_session.get_value' and 'select' in PL/SQL Button Event Handler to check the value.
For the second problem, if JavaScript Event Handlers is used, how to get the input value (is there any function such as 'p_session.get_value')? Or, if PL/SQL Button Event Handler is employed, I am able to get the input value, however, htp.script does not work here.
For example, I put such a simple line in the 'PL/SQL Button Event Handler' for a button, say 'CLOSE',
htp.script('window.close();', 'Javascript');
It does not work. I checked the source for the displayed page, there's no 'onClick' event for button 'CLOSE', which means no javascript is generated from htp.script(). What's the problem?

Is SWFOBject messing up my Flash/PHP 'contact form'?

Hi all,
First post, and first project using Flash!
Here's the
page I'm having problems with...
It's an email contact page that uses a Flash contact form
that I purchased from iStockphoto. The swf uses a PHP script that I
keep in the same location on my server as the swf. The PHP sends
the email to my specified address. In theory that should work fine,
but in the interests of keeping things working across browsers, and
maintaining my Validation, I've been calling the swf using
SWFObject.
However, something is screwed up. When I click on 'Send' on
the successfully embedded Flash form, nothing happens. Neither my
hosting providers nor the author of the flash have been able to
work out why - although they both agree that SWFObject may have
something to do with it.
Please bear in mind that I'm REALLY new to Flash, although
I'm by no means a technonewbie - tell me what I'm looking for and
what to change and I can keep up, but someone posted the following
on another forum I frequent and I have no idea what it means:
quote:
Submitting a form relies on either a post or get method,
maybe SWFObject needs specific configuration to do this. If it
doesn't support either of those two methods you may need to use an
interim piece of javascript or something to accept the form
variables then call your sendmail.
Help much appreciated!
Owen

kglad,
The actionscript calls the PHP form but dosen't post any information, it loads in the browser and I get the email but nothing in it?
I'm just looking for the correct Actionscript to paste into flash and hopefully get it working. Thanks for the help.

Setting up Contact forms on AS3, Flash CS5????

Does anyone have a clear answer for me please, I have been through Training with Trani on HD and also with the Lynda.com package, as I try to make the second contact form - the program tells me that there is a function repitition so what must I do cause I am making more than 1 contact form for my website?
Does someone have an easy solution for me to go through cause its been like a week and I am tired of this silly issue, my website is done and now waiting to publish yet this error is not helping at all. Thanks for all the help...

If you understand what I am saying I do not see the challenge of which you speak. You can rename functions to anything you like, just not the same name as another function. The only thing I can imagine is that you do not understand that functions you see defined in code are named by whoever wrote the code. So if you see a function like...
function someWords(){
// code
that is a function that you can rename as you please...
function someOtherWords(){
// other code
so long as you change whatever calls upon that function as well.
But if the code within the functions is not going to change, then you don't need to have two functions defined to do the same thing anyways... just share the same one for both forms

Problem with contact form

Hi-
I found a contact form for my Flash website but it's not working properly. It uses ActionScript 3 and PHP, both of which I don't know much about. Because of this, I can't pinpoint the problem or how to fix it. Here's what's going on:
1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc...
2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears.
3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but please let me know if I am wrong about this.
I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below.. if someone can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it. I am not sure which file the problem is in. If someone here doesn't know PHP then at least see the AS code and let me know if the problem is in that or not. That way I can pinpoint which file the problem is coming from and then seek further help if needed. To see the form in action, go here: http://www.poojasdesigns.com/ and click on "Contact Me".. here are the codes:
ActionScript 3.0
//presistant reference to this movie's mail timeline:
var mainTL:MovieClip = this;
//start off with submit button dimmed
submit_mc._alpha = 40;
//create the LoadVars objects which will be used later
//one to send the data...
var dataSender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//and one to recieve what comes back
var dataReceiver:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
create listener for Key Object
this is just a U.I. thing - "wakes up" the submit button
when all fields have at least some content
var formCheck:Object = new Object();
formCheck.onKeyUp = function() {
     if (name_txt.text != '' &&

You say you don't know much about AS3, and that you have embedded this form into an swf. In what manner did you embed it, and what version of AS does the swf use? Have you tried using the form in the page that was provided as a standalone test to see if it works?

Contact Form won't display input text

Hi,
I'm trying to create a flash contact form that sends the
user's message on enter key. Therefore I need you to help me do
this and also help me understand why my form isn't displaying right
when I have a mask for it.
To get a better picture of the problem
here you can
see how the form should look like and
here you can
see the same form, but with the mask

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "embed the fonts
in each of the text fields"
Please have a look at the .fla file:
http://www.claudiudesign.org/test/sterg.fla
(this fla has the mask; if you remove it you will be able to
see the working contact form)
It won't take you more than 1 min to understand what's up
with it if your good at this.
Thing is I'm behind the schedule with this and I have to
solve the problem as soon as possible.
Thank You
