I am new to Flash Form

Hi all,
My name is Unyime Edet, male, from Nigeria.
I am currently creating a website with Dreamweaver and i
really want to know how i can create a Flash Form for my
Registration/application form page, starting from the scratch. I
really need some help and i want to know how to start. I am using
Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash and ColdFusion MX. Please kindly let
me know how to validate flash forms, and also how to send the data
gotten from the forms to a customized email address, then after the
user click the SUBMIT button, it redirects the user to a Thank you
page, OR when the user fills an incorrect data, how a mesage can
popup in flash, telling the user that the field that is required is
empty, or has not been completed.
I will be very glad if my post is reviewed and solved. Thank
you all. My email address is: [email protected] My website is:
www.izi2brauz.t83.net.
Sincerely,
Unyime Edet

Your replacement form.swf could be as simple as an empty
movie with just
getURL("form.html","_blank");
in a frame script space.
However, while this will get the new html doc on the user's
screen, there may be more code in the opener swf that needs to be
managed. There may be some code in there that is waiting for the
form to be sent, or dismissed, or there may be some code that is
waiting for that form.swf to be closed. You'll have to try it and
see what happens.
There are many Flash decompilers available for Flash as2
files. If these movies are your intellectual property then you
could use one of these tools to decompile the movie and fix the
problem at the source.

I Need Dire Help Making a Flash Form

Hello, I need some serious help creating a Flash Form.
I Have used a template from another site with the following
input boxes:
Name: __________
Email: __________
Comments: ____________
However, i had the script working fine, along with its php
script,
when i was trying to add more "text" boxes, i must have
messed the script up somhow.
When I submit that form, the name is send and email, but the
email is blank.. ie, there is no "comments"
here is the code:
on submit button:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
sent email messege
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
and the php script (mailer.php)
php form email.pho
<?php
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.
// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
$_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could
send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may
vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the
return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
// now we can add the content of the message to a body
variable
$message = $_POST["message"];
// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
If anyone can see why the "comments" section is not being
sent?
Also: My original problem was how do you add more text boxes.
I want something like this:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Mobile:
Email:
Website:
Comments:
Ive spent days and days trying to work out how to first make
a form that actually works, then add more text fields
Ive looked at many basic form tutorials, but they all seem to
only have 3 or 4 text fields.. Name, Email, Comments... etc
I haven't a clue how to edit the script both in action script
and php to add more fields easy.
I really need some help with this, its turning into a
nightmare for me.
I can provide someone with my .fla project file if they care
to take a look at what im doing wrong.
Thanks
Pan
ps. Please note: "$sendTo = "[email protected]";" =
this line i know i must put in my own email.

This is all about timelines. It seems there is a movieclip
named 'form' (or possibly an actionscript object, can't tell). Any
variables created on that timeline are sent.
So you could have your new textfields on another timeline.
Or you could have textfields with no instance name in the
form timeline.
Those are the first two things to look at. Post the FLA and
we can tell you more specifically.

Flash form error, can't use the same name more than once? need workaround

I've always written my forms to have multiple buttons, one
for updating and one for deleting. so in html I would do this:
<input type=submit name=action value=Update>
<input type=submit name=action value=Delete>
so I'm trying the same thing with flash forms in cold fusion:
<cfinput label="Update" name="action" type="submit"
value="Update">
<cfinput label="Delete" name="action" type="submit"
value="Delete">
but now I get this message:
2 Errors found.
Error /index.cfm:334
id 'action' was already defined on line 333
Error /index.cfm:335
id 'action' was already defined on line 333
Is there a way to make this work or do I have to either
create a special action_delete or a new form? I'd like to keep the
logic the way I like.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

I was hoping to do logic like this
<cfparam name="action" default="list">
<cfif action equal "list">
<cfelseif action equal "update">
<cfelseif action equal "detail">
<cfelseif action equal "delete">
</cfif>
So I just converted everything to html and things work the
way I like. thanks anyway. The forms don't really buy me anything.

Flash forms in Safari 3.0

I just installed the new Apple Safari 3.0 for Windows. I
wanted to see how our web site would work with the new browser. I
found that flash forms do not load. All I get is a blue lego block
with question marks. I checked the plugins and there is a listing
for "Shockwave Flash" version 9.0 r45. Is there something else that
needs to be installed to make this work?
Thanks,
Don

Count me on with the problem. We are running CF 7. I have
also not found anything. I did report it using the little bug in
Safari 3 and have been looking for the latest releases of the
browser. I love the browser overall (I am an apple fan) but we need
this to work. I am wondering if the problem is in how CF renders
and puts out the flash content. Some kind of meta data that is not
up to date? Have no clue however.

How to get "Subject" & "Message" text from Flash form to default e-mail MS Outlook?

Hi,
I have the following code which is working fine except I can't get the user typed data from flash form to my default e-mail (MS Outlook) application. How to edit the following code?
In the code:
1) To ----> this field is okay since this email ID doesn't change
2) Cc ----> this filed is also okay since no changes will be in email ID
3) Subject ----> this may not be always as "Feedback", user may like to change the subject
Whant I would like to add more here is:
1) From ----> this text to be retrieved from "fromText.txt" input text box
2) Message ----> this text to be retrieved from "MessageText.txt" input text box
//1.Button event listener
SendMail.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SendEMail);
//2.The SendMail function open up email application to send email.
function SendEMail(event:MouseEvent):void {
var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]?CC=[email protected]&Subject=Feedback");
navigateToURL(email, "_blank");
Thanks in advance for any support.
Regards.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the code and result is like the following:
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
Subject: [object TextField]?body=From: [object TextField]
Body: Blank
The problem exist in SUBJECT & BODY.
Further help, please.
Thanks.
PS: I removed the ? before body and put & ------> the result is as follows:
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
Subject: [object TextField]
Body: From: [object TextField]
[object TextField]
One more thing that it opens an empty web page with the following text in adress bar:
mailto:[email protected]?CC=poweruser@helpdesk&Subject=Feedback

Flash Forms not displaying

I have just about given up on flash forms. I have read just
about every thread in this Forum, but cannot find the answer.
Have worked with flash forms in the past, but after recently
upgraded to a new box with Vista Business and Codl Fusion 8 Dev
Edition I cannot get flash forms working. I have have seen a tonne
of postings with the same issue, but few with a resolution, and
where there is I try it and makes no difference.
If I run the following code:
<cfform format="flash">
<cfinput type="dateField" name="startDate" label="Start
Date:" mask="dd/mm/yyyy">
</cfform>
If I remove format="flash" form works fine. If I include
format="flash" form doesn't display. View source shows the code
there, CFIDE is mapping correctly etc.
One thing I do notice though, which may or may not be
involved is that when viewing the code generated, it is looking in
the same folder that the script that includes the form was in. Do I
need to tell it to look somewhere else? Pure speculation here, but
EVERYTHING else checks out.
If someone at Adobe can set this straight would be great,
because an afternoon spent reading other postings on this matter
shows there are clearly a lot of people stumbling around in the
dark on this one.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Michael --
Thanks for your help.
I think I've narrowed the problem down -- it's not that it
won't display my flash form in IE, it's that it won't display it in
a Fusebox environment. I'm going to poke over at their site to see
what they have to say -- I suspect I'll need to upgrade the version
of Fusebox that I'm using. :)

Host Header Flash Forms Problems

Hello,
I'm running CFMX 7.01 on IIS 6, Windows 2003 Server....
I've created an intranet application that uses several flash
forms. The site is located in the folder of
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CorpComWeb. This can be referenced from the
Default website by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ OR
http://CorpComm (after adding an
internal DNS host header and then referencing it in Website -
Advanced - Host header value). This works great for every page
EXCEPT the two pages that contain CF Flash Forms. When I try to
access these pages using
http://CorpComm/flashformpage.cfm it spins into infinity (no
error just never loads). If I access the page by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ the
page loads fine.
Any ideas as to why this would be?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, stupid mistake on my part.
When creating the new site in IIS, I forgot to add a virtual
directory pointing to CFIDE...

Resource for Flash Forms?

I have a new application assignment and want to give it a try
with Flash forms. Can anyone suggest a tutuorial or *gasp* a book
that covers flash based forms in CF development?

i guess it depends on your needs but these days i'd just go
w/flex. plenty of
resources for that.

Flash forms, dynamic content

I am relatively new to assembling Flash Forms.
I am trying to build a form that lists departments in a
dropdown on one tab and will then display a list of items and
checkboxes that apply to the department that is selected on another
tab.
I am using cfsavecontent to save a variable that is the
department id. I understand how all the data from the cfsavecontent
tag can be displayed in a text box, but is it possible to display a
list of checkboxes based on the cfsavecontent data instead of a
text field? Can this be done? Thank you for any insight.

If I'm not mistaken, you'd need to use a rich media vendor to
provide dynamic content.

Flash form not loading in IE6

Hello, all.
The issues are just appearing out of the woodworks, now.
The project I am working on (
http://www.goldininstitute.org/staging_directory/)
now has yet another issue - in IE6, the flash form does not load at
all. It's supposed to be in the lower left corner - a login form,
just username and password with a submit button - and works great
in FF/NN/Op, but does not appear at all in IE6. Is this another
security issue for IE? Form code follows:

Cf8 Flash Form Problems

After we upgraded to CF8 all of our flash form are giving us
this error:
Error generating Flash Movie from form definition.
from this site:
http://cf.acesag.auburn.edu/fisheries/publications/
Any ideas guys? I really need this up and running fairly soon
cheers,
troy

You might want to check your IIS mappings and make sure it's
pointing to the correct CFIDE directory in the new ColdFusion 8
installation. I had a similar problem and found it was still
pointing to the CF 7 directory.

Flash Form Limitations

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a large number of input in a single
flash form, the input is a finalcial survey I desinged it into
different tabs, now I'm in the middle of the survey, when I try to
add new inputs the form doesn't execute!
Is there a limitation for the capacity of a flash form?
The design below is half the details I needed
http://www.dreamconsultancy.net/proj/chilli/
Thank you,

quote:
Actually I got no error messages
It's likely that you haven't turned on the Flash Form
debugging in the Administrator. Check Flash Form Compile Errors and
Messages and then give the form another shot. There are 64k and 32k
branch limits which you may hit (you can google the error messages
for a little more information).
I've typically refactored by reducing the number of styles in
the resulting flash output or by reducing the "nestedness" of
elements inside elements. Of course, switching to Flex provided a
more permanent solution:)

Brilliant, works like a charm. Thanks very much, Nickels55!
Is there a way I can add something like your
"vidcontrol._visible=
false;" to the "Mojaveexternalall.swf" skin as well? Right
now if I
click on the big arrow, everything works fine, but if I click
on the
Mojaveexternalall's small Play arrow instead, that new button
layer
doesn't disappear.

Can't get flash form to submit all information

Hi!
I need flash help. The site is live at www.idsignco.com - The problem that I'm having is that when customers fill out the contact form on the 'contact' page, it doesn't send their email to us (which is one of the fields).
Here is a jpg of the movie clip I'm working in, and the supplementary files I'm using:
http://s43.photobucket.com/albums/e354/emilysk8/?action=view&current=help.jpg
Since it's only submitting 2 of the 3 fields, does that mean it's a problem with flash, or one of the form configuration files?
I'm VERY new to flash, so please use dummy terms.
Thanks for any help, and please let me know if you need more info.
