Need an example of AS3 to duplicate form

Question

I have been trying to solve this problem for 4 days to no avail. The entire site is done with the exception of this one hangup. I need to have 2 email forms on 2 different places in the timeline going to 2 different addresses. I have the PHP for both, but am having problems getting the 2nd form to function.
When I try to reuse the same code for the 2nd email, I get a load of errors regarding duplicate functions.
Can anybody edit, copy and paste an example of the following script (the one that works with the first form).  I believe can figure out the instance name changes, etc. if I have something to work with.
I am a total newbie and don't know a thing about AS3 and I have a hard time understanding the explanations.  I just need a script that won't conflict with the first form as duplicating functions etc.  Thanks (PS: The string in red is for the 1st email form. I also have a PHP file "send_email_02.php" for the 2nd email form.

contact_message.text = message_status.text = "";

var timer:Timer;
var var_load:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
var URL_request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "send_email.php" );
URL_request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

  contact_subject.text == "" || contact_message.text == "" )
  message_status.text = "Please complete all text fields.";

  timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, on_timer);
  timer.start();

function on_timer(te:TimerEvent):void
if( timer.currentCount >= 10 )
  contact_name.text = contact_email.text = contact_subject.text =
  contact_message.text = message_status.text = "";
  timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, on_timer);

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this. The way that I like best is using a User Setting.
1) Pick a name for your setting.
2) Enter the name of the setting in the web service configuration for the two (or more) web services that want to share the setting. Any portlet that needs to "see" the setting must have it specified its web service configuration.
3) When a user clicks on a link in one of your portlets, set the setting: IPortletResponse.SetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "settingName", "settingValue")
4) In another portlet, get the setting and display it: IPortetRequest.GetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "settingName")
The nice thing about doing it this way is that even if your portlets are set to be cached "forever," they will change whenever you change the user setting (assuming you followed step 2).
Hope this helps,
