'nowrap' available in flash forms?

When using formgroup=hbox,horizontal,hdividedbox
I'm still having issues with the page not forcing
horizontal-ness. Instead of a dynamic scroll bar or something, as
you drag to shrink a page, the form widgets stack themselves, as
though they were in a table cell that did not have nowrap set. Is
there a way to always force the nowrap notion in flash
forms?

Since you requested advice, mine is to use html forms. 
I gotta say I agree.  With JQuery being as mature as it is now, I don't see a very good case for Flash-based forms.
Bianca, do you have a reason for wanting to use Flash forms?  If nothing else, you will be preventing anyone who uses IOS from using said forms.  I say Apple users bring this sort of thing on themselves, but - rightly or wrongly - they do represent an increasing chunk of the browser market.

  • Flash form and  Database integration using PHP

    One of the simpleest ways to Flash forms and data components
    to interact with a MySQL Database is with the use of PHP scripts.
    These scripts can be the intermediary between the Flash form and
    the MySQL Database. There are some
    FREE Tutorials available at

    I hope this helps.

    I think i found your problem.
    It's a Syntax Error here you should use . instead of ,...
    [code]
    Subject",$CompanyName
    [/code]
    this should work.

  • 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.

  • How do you know what view is available to a form?

    A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
    The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
    Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
    Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
    How do you know what view is available to a form?

    Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
    baseContext=':variables.user'
    And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
    What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.

  • Flash forms -- Not displaying in IE

    This is my first foray into flash forms, and I discovered
    yesterday that while they look/work beautifully in Firefox
    (2.0.0.4), they're not displaying at all in IE (6 or 7).
    I'm using it to force the user to input their date in a
    uniform format, so I'm sure there's a non-flash workaround. I'd
    like to get this sorted out though, so my future work with flash
    can be more involved.
    Code is attached. Please let me know if I can provide further
    clarification.

    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. :)

  • How to validate date fields in the flash form

    i want to validate the date fields to make sure the values
    are not greater than today's date and from-date is less than or
    equal to to-date in the flash form. Does the actionscript have a CF
    DateDiff function for the validatation?
    Thanks

    I finally (after much reading up on actionscript) figured out
    my problem with date validation...which was similar to yours...
    I posted the solution I found for my AS date validation issue

  • 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.

  • Certain fonts now available in Flash CS4

    Some of my fonts, namely Trebuchet and the entire Swiss family do not show up as options in Flash.
    I've also noticed this happens with Dreamweaver CS4 as well.
    I do admit I moved all of my fonts to mostly one location so I'm wondering if I violated some ridiculous Adobe requirement.
    Does anyone know where Adobe expect the fonts to be?
    I'm on two Mac Pro's, one has Snow Leopard.
    I moved all of my fonts to the user/Library/Fonts folder except for the system fonts.
    Is there a preferred place to store fonts for Adobe apps?

    i think flash uses your system fonts.  if you change fonts available to your system, you change the fonts available to flash.

  • Flash Forms do not work in Production

    My question is simple. I am unable to find server
    requirements for Flash forms anywhere on Adobe's website. It claims
    you can find more in the other technical documentation but I
    couldn't. What technologies need to be installed in order to
    utilize flash forms SERVER-WISE?
    I have a production server, a pre-production server (running
    full cfmx7), and a development server. The application works on the
    test machine, and on pre-production. The flash form simply does not
    render and no errors are displayed.
    If I convert it to a normal cfform it displays fine on the
    troubled machine. It will not display even the most simple of flash
    forms.
    Thanks for any help!

    Did you make sure that you have a virtual directory mapped to
    the CFIDE directory in IIS on your production server?

  • How to Use Captcha in Flash Forms

    Hi, does anyone knows how to use a captcha in flash forms
    I am using Coldfusion 7 not version 8.
    Please Guide Me
    Cheers

    > CF response
    You said you needed help with ActionScript. What I gave you
    is ActionScript.
    Coldfusion has no built-in method called
    match. You should use REMatch(reg_expression, string) or
    REMatchNoCase(reg_expression, string), assuming you're on CF 8, of
    course.
