PHP Check box in Flash

Question

Hello all,
I have a flash form that has three checkboxes and some input
text boxes. My form uses a PHP script that works perfect for the
text but not the Check boxes. I'm not using the checkbox component,
I'm using a check box i got from flash kit. Below is the code for
the checkbox movie and my php code. What do I have to declare in
the my php file to have the check box work?
on (press) {
if (Number(CB_1) == 0) {
tellTarget ("checkbox1") {
gotoAndStop(2);
CB_1 = 1;
showstate1 = "yes";
} else {
tellTarget ("checkbox1") {
gotoAndStop(1);
CB_1 = 0;
showstate1 = "no";
This is my php code
<?
// Enter your contact email address here
$adminaddress = "[email protected]";
// Enter the address of your website here include
http://www.
$siteaddress ="www.mysite.com";
// Enter your company name or site name here
$sitename = "my site";
No need to change anything below unless you want to add or
subtract functions or change the wording of things sent back to the
flash file ...
// Gets the date and time from your server
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
// Gets the IP Address
if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
//Process the form data!
// and send the information collected in the Flash form to
Your nominated email address
if ($action != ""):
mail("$adminaddress","New User has Registered",
"A visitor at $sitename registered!\n

//Confirmation is sent back to the Flash form that the

$sendresult = "Thank you for comments and questions. You will
receive a confirmation email shortly.";
$send_answer = "answer=";
$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
echo "$send_answer";

Answer 1

1. You have not posting anything to show how Flash is
communicating wit the
server PHP script and it a guess that the variable in the
checkbox is not
getting sent.
2. Code with tellTarget is old and will be completely
obsolete as you want
to migrate this to newer and newer features in Flash for the
future.
