anyone know how to make a simple 'contact us' type thing within a flash movie?

the user needs to be able to input their name, email, comments etc then fire it off to a predefined email address. Any online examples/tutorials?

what you using to process the form ie php or asp or cgi

well i found a tutorial that uses php so will give that a go.

I'll probably be back soon shouting and swearing cos i cant make it work...

Mr Fred · 30-09-2003, 09:32

I'm guessing you've solved it?

Dead easy if you haven't, Shout

hmmmm... i thought i'd sorted it - coded it etc - but tested it on the server and nowt happened. I can send a mail using php from the sever ok, but not from flash.

Its gotta be finish by OEP today and i've got about another 4 hours of design to do...sigh

having a look at my files and will post code if required to see if it looks same

i suppose or you can just copy it as i know it works

tomson · 10-10-2003, 10:17

good man!

Mr Fred · 10-10-2003, 10:32

right

you need file .swf
and subscribe.php (this has to be placed in the images folder so that it can find the swf)

will pm them you shortly - its been a while and trying to figure it out haha

Mr Fred · 10-10-2003, 10:34

Mr Fred · 10-10-2003, 10:35

just change the graphics (althought they are very good

)

but dont change script - only the parts directing the script to your domain
