I'm not a programer by any means. I'm a Master Diver with a new hobby. This flash project is a whole new animal for me.
Html, PHP, and mySQL are easy for me... sort of... not really.

I have two files:
1. dive.pl
2. dive.cfg
These two file are written in perl. This script takes the "form input text field" information and passes to the mail domain server, then I get the email. something like that.

Okay, in flash i created some "input text" fields:

then I created a button bar and coded it with actionscript:

Code: [ Select ]

on (release) {
getURL ('dive.pl',POST);
}

on (release) {
getURL ('dive.pl',POST);
}

In the dive.cfg file, there is a line where I can add ANY input type from the form.

Code: [ Select ]

// add input names here
SENDFIELDS = Name, Email, Subject, Feedback

// add input names here
SENDFIELDS = Name, Email, Subject, Feedback

In HTML it works great, but in flash not so much.
In my incoming email from the domain, it should display all of my inputs but it's not, there all blank and its showing the following only:
Name:
Email:
Subject:
Feedback:

I know this is a wordy post, but I would love to get some help with this please.
Thank you in advance.

I found the code if anyone is interested.

Quote:

Actionscrip Flash MX

Code: [ Select ]

------SEND BUTTON----------
on (release) {
     if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") {
        stop();
     } else {
     loadVariablesNum("dive.pl", 0, "POST");
     gotoAndStop(2);
   }
}

-------CLEAR BUTTON-------------

on (release) {
  name = "";
  subject="";
  message="";
  email="";
}

------SEND BUTTON----------
on (release) {
if (name eq "" or subject eq "" or message eq "" or email eq "") {
stop();
} else {
loadVariablesNum("dive.pl", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
-------CLEAR BUTTON-------------
on (release) {
name = "";
subject="";
message="";
email="";
}

you have to name the input text in the Var: box like you have to name each HTML input type:

Code: [ Select ]

each input text you create you have to name it.
This is the code I have been looking for.
I said I would figure it out. and i'm giving it to you.
