sendAndLoad problems

Ok, so I have everything working so far exept the sendAndLoad, It works fine if i just do a send() using POST but i want it to sendAndLoad().



When i have it as send() it will just pop-up a new window that POST's the information. But i cant seem to get it to use sendAndLoad then go to the from 42.

PHP:



Is the PHP file setup correctly to work with Flash?

i think its better that U use 2 loadVars .



then



then for received buffer .



hope that helps

Hmm nope, still doesnt seem to be posting.

Does it matter if i have it sendAndLoad("http://....
like on another server, or should it still be working?

if you have the PHP script within the same directory of the swf file then it should be okay , otherwise u gotta specify the path .

try removing POST in



instead keep it this way



make sure of the objects paths you are using check for namin mistakes etc ...
for now try the above .

tell me exactly what happens !

Ugghh im gonna die.
Nope that didnt work either, I tried that but just like before once i click the button nothing happens. Im sure the .php file works for sure because i did just a regular <form> in html and that went through.

Is there any other possible way to send information to .php using POST or GET that will be hidden from the user(like not redirecting or opening a new window) and also continue playing the flash? I need it to in the middle of the flash send the information.

hi,

I'm having a similar problem, did you managed to find a solution?

tnx

well guys check if your php script works first =\ ..
don't know where the error is , do u guys have the files ?

well, the script works fine as long as I'm using firefox or netscape. My problems apear when I'm using IE
The script is in perl, not php but I don't think this is an issue here.
Tnx

are u sure its not a typo in flash ?
check your vars check the posts above ...

how can it be a typo if everything works in firefox or netscape?
i think i'm missing something.
the url, and the inputs are the same for FF of IE but still only in FF the inputs get to the server.

thought u r doing it from flash ..
typo in flash instance name or a variable u might have missed ..

the form is in flash, but this is the problem, the same swf works if it is loaded in FF pr neatscape, but fails if it is loaded by Internet Explorer...

i hear ya which ie u using 6 ? 7 ? and which ver of flash ? 8 ?

I'm using (i'm not shure, right now I'm at work) IE 6 and Flash mx 2004(so this should be flash 8 ).
I have to tell you that i'm not very familiar with flash and it is possible to make stupid mistakes. evenso, right now i'm quite shure this is not the case... the action script is quite simple and as I said, it works fine if I use FF or netscape.

let me describe my problem in more detail:
i have to "make it work" a page that sends an email from a flash form.
i have a form with a few fields and I use a perl script to send the mail.
my biggest problem is that I don't have access to the perl script or at the logs of the server where this site is located, so I don't realy have the posibility to debug.
I had problems using some of the available functions like loadvars.send, loadvars.sendAndLoad, loadVariablesNum or loadVariables. Using any of this functions didn't get my anywhere(it doesn't work with any browser). The only way to make the post action was using getURL(url, _blank, "post").
the perl script have to recive 3 required inputs recipient="the_email_address", subject="subject_of_the_email" and required="". All other inputs from the form will be included in the email.
I was hopeing that I was overlooking some basic stuff but now I'm not shure about that.
tnx for your time and I hope you can help me
