Re: FLASH: form in flash ???

[Robbert - Jan]

You can create this form using two ways.


1. add an "Get URL" action to the submit form button you've just created.

did you, yes :)

    in the "On" event you'll also have to set some variables for the

FormMail perl script to work.

    as this script only needs one hidden variable it's easy.

    and it will look like this


   On (Release)

      Set Variable: "recipient" = "

Bert [dot] Deyaertping [dot] be

"

      Get URL ("/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl", vars=POST)

   End On


   You see that the hidden field is just send as an variable to the script.

Don't forget to use POST to send the variables.


2. Load Variables in location, easy if you don't want the perl script to

refresh your flash page.

    add an "Load/Unload movie" action to your submit button. select "Load

variables into location", enter the location of the  perl script, which is

"/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl", set the target level to "0" (without the quotes) and

don't forget to send the vars using     POST.

also the the variable "recipient" again to your e-mail adres.


and it will look like this


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "recipient" = "

Bert [dot] Deyaertping [dot] be

"

      Load Variables ("/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl", 0, vars=POST)

End On


that's all you need to know.
