FLASH: Re: Flasher in need...

[marcpidoux]

Hi John,


Happy to "see" you back :-)


As I told you, I allready tryied a lot of things such as:


HTML form with mailto using POST =>

name=marc&

email=marcpidouxl-4 [dot] de

&subject=test&message=test+using+html+mailto%28post%29&submit=Envoyer


FLASH form with mailto using POST=>

name=marc&email=marcpidoux%40l%2D4%2Ede&subject=test&message=test+using+flash+mailto+%28post%29


Then without changing anything but only instead of Get url "mailto" but "Get

url http://www.....com/sendmail.asp",

the HTML form send me:


name: marc

email:

marcpidouxl-4 [dot] de

subject: test

message: test using html sendmail.asp (post)

submit: Envoyer


the FLASH form send me:


NOTHING !!!


So, are you sure than if in my ASP script I don't write a response value for

Flash, the sript wouldn't send me the mail?


I am not sure to anderstand :


"You would need a variable in Flash called message to pick this up.


Second you need to convert the error message into a variable pair as

well so it can be read in Flash so if you don't get through you can read

the error message."



How should I call this variable?(Is it a text field non editable?)

What is a variable pair?How do I do it?


Thanks a lot.


Marc
