Re: Adding an e-mail flash form to my flash site : Adobe Flash

THIS IS AN AS3 EXAMPLE

Drag a checkbox component (Window > Components I think) onto the stage and give it an instance name. (like checkBox)

Then use the textfield tool to draw the fields that you need and again, give them an appropriate instance name. In my example, I'll use name_txt and msg_txt.

Then draw a button that will act as send button. Press F8 to 'Convert to Symbol'. Check MovieClip (you could work with a Button instead of a MovieClip, but I like working with MovieClips better.) Give the button another instance name in the properties panel. Like send_mc.

Next, put this actionscript onto the main timeline where you placed your form:

import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.net.URLRequestMethod; import flash.net.URLVariables; import flash.net.navigateToURL; // Add an eventlistener that will respond when the user clicks the send button send_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClickHandler); // This function is called when the user clicks the send button function mouseClickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void { // Retrieve the values from the textfields and checkbox var name:String = name_txt.text; var message:String = msg_txt.text; var check:string = getCheckBox(); // Create a URLVariables object and store the variables to be sent to your PHP script var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); vars.name = name; vars.message = message; vars.check = check; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); request.data = vars; request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; request.url = "myUrl.php" // ENTER YOUR WEBSITE HERE navigateToURL(request); } // Checks if your checkbox is checked and returns a string // When checked, "Selected" is returned else "Not selected" is returned function getCheckBox():String { if(checkBox.selected == true){ return "selected"; }else{ return "not selected"; } }

This code sends all the variables to your PHP script using the POST method. So in your PHP script you would use $_POST['name'] and $_POST['check'] to get the variables. Now you just have to send the e-mail.

Good luck.

Kind regards,
Pieter

General notice: from now on, I would like to ask everyone to put [AS2] or [AS3] (corresponding to the version of actionscript you are using on your project) in front of their post titles when the question is actionscript related! Please help us help you faster. Thank you.
