I have a flash form. It works properly as long as i leave it as the main swf host in a html page.
but when i load it in to a empty movie in another swf it does not work properly. any help would be greatly appreciated. here is the code :
submit_mc._alpha = 40;
dataSender = new LoadVars();
dataReceiver = new LoadVars();
formCheck = new Object();
formCheck.onKeyUp = function ()
{
if (name_txt.text != "" && email_txt.text != "" && subject_txt.text != "" && message_txt.text != "")
{
alert_txt.text = "";
submit_mc._alpha = 100;
}
else
{
submit_mc._alpha = 40;
} // end else if
};
Key.addListener(formCheck);
normal_border = 8025975;
focus_border = 16420096;
normal_background = 15527142;
focus_background = 15328227;
normal_color = 7826796;
focus_color = 0;
inputs = [name_txt, email_txt, subject_txt, message_txt];
for (var elem in inputs)
{
inputs[elem].border = true;
inputs[elem].borderColor = normal_border;
inputs[elem].background = true;
inputs[elem].backgroundColor = normal_background;
inputs[elem].textColor = normal_color;
} // end of for...in
TextField.prototype.onSetFocus = function ()
{
this.borderColor = focus_border;
this.backgroundColor = focus_background;
this.textColor = focus_color;
};
TextField.prototype.onKillFocus = function ()
{
this.borderColor = normal_border;
this.backgroundColor = normal_background;
this.textColor = normal_color;
};
Selection.setFocus(name_txt);
submit_mc.onRelease = function ()
{
if (name_txt.text != "" && email_txt.text != "" && subject_txt.text != "" && message_txt.text != "")
{
alert_txt.text = "";
_root.play();
dataSender.name = name_txt.text;
dataSender.email = email_txt.text;
dataSender.subject = subject_txt.text;
dataSender.message = message_txt.text;
dataReceiver.onLoad = function ()
{
if (this.response == "invalid")
{
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
alert_txt.text = "Please check email address - does not appear valid.";
}
else
{
_root.gotoAndStop(4);
} // end else if
};
dataSender.sendAndLoad("processEmail.php", dataReceiver, "POST");
}
else
{
alert_txt.text = "Please complete all fields before submitting form.";
} // end else if
};
stop ();

Hey Jacob,
Usually when I bring in a outside swf to a movieclip, I change all the "_root" references to "this" instead. So try changing that in your form fla.
Hope this helps, anyone else, please feel free to correct or add in.

So here is my code now. (below)
in the statement...
submit_mc.onRelease = function ()
{
if (name_txt.text != "" && email_txt.text != "" && subject_txt.text != "" && message_txt.text != "")
{
alert_txt.text = "";
play();
dataSender.name = name_txt.text;
dataSender.email = email_txt.text;
dataSender.subject = subject_txt.text;
dataSender.message = message_txt.text;
dataReceiver.onLoad = function ()
{
if (this.response == "invalid")
{
gotoAndStop(1);
alert_txt.text = "Please check email address - does not appear valid.";
}
else
{
gotoAndStop(4);
} // end else if
};
I changed the _root.'s to self's and it still did not work so now i have removed them all together so i am left with just gotandstop's. the form works great as long as it is the main swf. but when i load it into an empty movie it functions as if it is working ( it goes through the motions and displays the "your message has been sent successfully") but the email never shows up.
