Hello,

I’m having a problem integrating an email marketing company’s subscribe data (pasted below) with a Flash template (attached) that has a predefined subscribe form and I’m hoping someone might be able to help.

The predefined form has an OK button that is pressed upon subscribing so I assigned the following script to the OK button to test it on my harddrive but the test failed:

on(press){  
getURL("[COLOR=#000000]file:///D:/test.txt[/COLOR][",0,“post](file:///D:/test.txt”,0,“post)”);  
}

One of the issues that I’m having is that the OK button blinks like crazy on mouseover and I’m wondering if that’s part of the problem.

I have Flash 8 with ActionScript 2.0 and viewed the tutorial at this link but have not made any progress: [[COLOR=#003366]http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter…6165/index.php[/COLOR]](http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...6165/index.php)

Here is the email marketing company data that I need to integrate into flash:

\<form method=“post” action=“http://…” onsubmit=“window.open( ‘[http://www.verticalresponse.com](http://www.verticalresponse.com)’, ‘vr\_optin\_popup’, ‘scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=450’ ); return true;” \>

Appreciate any feedback that you can offer!

Thanks so much!

i downloaded your file, and here are some issues:

1. the file would not compile;
2. none of your objects have instance names;
3. there is no code related to your button
4. your actionscript should be in one frame on the root, not two;

forgot to tell you…  
when you use getURL( ) to test opening your file, don’t use “file:///D:/test.txt;” instead place the test.txt file in the same directory as your .swf/.fla and use the code below, although i don’t really see what you are trying to post.

getURL(“test.txt”, “\_blank”, “POST”);

Hello \_Name,

I appreciate your time and comments so much! After reading your post and working on the file for several more hours, I decided that it’s a bit over my head and changed the design to something a little easier - a simple button/link that will take the visitor to another page to input their data via an HTML form. Whew…

Thanks again for your help!
