Can anyone figure this out?

on (release) {
if (bfname eq “” or blname eq “” or bmessage eq “” or bemail eq “”) {
stop();
} else {
if(_root.purchase.getState()) {
var iwouldliketo = “I would like to Purchase”;
}else {
var iwouldliketo = “I would like to Rent/Lease”;
}
if(_root.signmeupnews.getValue()) {
var signmeupnews = “Sign me up for your newsletter”;
}else {
var signmeupnews = “Dont Sign me up for your newsletter”;
}
var temparea = new String(_root.<b>area</b>.getSelectedItem().label);
var <b>areaofinterest</b> = temparea;
loadVariablesNum(“buyers.php”, 0, “POST”);
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

for “areaofinterest” no matter what I do it always seems to send a blank back to PHP…

If i put a trace(temparea) instead of assigning it to “areaofinterest” i get the right value when I test within flash… but when I do it on the server it sends a blank… what’s the problem here?.. i just can’t figure it out :frowning:

Just to clarify
“area” is the name of my combo box which I’m using to get the selected item.

Thank you kindly in advance

weird scripting… :slight_smile:
temparea = _root.area.getSelectedItem().label;
does this work?
why do you need new string?
and var may not get sent coz exists only local to it’s use

maybe nonsense, just scanned tru quickly…

ya it’s weird… i was trying different things cause I coulnd’t get it to work…

when I trace(_root.area.getSelectedItem().label) it shows the right value… but when I do

areaofinterest = _root.area.getSelectedItem().label it sends blank… very very weird :frowning:

I EVEN tried doing a switch and case for each getting getSelectedIndex and then manually assigning areaofinterest to the corresponding value… but even THAT didn’t work…

and on top of everything if I put a default: in my switch that value actually GETS SENT BACK TO PHP properly… this doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to me… the only thing I get out of that is that maybe I get the number the wrong way or something… so instead of assigning to areaofinterest i put a trace for each number… and it worked!!!.. someone please explain this to me… lol

has anyone done a form with Checkboxes and Radio Buttons etc. and sent it to PHP after?..

I’d really love to look at your code to see what’s going on here.

Thank you
