I’m building this site: [http://www.thepartymachine.com/](http://www.thepartymachine.com/) and am having a HUGE problem with adding a contact form.

The way my pages are set up, they’re in a layer that has a keyframe labeled with a section name and then like 15 frames and a stop at the end of each section. so, the buttons, for example, say “on (release){  
sections.gotoAndPlay(“rates”);  
}”

No matter what I do I cannot get a form to work. I can get the email to work, but it won’t play the next screen that says “thanks for submitting”. The go to and play next/previous frame does not work at all. There is not an incorrect stop action anywhere (that I can find).

I’ve tried several tutorials but this one seems most promising: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm) It always works when I make it in a different flash project. It makes me think there must be some sort of code that is conflicting in my party machine website.

I really need a contact form and I don’t know what to do. Any ideas? If anyone thinks they can help but need to see it, if you post your email or send me an email at [allison.cassels@gmail.com](mailto:allison.cassels@gmail.com) I’ll send you the source file. Thanks

What I usually do is putting the whole contact form into a separate movie clip.  
When you stop on a main timeline the movie clip has still it’s own timeline and everything works fine. You can see a working example at [http://www.gpinvestments.com.pl/en/kontakt.php](http://www.gpinvestments.com.pl/en/kontakt.php)  
Try searching the web for friends of ed PHP5 and Flash, my form is based on their example from the book. I think you can grab the code without buying a book from the website.
