Components and Email Form Tutorial?

programming flash
1

Hi,

After hours of searching and playing around with various tutorials, Im not having much luck, and am getting quite frustrated.

I have a simple form with a name input field, a dropdown combo box, and a main enquiry box with scrollbar. These are all components (I dont want to use a regular input box, as I want to keep the form looking consistent). Then I want this to email using a php file.

Are there any tutorials that explain how to do EXACTLY these things? All the tutes Ive seen so far seem to have some of these things, but not all.

Thanks

still not having any luck.

If anyone wants to finish off the file I have started, it would be much appreciated:

is quite easy once you make a couple forms. If you are a web designer by trade you will soon realize just how many of these you have to create.

Im not sure is this is discussed in the tutorial but to pick up data from combo boxes use this method on your submit button,

var comboBoxName = comboQuantity.getSelectedItem().label;

your var will be the same as your php variable. comboQuantity represents the variable name given to the combo box.

you just have to modify in the php code
$to = escapeshellcmd($to); with $_POST[‘to’] = escapeshellcmd($_POST[‘to’]); and so on to all variables

but that tutorial uses simple input text boxes. I need to use components, and only components! Ive made plenty of regular flash forms with php before, this is not what I need to know how to do.

It must be with components!
