[size=2]\*\*[font=Verdana][size=4][color=#003366][size=2]well i’ve tried everything i can think of to get this email form to work. I followed the email form in flash using PHP tutorial and the only thing i can think of as being the cause of the problem is that the contact form is within a movie clip and not on the main timeline. do i need to put a \_root. somewhere infront of the send button code to make this work? if so where?

whenever i test the form on my server it just seems to get stuck and never even move on to the thank you frame.

at the moment i ahve this script on the send button

[/size][/color][/size][/font]\*\*[/size]

```auto
on (release) {
	form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}

```

and this on the form movieclip

```auto

onClipEvent(data){
	_parent.nextFrame();
}

```
