Hi fellas. I have a small issue when using a small online form in flash. When submit is clicked the form is supposed to pass the data to one of 4 different PHP files depending on what member type is chosen from a dropdown menu.

It seems that my script is just going through the first item in my else if loop.  
the code i have is as follows:

submit.onRelease=function(){  
var action:String = “”;

```
// validation
    if (!id.length) {
    status = "Please enter membership id number.";
} 

else if (!fee.length) {
    status = "Please enter charge for services rendered.";
} 

```

else {

```
    status = "";
    // contact info

```

member = memtype.selectedItem;  
memid = id.text;  
type = visit.selectedItem;  
amount = fee.text;  
inv = invoice.text;  
//load variables to and call server-side script  
trace(memtype.selectedItem);  
if(memtype.selectedItem=“Senior Cardholder”){  
loadVariablesNum (“[http://mysite.com//code/Svisitations.php](http://mysite.com//code/Svisitations.php)”, “0”, “Post”);  
status = “Uploading visitation data to Svis…”;  
}  
else if(memtype.selectedItem=“Family Cardholder”){  
loadVariablesNum (“[http://mysite.com/code/Fvisitations.php](http://mysite.com/code/Fvisitations.php)”, “0”, “Post”);  
status = “Uploading visitation data to Fvis database…”;  
}  
else if(memtype.selectedItem=“Personal Cardholder”){  
loadVariablesNum (“[http://mysite.com/code/visitation\_test.php](http://mysite.com/code/visitation_test.php)”, “0”, “Post”);  
status = “Uploading visitation data to Pvis…”;  
}  
else if(memtype.selectedItem=“Corporate Cardholder”){  
loadVariablesNum (“[http://mysite.com/code/Cvisitations.php](http://mysite.com/code/Cvisitations.php)”, “0”, “Post”);  
status = “Uploading visitation data to Cvis…”;  
}

```
}

```

}  
stop();

\*\*thanks fellas in advance!
