Hi guys this is my first post!

I created a flash form which collected data and sent it to an asp file which inturn sent it to me as an email. (for my website).

The form worked fine, as a standalone swf file, BUT now its not working since i did this:

instead of running it as a standalone file, im now trying to run it inside a main, bigger swf file, as a movieclip.Its running inside a movieclip called ‘Movieclipcontainer.’ And as a result its no longer working!

I havent changed my actionscript, and im thinking I probably need to! but i dont know what changes need to be made.  
Here is the actionscript on the form:

onClipEvent(data){  
// show welcome screen  
gotoAndPlay(“brochure”, 46);  
}

and here is the script on the send button:

on (release) {  
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)  
// to email PHP page which will send the mail  
form.loadVariables(“brochure.asp”, “POST”);  
}

Any tips/help is much needed and appreciated!  
Finally i dont know if its a dynamci/input text iusse maybe?

Thanks guys  
Geraint

i made a php-driven flash-form yesterday, using this tutorial:  
[http://www.flashfocus.nl/showDetail.asp?TypeId=13&NewsId=5798](http://www.flashfocus.nl/showDetail.asp?TypeId=13&NewsId=5798)

it worked perfect! (you need to login to download the fla-file, but if you want, i can mail you the file…)

hope this helps

yes, if you could email it to [ger@breathe.com](mailto:ger@breathe.com) that would be great!

But my real problem is the action script working inside a movie clip.

I have the same problem with the form mail php script…

```php

onClipEvent(data){
  gotoAndPlay("scene34");
}

```

That won’t work inside a movieclip… anyone know a workaround?
