I am trying to modify this tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm) I am trying to make the code into a function so that I can place it in a frame instead of attaching it to a mc. I would appreciate any help. problem areas: onClipEvent(data){ this.sendSent.text = “MESSAGE WAS SENT”; this.textEmail.text = “EMAIL”; this.textSubject.text = “SUBJECT”; this.textName.text = “NAME”; this.textMessage.text = “MESSAGE”; } on (release) { // send variables in form movieclip (the textfields) // to email PHP page which will send the mail this.\_parent.form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”); } ---

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Ok, thank you. I would like to make the movie size smaller and I want to have all the actionscript in and on frame 1. The only problem I am having with that is when it confirms that the input fields are correctly filled, it boots you to frame 5 and gives this:[/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [size=3][font=Times New Roman]loadVariablesNum(mailform, 0);[/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]answer = confirm;[/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Then it immediately goes into a loop on frame 6:[/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [size=3][font=Times New Roman]if (answer != confirm) {[/font][/size] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] gotoAndPlay (“done”);[/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]}[/size][/font] [size=3][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/size] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]I really don’t need help with arranging the input and dynamic fields onto one frame, but I do need help with the AS.[/size][/font] ---

Why do you want all the actions on 1 frame? just dump it into a clip and place it on the timeline… ---

I had spoken to soon. I have a little problem with the AS recieving information from the php file when I put it in a MC. It still sends the email to my account and the reply to the sender, but the “answer” var dynamic text box only gives the message: please wait for confrimation… I’ve atached the file. ---
