Hey,

I’m a first timer… and I need some help. My client got a flash template and had me modify it to his content. All went well except for one thing… the auto-email script.

I have the .php file. It sends e-mail just fine. The problem is with the flash.  
I have 3 input boxes, and I’m trying to extract the data from them. The problem is I cannot find the path to their content.

I have something like this now…  
sender\_mail = \_root.e.link5.semail.text

But when I use the “insert a target path” tool there is no text on the lists and in debug mode no matter what I put after that “=” i always get “undefined”.

Also in debug mode I see the values of the input boxes change as I change them…

I cannot get to the text… how do I do it… :diss:
