I am trying to produce a simple form. Three input fields:

name  
email  
message

Two buttons

submit  
reset

I have done this kind of thing using FMX, but I can’t seem to get it to a simple thing like reset the field.

I have attached a file, There also does not seem to be much help out there for this.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

</div>

Give instance names to the 3 input text fields, like these:

name\_txt  
email\_txt  
message\_txt

Then, apply this script to a new layer named, let’s say, actions:

myButton.onRelease = function(){  
name\_txt.text = “”;  
email\_txt.text = “”;  
message\_txt.text = “”;  
}

Do something similar for submit button:

submitBtn.onRelease = function(){

name = name\_txt.text  
email = email\_txt.text  
message = message\_txt.text

//and then send variables to wherever you want to use them

}

good luck
