Put the info in variables in \_root when the submit button is clicked. It’ll then verify the info, and if it is incorrect, it returns to the form. At the frame where the form is at, add the code

\_root.nameinputfield = \_root.name;  
\_root.emailinputfield = \_root.email;  
etc.

Of course, at the beginning of your movieclip you have to set these vars to [COLOR=BLUE]""[/COLOR] cuz otherwise it might display \_level0.textbox or something like that. To do this, put this code in a frame before the form frame:

\_root.name = “”;  
\_root.email = “”;  
etc.

This will make the form display the text inside the variables.  
Now all we gotta do is put the info in the vars when the button  
is clicked.

For your submit button:

\_root.name = \_root.nameinputfield;  
\_root.email = \_root.emailinputfield;  
etc.

This should work. Haven’t got a chance to test cuz I ain’t got Flash here.

</div>

```php

<input type="text" name="number" value="<? echo $_POST['number'] ?>">

```

if number is null, then it won’t show anything. if number is not null then it will show the value of the variable number.

just send it back with header or something like that and it should work fine.
