Hello All,
I just attempted to install your kirupa_flash_php_email.zip flash email form and I ran into some problems. For everybody that has problems with the flash email form not going to the confirmation screen becasue you loaded it from inside another movie just change the _root to _parent and it works great inside of your main movie. But this problem is different it works fine sends a email but when I check the email it’s blank. looks excatly like this inside hotmail.

no message no from address only the static variables work. Any Ideas I believe it’s becasue of the same problem I explained above, I load this movie as a external movie into a big hompage.swf. it uses a placeholder “blank_movie” which loads email.swf which is your email form swf.
the FLA source looks like this
onClipEvent (data)
{
_parent.nextFrame();
}
and…
on (release)
{
form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);
}
and the php source looks like this
?php
$sendTo = “devils__crush@hotmail.com”;
$subject = “Web site reply”;
$headers = "From: " . $_POST[“name”] . “<” . $_POST[“email”] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST[“email”];
$message = $_POST[“message”] . "
";
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
any ideas, im new to flash but seem to be getting the hang of it pretty fast, but I believe this is a level problem and when it calls the variables it calls them from the main movie instead of the external movie which is the email form. I will watch this board but so far I seem to be the first who encountered this problem.
by the way I did try changing POST to GET and that didn’t seem to help either. Thanks for any help you could offer.
