Hi, I’ve searched the site and wasn’t able to find a tutorial on how to be able to submit forms. You know how you can get the users name and email and a nice submit button to submit the stuff. I would love to know how to do that…any tutorials, examples ? plz help. thanks… ---

It functions just like any non-flash form - use PHP or ASP or CGI. Try creating a simple form, here’s a tutorial: [www.flashkit.com/tutorial…ndex.shtml](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Getting_Started/The_Idio-Gareth_D-531/index.shtml) Maybe that will give you an idea. ---

Renn- You wouldn’t happen to know how to make a site search engine in Dreamweaver would you? Or at all? It is one of the last little projects I need to do for my site before I publish it. pj 😛 ---

I would prefer to do it in ASP…you may try to go to: [www.aspin.com](http://www.aspin.com) Then search for “Search Engine” or something…im sure you will find something there bud 😉 ---

I don’t know how cgi scripts work, but with php, you’ll have to put your texts in a database 😃 . At least that’s the way I did it. pom 0] ---

No ASP? Ouch, well…try to do it in php then. I dont program in php much so I cant give you any guide lines for that, but I will answer any questions you have though.
