Forms in a Movie Clip

programming flash
1

I’ve created a form with validation and it works. Problem is when I place it in a movie clip, then place that movie clip on my timeline. The form no longer works? Any ideas on why this may be happening?

Probably a relative adress problem…
Do you have any _root reference in the code?

I sure don’t. Here’s the code. . .
[AS]//MY VALIDATION FUNCTIONS
function vEmail(){
if(formData.submit_by == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“You Must Fill In Your Email Address”);
return false;}
else{
if(formData.submit_by.indexOf(".",0) == -1 || formData.submit_by.indexOf("@",0) == -1){
errBox.setMessage(“Your Email Address Is Not In Correct Form”);
return false;}
else{
return true;}
}
}

function vfirstName(){
if (formData.first == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your first name”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vlastName(){
if (formData.last == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your last name”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vAddress(){
if (formData.address == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“You must enter a valid Address”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vCity(){
if (formData.city == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your city”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vState(){
if (formData.state == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your state”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

function vZip(){
if (formData.postal == “”){
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s, you forgot to fill in your zip code”);
return false; }
else {
return true};
}

//MY CLEAR ALL INPUT FIELDS FUNCTION FOR MY ‘CLEAR’ BUTTON
function clrData(){
this.formData.submit_by = “”;
this.email.text = “”;
this.formData.first = “”;
this.firstname.text = “”;

}

//MY REPLY FUNCTION AFTER MESSAGE IS SUCCESSFULLY OR UNSUCCESSFULLY SENT
function myOnLoad(success){
errBox.setEnabled(true);
if(success){
errBox.setIcon(“info”);
errBox.setTitle(“Thank You”);
errBox.setMessage(“Thank You for joining the BCBG mailing list.”);
errBox._visible=true;
clrData();
}
else{
errBox.setIcon(“warning”);
errBox.setTitle(“System Error”);
errBox.setMessage(“Oop’s an error occured while submitting. Please try again.”);
errBox._visible=true;
}
}

//MY SUBMIT FUNCTION TO SEND ALL INFORMATION TO MY SCRIPT SERVER SIDE
function goPostal(){
if(!vEmail()) {errBox._visible=true;return;}

errBox.setIcon("info");

errBox.setMessage("Your Email Is Being Submitted");

formData.sendAndLoad("http://www.bcbg.com/js/flashmailscript.php", replyData, "post");
