Ok, when I drag an Input text field, combo box, radio button, check box etc., onto the stage I can not set the “Var:” value for it I don’t even get an option for it.

Only when I create an input text box with the text tool do I get these options.

I’m creating a form and need to target the values of these field using the “var” names with actionscript and send them to a PHP script for emailing the results of the form to an email address defined by the php script.

I feel really stupid for not being able to solve this one myself but o well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx in advance.
