Help! Flash MX PHP output coding problems

programming flash

I am set up with yourmailinglistprovider.com and they have given me their html code for submitting to their php file. here is threir html code:

html code not php


<form method=post action=http://www.yourmailinglistprovider.com/subscribe.php?larhymes>
<table border=0>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Fill out your emailaddress<br> to receive our newsletter!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type=text name=YMP[0] size=20 maxlength=50></td>
<td><input type=submit value=Submit name=submit></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2><font size=1 face=arial><input type=radio name=action value=subscribe CHECKED> Subscribe<input type=radio name=action value=unsubscribe>Unsubscribe</font></td>
</table>
</form>

Here is the problem. I don’t want to use html, I want the guest to submit from flash and I am having trouble translating the html tags to flash. Can someone give me a hand? I have gotten the submit to post but on my mailing list there is a blank entry.

The things that need to be output are the email adress, submit value, action value. I don’t even want the user to see the submit, and action values, just the email address box, but they have to be sent never the less.

hope that was clear, thanks in advance.[

Search the forums, Jubba did a tut on sending variables from Flash to PHP.
Go to the tutorials section of Kirupa and look at the tut :

www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/components.htm

Here the components supplied in Flash are used, but I think there is a text field there which you should be able to apply . . .

this url should help you out.

http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/html_forms/index2.shtml

just use the php file location they provided (ie. http://www.yourmailinglistprovider.com/subscribe.php?larhymes).
