I downloaded a flash template recently to familiarise myself with flash.  
I managed to kind of understand how the template works.

However i cannot get the contact form to work?  
The form has the following input boxes -

first name (variable name t01)  
last name (variable name t02)  
email address (variable name t03)  
telephone number (variable name t04)  
comments box (variable name t05)

Am i right in thinking that the contact form forwards to a CGI form such as FormMail?

Also what Actionscript do i add to the send button?

I hope someone can help please?

Bash.

Was it already set up to send to the email script? If so, there should be some code somewhere for the submit button.

I managed to find the code for the Clear and Send buttons.

The Clear button has the following code -

[COLOR=red]on (release) {  
\_parent.t01 = “”;  
\_parent.t02 = “”;  
\_parent.t03 = “”;  
\_parent.t04 = “”;  
\_parent.t05 = “”;  
}[/COLOR]

unfortunately there is no code for the Send button.

Would this code do for the Send button? -

[COLOR=red]on (release) {  
if (t01 eq “” or t02 eq “” or t03 eq “” or t04 eq “” or t05 eq “”) {  
stop ();  
} else {  
loadVariablesNum (“form.php”, 0, “POST”);  
gotoAndStop (2);  
}  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]I have already tried this Send button code but it does not do anything!! Any help would be appreciated please!!![/COLOR]

I’m getting a little desperate now!!!

Flash templates are always insanely hard to modify, I suggest doing things yourself or getting someone you know to do one. LoadViablesNum is the code going to your script yes.

Since you are familarizing yourself with flash couple thing I should point out.

1. the “eq” string operator has been depreciated since Flash 5 what you may want to do is does a search on this forum for contact forms…
