I have a working Flash mailform that is pointing to Comcast’s form created when a generic website is built. When that generic form is used in html format a confirmation page pops up with a standard “Thank You, etc.”. I have a Flash thank you page built as well but it has nothing to do with what is going on on the server since I don’t know how to connect these two. So in case there is an error on the server’s side Flash will not detect it and the user will think his e-mail went through. Is there a way of writing a code that would take care or of it? The html address of the form that I’m addressing with Flash and the “Thank You” page is the same - just the contest changes. And here’s the source for the latter (not much to it but what is VLINK or LINK - they seem to be the only unique things in this code?):
