I’m having a problem that I haven’t been able to find any info on the web about. In Flash MX I have a mail form (it is a request for order)… it contains a bunch of text fields, etc. everything works fine with my php script EXCEPT the one component I am using. I have the drop down component with a bunch of products to choose from, however I can’t seem to get that component to work with the php to send the product name desired in the email. If anyone could help me out that would be great, or if you know of a tut or any resource you could point me to I’d love it… as I said I’ve already searched, but to no avail. Peace ---

I looked at your post earilier today, and I really don’t know. I know I’ve seen this before: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/components.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/components.htm) It confused the hell out of me before, and I didn’t really look at it this time; however, I know how PHP works, and all it eats is variables. The script in that forum changes a variable. I think your answer lies there. Sorry I couldn’t be more help; I’ve never used those components…
