Passing / Storing Variables PLLLLEEEASE HELP!

1

Hey folks,

I am soooo close to finishing my first AS3 site but I have a niggeling problem which has meant I have done nothing in days and I would really appreciate some help if possible.

I would like to have a multiple page form on the main timeline which is communicating to a php form. I am toiling to understand how to collate my variables from each page (or frame). The other thing i would like to do is have the function that if a visitor clicks back, the information inputed into the form is still visible or re-appears.

Below is a copy of my working code for my 1 page contact form which I can get my head around. If anyone could explain the process or send me in the right direction i’d be sooooooooooooooooo gratefull.

Thanks a million folks
