Using the tutorial about how to set up a form in flash using php to email the contents has led me to a snag. Everything works great, including the sending of email, except the onClipEvent(data) event handler. This is used on the form\_mc just like the tutorial explains, and when it is executed, flash is supposed to go to the next frame –

onClipEvent(data){nextframe();}

but this doesnt happen. flash just keeps trying to load something. i even posted the tutorial files on my server to see if they would work, but no dice.

here is the tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm)

and here are the files not working on my server:  
[http://www.704one.com/raf/email.swf](http://www.704one.com/raf/email.swf)

i have changed permissions on the php file – didnt work.

im thinking that i might need to use php to passs a variable back to flash after the mail() command has executed in php. but i dont know how.

any suggestions would be greatly appriciated…

thx
