Hi  
I just made my first contact form with flash MX. It works very well. But when I load the contact.swf into main movie, something goes wrong because I receive empty e-mails. If I run (only) contact.swf by itself, I’ll get e-mail with content. I’m pretty sure that this is a very simple case but I can’t solve it by myself. I would be very happy if someone helped me.

Thanking for advance

look at how you are referring to the movie that contact is being loaded into.  
if you’re doing something like:  
message = \_root.textbox.text;  
then you’ll probably want to do:  
message = \_root.content.textbox.text; //where content is the name of the movie the contact form is being loaded into.

Thanks for consideration

Sorry, but I can’t modify your tips in this case because I’m just a beginner in actioscripting. [http://www.sloop.fi/testi is the address of my site. Word “yhteystiedot” in the navigation bar means contact. [url=“http://www.sloop.fi/testi/yhteystiedot.html”]http://www.sloop.fi/testi/yhteystiedot.html](http://www.sloop.fi/testi) is the address where the contact form works.

**This is the code in the layer1 of contact.swf:**

function clrData(){  
this.formData.name = “”;  
this.nameIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.company = “”;  
this.companyIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.address = “”;  
this.addressIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.zip = “”;  
this.zipIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.city = “”;  
this.cityIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.phone = “”;  
this.phoneIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.email = “”;  
this.emailIn.text = “”;  
this.formData.message = “”;  
this.messageIn.text = “”;  
phone2In.setValue(false);  
letterIn.setValue(false);  
email2In.setValue(false);  
permissionIn.setValue(true);

}

function myOnLoad(success){  
errBox.setEnabled(true);  
if(success){  
errBox.setIcon(“info”);  
errBox.setTitle(“Kiitos”);  
errBox.setMessage(“Kiitos viestistäsi. Vastaamme sinulle mahdollisimman nopeasti”);  
errBox.\_visible=true;  
clrData();  
}  
else{  
errBox.setIcon(“Virhe”);  
errBox.setTitle(“Järjestelmävirhe”);  
errBox.setMessage(“Valitettavasti lähetyksen aikana havaittiin ongelmia. Ole hyvä täytä ja lähetä lomake uudelleen”);  
errBox.\_visible=true;  
}  
}  
function goPostal(){

errBox.setIcon(“info”);  
errBox.setTitle(“Viestiä lähetetään”);  
errBox.setMessage(“Viestiä lähetetään”);  
errBox.\_visible=true;  
errBox.setEnabled(false);  
formData.sendAndLoad(“[http://sloop.fi/cgi-bin/Cmail.cgi](http://sloop.fi/cgi-bin/Cmail.cgi)”, replyData, “post”);  
}

**And here’s the code in layer2 (contact.swf):**

formData = new LoadVars();  
formData.name = “”;  
formData.company = “”;  
formData.address = “”;  
formData.zip = “”;  
formData.city = “”;  
formData.phone = “”;  
formData.email = “”;  
formData.message = “”;  
formData.phone2 = “”;  
formData.letter = “”;  
formData.email2 = “”;  
formData.permission = “”;  
replyData = new LoadVars();  
replyData.onLoad = myOnLoad;  
globalStyleFormat.FMessageBoxTitleText = new TextFormat( “Arial Bold”, 15, 0xffffff);  
globalStyleFormat.applyChanges();  
errBox.setButtonWidth(50);

**This is the code of contact button in the main movie (main.swf):**

on (release) {  
loadMovieNum(“contact.swf”, 1);  
}

Thanks,
