Hi guys, I’m having some trouble with an email form i’ve made for a site i’m working on which uses loadVariablesNum to post the email variables to the server, which uses a pretty simple ASP script to send the email. But when i click the send button to send the variables to the server, absolutely nothing happens! I get no response from the server, nor does any email reach the target. I’ve also tried using a similar PERL script to do the same thing, but I get the same results. I am using Flash MX2004, and I’m wondering if I need the Pro version in order to do this since I can’t seem to find any other reason as to why this doesn’t work because it’s reasonably simple. Please help! Any ideas?

Well your server won’t send anything back to flash unless you tell it to.

Have you read this tutorial?

Also, it won’t make a difference what version of Flash you are using.

But I can tell ya, stop using loadVariablesNum(). LoadVars() is much better.

Upload your files ( .FLA & .ASP ), and let’s see what’s going on
