I’ve got a bit of a problem here.

In Flash i’ve created an email form. The form is in a movie clip (emailformholder) on an information page.

On the website this information page is loaded into a movie clip named content in the main website window. It sends the information off fine but doesn’t move to the “send” frame:

on (release) {  
form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);  
emailformholder.gotoAndStop(“sent”);  
}

but when i add the root or parent codes to enable the gotoandstop “sent” to work (shown below) the email stops getting sent whilst the movie clip moves to “sent” state?

on (release) {  
form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);  
\_parent.emailformholder.gotoAndStop(“sent”);  
}

on (release) {  
form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);  
\_root.content.emailformholder.gotoAndStop(“sent”);  
}

i tried adding the root and parent extensions to the

form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);

but couldn’t get that to work either.

Any actionscript expert willing to tell me where im going wrong???
