hi guys, i’ve been looking around everywhere and i can’t find an working answer for my problem. 1st off, i downloaded the source files for the tutorial, uploaded them to my server to see if they worked:
http://www.nerdperfect.net/test/email.swf
and tested it out and it works fine! BUT!
then i created my own form using the tutorial.
My form is in a movieclip (_root.formMC.[COLOR=“Red”]form[/COLOR]) within a swf file ([COLOR=“Red”]contactForm.swf[/COLOR]) that loads into a container clip ([COLOR=“Red”]_root.ccontainer[/COLOR]) in my main movie ([COLOR=“Red”]website.swf[/COLOR]). The submit button is in the same movieclip as my form moveclip (_root.formMC.[COLOR=“Red”]submitB[/COLOR]).
My form consists of only text Input fields. I’ve named each field 2 different ways and tested each. first by instance names and then by var names.
the variable names for the fields are as follows:
customerName
customerEmail
bandName
bandMemNum
metalType
hailFrom
msn
currentSite
likeDislike
fiveSites
serviceType
metalMuse
fiveCovers
existingContent
mp3s
I’ve then created a PHP file that emails the variables to my email address and to the user’s email address.
here is the php script:
<?php
//variables aquired from the form
$custName = $_POST["customerName"];
$custEmail = $_POST["customerEmail"];
$bandName = $_POST["bandName"];
$bandMemNum = $_POST["bandMemNum"];
$metalType = $_POST["metalType"];
$hailFrom = $_POST["hailFrom"];
$msn = $_POST["msn"];
$currentSite = $_POST["currentSite"];
$likeDislike = $_POST["likeDislike"];
$fiveSites = $_POST["fiveSites"];
$serviceType = $_POST["serviceType"];
$metalMuse = $_POST["metalMuse"];
$fiveCovers = $_POST["fiveCovers"];
$existingContent = $_POST["existingContent"];
$mp3s = $_POST["mp3s"];
//end variables aquired from the form
//
//auto-responder
$to = $custEmail;
$subject = "?????????? Contact Form - Auto Responder";
$body="Thank You $custName for submiting your request, Mobius received the following information:

";
mail($to_2,$subject_2,$body_2);
//end email send to nerdperfect
the actionscript on the submit button is:
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("contactForm.php","POST");
}
the confirmation that the email was sent/actionscript is on the MC called form (_root.formMC.[COLOR=“Red”]form[/COLOR]):
onClipEvent (data) {
_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("11");
}
Now, here’s my problem. The form does send the email, this is what i recieve:
has submited a request:
Customers name:
's part of a band named which has members and they play style music
's Email Address Is:
Hails From:
's MSN email address is so we can chat business.
's current web site is: http://
said you like and dislike this about your current website: n
. n
's 5 favorite websites are:
requested this service of Mobius:

's 5 favorite Album covers are:
When asked if has any existing content, logo’s etc that they would like us to add to their site, listed:
has MP3’s they can contribute?
Contact within 48 hours from recieving this email.
So what gives, obviously the sumbit button is calling up my php.script and my php scriipt is sending the email, but where are the variables?
I’ve added the FLA to look at. Keep in mind this fla produces a swf that loads dynamicly into a section swf that loads into a main swf so the total path to the form would be something like this:
mainmovie.swf.ccontainer>
contact.swf.contactcontainer>
strippedcontactForm.swf.contactFormMC.formMC.[COLOR=“Red”]form[/COLOR]
if that makes sense :)(i know that wouldn’t work in AS:) this path is more a windows meets AS :P)
If any of you can figure this out i will HUG the snot outta you!!!
