Fantastic :) Thank you so much.

Thanks for the tutorials, all very informative. I have one question tho. I have built a contact form for my site following your vid and all works fine except I have the mail directed to a hotmail account and the message looks as though it has an attachment but nothing is actually attached. For some reason hotmail really dislikes this as it appears "suspicious" and they delete the messages after 10 days (they give no option to mark as safe). Any ideas how I could solve this problem?

Thanks again

Here's what the line looks like:

if(name_txt.length) {

[Jubileejones]

HI! I couldn't find the source file for this tut on your site! I followed along with the tut but it didn't work for me so I wanted to see what I was missing. I have a form with four combo boxes that need coding.

[KeepoffdaGrass]

I am getting the following error: Access of undefined property varloader. The script for that line reads: varloader.addEventListener(Eve­nt.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

for some reason I can't get this error message to go away even after watching the video 5 more times. Please help.

[nermin123]

hi great work,

But the php doesn't not send any e-mail to me, I have changed the e-mail but I don't get anything when I test this file

can someone explain?

thanks

[nermin123]

Hi, great work,

But when I test the form, and sent a e-mail to myself, I don't get anything, how can this be? I have only changed the e-mail nothing more.

thanks

var bmp:Bitmapdata = new BitmapData(stage.width, stage.height, true, 0x000000);

bmp.draw(stage);

var bytes:Bytearra = PNGEncoder.encode(bmp);

var fr.FileReference = new FileReference();

fr.save(bytes, "testImage");

}

the code above is also using a PNGEncoder import class to produce a PNG image, is there a way to use a PHP file to transfer this customized image through email or to a dynamic web page?

Example have sent to a email or displayed on a web page after a save button has been pressed?

[ratdoghippy]

DUDE! I can not tell you how this has helped me so much!

yes this was a huge help out of all the flash training DVD videos and books sitting here n my desk I could have spent hours just trying find this exact info, I found it here in just a few minutes and got exactly what I needed to know!

[webmastertool]

To clean the combobox you can use

comboBoxInstanceName.setSelect­edIndex(0);

[yamincito]

Hi...very nice tutorial...

can you add a color picker in de form to send to email too?

or Browse and Upload Files in this hole form?

Thax for your help

[sakuraness]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you <3

[techkniffen]

i cant get this to work.

ive gone over the code and processs 3 times now.

only difference is that i am using cs4.

but i always get error on lines 46,47 and 48.

anybody know why?

[UnHinged2020]

MCVDIGITAL: do you realise that there is a PHP program needed to take the variables and send the email?

[UnHinged2020]

MCVDIGITAL: He means that the php file, the flash files that has the contact form in it and the html form HAS to be in the same level of the directory (all in the same folder as each other).

This is not true as you can change the path to the php document in the actionscript if you want to keep the php parser inside another folder. He explains at the end that you can write scripts/php_parser.php if you would like to keep the form parser in a folder called scripts.

[mcvdigital]

"and it has to be sitting in your server, in the same directory as your swf file and your html file that holds that swf file." what does he mean by that? i dont get it. i think thats the reason why its not working so somebody please tell me what he means by that.

[kiccoilvero]

Thank you, Your tutorial solved my problem.

[watersparkles]

I tried 4 tutorials before trying yours... finally one works! Worked for me on the first try. Love it, love, LOVE IT! THANK YOU!

[kontrhovercie]

First, thanks so much for this great tutorial! I got everything loaded and seemed to be working, but the results arent sending to my email account...Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this issue?

[PigBoT007]

Excellent. I appreciate the detailed explanations.

Everything is working great and, I am getting return values to my flash from the PHP. BUT the e-mail is not making it to my inbox. I've tried different e-mail accounts. Does this mean that my server is somehow blocking the e-mail?

[naeemdal]

thnxx for the help Sir

[SupremeCatalyst]

hi i was wondering if you could offer some help? i loaded the files into the public_html folder on my server but when i click submit the proccessing clip flashes but nothing else happens?

[flashbuilding]

That means it cannot find or communicate with the PHP script. The

The following could cause issues:

1. PHP file not there

2. PHP file not in right place

3. PHP file has errors

4. Server does not parse or run PHP

If it connects to PHP and PHP has no errors you will see data come back to flash and the flashing thing stop.

Also try to write the full URL to the PHP file from flash to assure connection:

Example-- htt....ww....yoursite... com

[SupremeCatalyst]

awesome thanks for the help! i got it to work.. dont mean to pick your brain but do you know how to let people upload to send it like an attachment in an email?

[northern2007]

I've made a flash site and I have a contact form as two separate flash files; how do I put the contact form on the main flash site? do I add it as another scene? because it is a group of layers.

[koustavbhowmik]

ok..tutorial was good..i liked that..But there is a problem in that script when i'm trying to

load varsend variable and send it to php...the comment was.... varLoader.load=(varSend)...but when i'm trying to write that in cs4 AC3..then it gives me error..so i solved it myself...and it'll be ....

varLoader.load(varSend).......­thanks for the tutorial

[FNDannyboy1]

if someone could please give me some advice that would be awesome because its driving me insane!! haha thanks

[FNDannyboy1]

Yeah I am, in the .swf the boxes go invisible and the only way you would know they are there is that the cursor as u hover over the areas becomes a text cursor

[Rubil285]

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in

[Armeniansforlife]

Great Tutorial, theres one thing that you dont have on the contact from, i was wondering how you can let people send a file with the contact from like a jpg image

[Ciudadmx]

I have paid for a VERY expensive course and I didnt learn what I did today thanks to your MAGNIFICENT tutorial! Thanks you very much!!

btw- can you link the tutorial where you teach the form from scratch?

thanks a lot!

[benazio]

hello, can you tell me how to send the data to a txt file ? so we can work on it offline.. because i need it for my exam please :(

[antonioalbagli]

hi, the tutorial really helped, now, I'm getting an error in the following line:

function completeHandler(event:EVENT):v­oid{

The error reads:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: EVENT.

I tried to import the class (import flash.events.Event) but the error persists

I'm kind of new to this so I wouldn't be surprised if it was something really simple. Any suggestions?

[Ciudadmx]

I think your error is thatyou typed "v oid" instead of "void"

[sveiludv]

Can i only be a space to much? v oid-->void

Hello Adam,

Your tutorials have become a great asset. First of all thank you for your priceless info. This particular tutorial threw me a little. The male radio group label does not change the text to male when published... can you comment on how to fix this. Thank you .

Tutorial Fiends United,

Mr Raidge

[sabaqahmad361]

nice tutorial

[trigger1116]

thanks FLASHBUILDING...you're an angel...i also downloaded this tutorial but i promise you it's just for personal use and when i'm offline..i'm a student learning Multimedia arts..

[flashbuilding]

No sweat... thanks... hope it works well for you...

[axelove15]

holy crap 58 minutes

[canadacurtis]

Such an awesome video, learned so much. :D Very easy to follow along, etc...

[razorath82]

How'd you make your video over 54 minutes?I mean,I don't know how you did that I mean,I thought a length for a Youtube video is supposed to be 10 minutes,so how'd you make it longer than 10 minutes?

[sentimentalvalla]

10-minute vids are for regular youtube users. U gotta be a Director, etc. it's just a matter of Selectin' ur Role when u create ur account.

[rekeen01]

this was perfect thanks!!!

Also, what program are you using where the mouse is highlighted yellow and the mouse shows that red animation when you click? Thanks

[flashbuilding]

Glad you liked it... I use Camtasia [not free] sometimes, and sometimes Camstudio[free]. I like both, and both record in HQ and HD.

[Ieclipze]

Another thing! it looks like you have custom stylesheets or something.. The textboxes dont look the same for me.. dont have any shadow inside or anything

[jmusse]

Hey, I love how intricate you are in your videos and how you explain everything step by step. I have my site I'm trying to create properly but don't know AS3. So far it's built with AS2 but I know I need AS3 for certain FLV capabilities. One of the things I can't do is make a Movie Clip pop up AFTER the video finishes playing but I still want the video still there in its last frame. Can you help or post a tutorial on this? Thanks man. Your tutorials are the best I've ever seen. Thanks in advance

[flashbuilding]

I'll see what I can do... and thanks for the praise!

[jmusse]

Yea, thanks. If you look at the link to my site, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I have these beautifully built 3D animation running via FLV but the sub content that shows up, comes in too soon. I'd actually like it if the stuff that needs to come up, comes up after the 3D animation stops. I know that you know what I'm talking about so I'll stop writing right about now. Thanks in advance...again.
