email form

[urban65]

Hi people

Can anyone tell me why my email form will work fine when I preview it
seperatly but not when embedded within my site, I mean check out [L=On its
own]http://www.clearworld.co.uk/mail2/movie5.swf[/L] that works fine

Now check out [L=Embedded within the rest of the
site]http://www.clearworld.co.uk/ims27/[/L] the email gets sent but it doesn't
display a message

Both are the same swf file, I think it has something to do with how I am
loading the external swf files into the main one

Here is the code for loading my external movies

stop()
//loadMovie("movie0.swf", "paper")
loadMovieNum("home_4.swf", 1)
dummy._visible = false
mcArray = [mc0, mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5]

// mcArray[1].number_txt.text = "WHO WE ARE
// mcArray[2].number_txt.text = "WHAT WE DO
// mcArray[3].number_txt.text = "WHY CHOOSE US
// mcArray[4].number_txt.text = "RESOURCE CENTRE
// mcArray[5].number_txt.text = "CONTACT US
onEnterFrame = function ()
mcArray[5].box._alpha = 100
// transparency setting for Contact U
mcArray[4].box._alpha = 90

And here is the code for sending the playhead to the display message on the
movie5.swf page

// set two variables, subject and recipient, in this movieclip to send to th
// perl script. Set variable rstatus to blank
onClipEvent(load)
subject = "Email Form submitted from the Site"
recipient = "info@lee-wilson.co.uk"
_root.rstatus = ""


// loop until rstatus has some value (meaning the perl script sent one back
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
if (_root.rstatus ne "")
_root.gotoAndStop("display")

all paths in the SWF to external files must be relative to the HTML file
that contains the SWF, not to the SWF itself.

hmmm ,maybe make the "loadmovie" a complete link ? with http:// [url]www.etcetera[/url], etcetera

[Big abraham]

i meant the loadmovienum not the loadmovie , sorry..

[urban65]

I dont think its the loading of the movies that is the problem,

I think its the actual referencing of the contact form (the second block of code above)

Thanks

[cybirnun]

i have succussfully created a firm and it gets emailed to me. The only
problem is, it does not show who it is from, therefore spamkiller deletes it.
what do i need to put in the code so that it shows who it's from?

please help

What method are you using to send the email? There must be a provision to
add a sender's email address there.

I'm thinking about creating a form that allows visitors to a page to be
able to email friends/themselves/etc info about products they see. I'm
going to include a link from a cfm page, but was wondering if anyone had
any thoughts on:

1) Making the page a pop-up style window that users would just fill in
their email info/name/etc, that will close and take them back to the
page they were just looking at.

or -

2) Have the link take them to a completely seperate page, non-pop up
that they can fill out and then be taken back to the product they were
just looking at.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Steve

Either way would work.

Or you could build a form in flash (ie just a text field and submit button),
and then use remoting with CF to send the email in the background. Then you
wouldn't need to load any new pages!

[Steve Grosz]

I'm not sure what you mean by the Flash form. I'm just now working with
CF7. And remoting? Can you clarify?

I'm thinking about passing the product info to the form when I call it.

I meant actually build a form in Macromedia Flash. This produces a .swf file
that you can embed in your page. You can get Flash to talk to CF via Flash
Remoting. Flash remoting is a service built in to the ColdFusion Application
Server. You can access CFC methods via Flash Remoting. So in this instance you
could allow someone to enter an email address via the flash movie and it would
access the CFC that would send the email.

I need to visitors to my site to be able to fill out a form, hit submit and
have the entire form emailed back so that I can print it out and file it. I
see lots of forms that email whatever was in the form fields but I need the
entire form intact for my files

Any help would be appreciated

Have you thought about creating a PDF form with Acrobat?
