Arrrrrggghhhh!!!!!!

[smanley]

Can somebody please please please please help me!

I have been pulling my hair out for about two weeks trying to get a flash contact form to work on my site!!! I'm at my wits end now!

Please can someone help me.

The contact flash form on Kirupa Tutorials is fantastic it works absolutely perfect on its own in its own flash file.

I've tried then actually putting it into my website and its a different story - entirely my fault I know.


I've put the form into its own movieclip and attaching it thru attachMovie (using correct extensions ie. _root.menu_mc. etc etc....)

And I've also tried using the Loader from the Components panel.
This calls on an external SWF (the contact form in its own flash file). This way partially works - it will send the form but not jump to the 'thankyou your message has been sent' screen.

Can someone please please help me!!!

I'm not a quitter but this is absolutely killing me! And its sunny outside!!!!!!!

Hi smanley welcome.

1.) This is the wrong forum to post questions. Use one of the Flash Forums (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6) instead in the future.
2.) Your thread title of "Arrrrrggghhhh!!!!!!" does not really tell anyone anything, try to be more descriptive in the future ;)

3.) To answer your question with the information provided it sounds like a scope/target issue and or perhaps even a case where your using _root in your contact form swf and its conflicting etc.. If you are using root you can try to use _lockroot (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=flash+lockroot&btnG=Google+Search) to try to get around your problem. If its not a _root conflict issue, then look into figuring out the proper scope/target path of things. Google - flash target path (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=flash+target+path&btnG=Search).

Cheers for the site appreciation! this last part is killing me and my entire life!

Yes...

I've copied to the tee Kirupa's contact form I just need to know how to put it into a flash document not just standing on its own.... ie attach it thru a movieclip or external swf.

When you click send it will send the message to my email - BUT it wont tell the user it has which looks really bad! So they could click 15 times send me 15 msgs and not know about it?

The contact form is created in its own .FLA published to its own .SWF
The main site has a Loader component which calls the contact.SWF (ie loading external swf) into it.

That doesn't work - but i think it should!!

I've also tried attaching it as a movie clip but that does't work!!

If you know anyone who has succesfully worked this please please let me know

i'll send you the source files if you want x

The Title was intended to grab attention from a helpful soul in my hour of need :ninja:
