ASP Form from Flash

[wish7]

Hi everyone...I hope everybody had an excellent Christmas!!! I loved the time spent with my family!!!

Anyways, I created a form in Flash to put information into a database. It works fine except for the processing page pops up everytime I submit. What do I do to stop this?

Post your Flash code, and we might be able to help ;)

use sendAndLoad instead of just send. I had the same problem.
just use the process page to report back wether or not the info was entered correctly.

Here is the code in the flash doc:

function onClick(btn) {
if (btn == submit_btn) {
getURL("../processForm.asp", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop("thanx");
} else if (btn == reset_btn) {
fName = "";
lName = "";
email = "";
comments = "";
}
}

[norie]

sendVars = new LoadVars();
getVars = new LoadVars();
getVars.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
if(this.entered == "true"){
gotoAndStop("thanx");
}else{
trace("Data Entered Succesfully");
}
}else{
trace("ASP Error");
}
}
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
sendVars.fName = fName;
sendVars.lName = lName;
sendVars.email = email;
sendVars.comments = comments;
sendVar.sendAndLoad("../processForm.asp", getVars, "POST");
};
reset_btn.onRelease = function(){
fName = "";
lName = "";
email = "";
commments = "";
}

make sure your asp page returns a value for entered of true if the data was entered correctly and false if not.

edit: please use '[code]' tags around your actionscript when posting, it makes it easier to read for us :beam:

Thanx norie, but whne I entered that code nothing happened. Am I supposed to change anything? I have been looking at it in an attempt to understand. I am pretty new at the actionscript. What exactly is this code saying and doing?

I really prefer the:

actionscript:

submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
sendVars.fName = fName;
sendVars.lName = lName;
sendVars.email = email;
sendVars.comments = comments;
sendVar.sendAndLoad("../processForm.asp", getVars, "POST");
};
reset_btn.onRelease = function(){
fName = "";
lName = "";
email = "";
commments = "";

It gives me a better understanding of how things work. Thank you so much for the help!

I already looked at that tut, but it doesn't tell you how to keep the window from popping up!

ahh but yes it does my friend, your using getURL. the tut states you should use loadvariableNum



loadVariableNum("../processForm.asp", 0, "POST");

I stand corrected! Thanx!

No problem, i didn't know what you meant at first or I would have just said this from the beginning. :)

Happy New Year!!!!!
