getting formwidgets to send variables to Matts formmail.pl script !!

[thomasreimer]

Hi

Can someone help

I´m trying to get the formwidgets for flash 5 to work with matts Formmail.pl script. It works fine with ordinary textfieldvarialbles, but nothing happens when using the radiobuttons or check fields, when setting the label and state.

Should they be inside a movie ? and how do i tell it to set the variable, so the "loadVariables" command can send it off to the perlscript on the server?

I´ve tried for so long to get to work, also with the Flash MX form components, but no luck. I´d rather stay with the Flash 5 plugin for a bit, but i guess the solution will work in both..

Thanks whoever you are !!

Can you make the radiobuttons to "insert" (or send) text into "invisible" text-fields and the do the rest using those text-fields?

Also, are you using any handler functions in your radio buttons and check boxes?

[thomasreimer]

its like it lacks a field where you can "set variable" to pass on

Ok, let me ask you again: Are you using the Flash radio buttons and check boxes? And: are you using a handler function to determine what is happening to the radio buttons and stuff?

By using handler functions, is so easy to send variables from those components to text fields... (dynamic text fields, of course)

I´ve tried to write "onClick" in the handler funktion. nothing happens. Where could I find what options to put in this field?

The idea to make it send a variable to a text field outside the stage works fine if its an ordinary button. Then the loadvaiables sends the data to Matts script on the server, so if i only could make it update the textfield variable...
