Hi all,
I have searched the Interent and written to several forums
asking this same question however no one either seems to know the
answer or just does not want to advise me in any way. I have
however had a few responses however none of them paid off.
My Question:
I am in the process of creating a flash website and I am on
the last little function I wish to provide. I want to create a
flash contact us form as some people might not have an email client
set up therefore I don't want to just but a mailto URL in.
I have built the form and named the input text boxes, and
believe I have most of the action script complete. I need to know
how to use Coldfusion to validate the flash form and then send the
email with the form data in it. As far as I can understand in flash
I create a LoadVars method which puts all the form data in this and
when the user click the submit button flash should send the
loadvars to a CFC or simliar page. This coldfusion page
(server-side) handles the processing , i.e. validation reports back
if need be or continues to send the information to a predefined
email address i.e. someone@anywhere.com.
Can some one please help either point me in a direction of a
tutorial(s) or provide me with an example of what I am trying to
do. I am currently running Flash 8 and Coldfusion 8 not sure if
this has any bearing on what I am trying to do. I am not sure if I
require Flash Remoting or not, however I do remember reading (not
sure if this is correct) Coldfusion has Flash Remoting integrated.
I appreciate any help, support or advise anyone can offer on
this issue. I am keen to get this moving as my project end date is
fast approaching.
