Need Help With Dynamic Text for Flash In Myspace

[[M2]Superman]

Can anyone help me out here. I am new to the programing side of flash. I am using KoolMoves ver. 5.5.0 and I am trying to make a comment box in my flash with Dynamic text. I have the html code to make a comment box but I can't figure out how use that code in my flash. Am I going to have to use Dynamic text with a button and some kind of send form action or something? I have read up about some advanced action scripting but have not found anything on how to send to a backend like myspace. Help please

Well if you have the html version you could post it here (with anything personal changed)and we could walk you through converting to flash.
It's fairly straightforward and once you have done one etc....

Here is the code for the comment box i need to make work in flash.

<center> <form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment"> <input

type="hidden" name="friendID" value="48942830"><textarea name="f_comments" cols="50" rows="10">Leave Me A Comment

You ****!</textarea><br> <input type="submit" value="Send That ****"> <input type="reset" value="Oh **** Start

Over"></form><br> <form action="http://www.htmate2.com/commentbox/" method="post"><style type="text/css"> textarea

{background-color:FFFFFF; background-image:url(); border-width:2px; border-style:solid; border-color:000000;

color:$ttc; font-family:;} input {background-color:FFFFFF; border-width:2px; border-style:solid;

border-color:000000; color:000000; font-family:;} </style></center>

Ok in its simplest form...

in the root timeline put

fuseaction = "user.ConfirmComment";
friendID = "48942830";

create a dynamic text box ..give it the variable name (in properties) of f_comments

create a send button ..give it the action of

on(release){
_root.loadVariables("http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm","POST");
}

create a reset button with action

on(release){
f_comments = "";
}

and see what happens...
there is no feedback included but instead you may wish to behave as the html version would so if you would use

on(release){
getURL("http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment&friendID=48942830&f_comments="+f_comments);
}

try both methods and you will see the difference...

there is a second form action started in your code...seemed incomplete s I ignored it for now...

Oh and make your form pretty because you can...

What do you mean by:

in the root timeline put
fuseaction = "user.ConfirmComment";
friendID = "48942830"; ?

Flashspeak...

the root timeline is the timeline in the main movie...ie not a movieclip

you can add actionscript to it by selecting the score/timeline dialogue (clock on the toolbar) select the third tab down on the left....click on '+'...
choose 'actionscript'...and add the lines in the dialogue box.

The easiest way to access after that is through the 'movie overview'...right click...edit

the two lines mentioned are only needed for the first method.

hope this makes things clearer...

neither of the two meathods work. the first one is just gets stuck there and doesn't really do anything.

and the second one always says the user's profile is under maintenance. even though if meathod is tried through regular comment box, it works perfectly fine.
