text fields- fields are being lost

[jabjabart]

greetings message board. i have a problem. i have a small form in MC inside of a masked MC. when i go to publish or export the ability to type in form fields is gone. the arrow cursor turns into the typing curtsor, but i can't type. can anyone help or explain why and what to do? thank you for your time.

Could you post the actionscript..

i can certainly post the a-script, but when i use the script in a scene where it is not buried in a MC inside of a MC, the script works just fine.
here is the script being used:

On (Release)
Set Variable: "Name" = "Name_ "&/:name&" "
Set Variable: "Phone" = "Phone_ "&/hone&" "
Set Variable: "Email" = "Email_ "&/:email&" "
Set Variable: "QuestionComment"
= "QuestionComment_ "&/:questioncomment&" "
Get URL ("mailto:me@home.com?subject=QuestionsandComments& body="&/:Name&/:Phone&/:Email&/:QuestionComment, vars=POST)
Go to and Stop (15)
End On

2nd set of script being used:
Stop
Set Variable: "a" = /:Name
Set Variable: "b" = /:Phone
Set Variable: "c" = /:Email
Set Variable: "d" = /:QuestionComment
I have feeling that it has something to do with being in a masked MC, but don't know how to fix. I can send or post the swf. I appreciate your help.

Ok, give a link to the swf..

I think it has something to do with the '/', cause they mean "in the main timeline".

[Seti]

For example:

/movieclip:variable

this specifies the variable named 'variable' in the movieclip 'movieclip' of the main timeline.

[Seti]

So in your example I think you need to specify the movieclip:

/movieclip:email

Hope it helped, let me know..
