I'm trying to make a fill out form in Flash 5. I followed the steps of several tutorials but my form doesn't seem to work. I must be doing something wrong, of course.
Can someone explain me how I can have the submit button work properly? I have to use a cgi script because that's the only kind of 'thing' my ISP allows me to use. I don't know anything about cgi...
all you have to do is use the get url command to send it to your ISPs CGI bin : it'll look something like this
and in the variables field check "get using post"
[code]
on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/userform.cgi", "_self", "POST");
}
[code]
Hi, I tried to do as you told me, but it still won't work. I also tried all the tutorials, but nothing. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I checked my ISP's website and they do support cgi scripts (only cgi, actually). I also checked where the cgi-bin is... Everything seems all right, but it doesn't work. Do I have to incorporate the cgi-script in the html file containing the swf file as well? None of the tutorials mentions this, and neither did you.
I hope you can help me. Thanks very much in advance!
the referer is parrt of the script, you need something like BBEdit to change it. Somewhere near the beginning of your script it will have a referer which is a web address which should be changed to the address at which you are hosting it. If this is still over your head you can give me your email address and I can either send you a picture to further explain it or I can do it for you, if you tell me your URL, and send it to you. Now, I'm assuming that your using a mac, because of your username, correct me though if you are using a PC.
To set the permsissions on the script you have to do it with the file on your server though. This will differ depending on what ftp program you are using, you will have to tell me what program you are using. You can use BBEdit to do it though. In BBEdit go to 'file'-'open from ftp server' and this allows you to connect to your server. If you select your script then click on the get info button then select all the execute buttons then click set. Again, if this is unclear I can send you a screen grab to show you.
