Input type to be replaced! Pls!!!!

[ayusuits]

I have a form (freedback) and the last part goes like this:

<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<input type="image" src="http://geocities.com/ayusuits/wall.jpg" value="Submit Form" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>


if I change type to IMAGE, I could replace it with an image, but what if I want to replace it with an SWF file button? I want an animated button when mouse over it. Please help...

Try

<input type="swf" src="myImage.swf" value="Submit Form" />

Try

<input type="swf" src="myImage.swf" value="Submit Form" />

Except that code won't actually do anything...there are only a few input types, and .swf isn't one of them.

To make a .swf file submit a form, you're going to need some Actionscript and probably even some Javascript to submit the form.

What I'd recommend is you look at the animation and whether it could be done in some other way. For example, you could use an animated .gif, or use javascript to animate the button.

If Flash is the only way you can accomplish what you want, embed it in the normal way, create a Javascript function to submit it, and look into externalInterface in Flash to call the Javascript function.

Try

<input type="swf" src="myImage.swf" value="Submit Form" />

Wow dude, seriously, at least have SOME knowledge before you pull things out of thin air. We don't have a problem with people who aren't experts, but don't pull things out of your ass to try and teach others. It's just bad for everyone.

Thanks.

inside the swf

myButton.onPress=function(){
getUTL("javascript:document.forms[0].submit()");
}

then embed swf normally...should work assuming its the only form on the page
