    Is it possible to send the data collected from a 3dfa form and send it as Multipart/form data?

    Also, is it possible to create a file box.

    HTML EG:
    <input type=file name=file>

    So someone can attach a file to a forms submission?

    You can pass any variable to your server script and I would think sending a file name is fine however flash has no facility to access the file system reomote or localy.

    Basically when you use the Load Variable action All the current variables are send URL encoded to the recieving script.

    Ok, what about drop down boxes, can that be done? Perhaps with writing actual code in 3DFA?

    Maybe I can do the same thing with Check Boxes?

    Any input?

    Currently, drop-down boxes have to be manually built using menu items, or editboxes. We are looking at including drop-downs in our upcoming version, 3.6

    Thanks

    1. editbox with variable attached.
    2. menu with your choices listed
    3. regular button on the right of the editbox activates the menu
    4. clicking the menu item sets the variable attached to the editbox
    5. menu closes up.

    the only issue is if you want to click 'off' the menu without selecting anything. you need to have a clickable area outside the menu list that closes it up.

    hope it helps

    Regards

    It does help...

    Do you know if there will be a feature added later or if it is possible to do it now where I can do this:

    I want someone to be able to send me a file via my webform. With an HTML form it is possible with the

    <INPUT TYPE=FILE> tag...

    Is it possible to do this? How about with a Javascript command (I don't know much about Javascript)

    I think that the PHP script is doing the real work here, I'm guessing that if you pass the file name with full path it to the varible that the script expects, it might work. There is no way to "browse" for the file though.
