How can I submit HTML form with flash button?

[tdellaringa]

Hi,

I'm striking out figuring this out on my own, I have an HTML form but I want to use a flash button to submit it. (the button needs to show a 'hit's state, it's for a kiosk).

I assume it's some simple actionscript but I can't figure out how to do it. An explanation or an example would be greatly appreciated. I am using Flash 8.

Thanks

Tom

Since Flash can invoke javascript.You can add actionscript to your button to invoke the javascript function to submit your form

<script language="javascript">
var myForm=getElementById("youformID");
myForm.submit() ;
</script>

Sorry friend I've never tried this before but I know the way to do.You can find tut about Flash and javascript in the tutorial section

To call Khoma's method from flash, it needs light rewriting:

var fSubmit=function(){
var myForm=getElementById("youformID");
myForm.submit() ;
}

in flash:

code:

---

on(release) {

getURL("javascript:fSubmit();");

}

Ok, seems I'm putting the actionscript in the wrong place. I just put it in a layer on its own in the scene. I got this error:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on(release) {

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

My button is a symbol - where do I actually put this script so it will work?

Thanks for the help.

You have to put it on the button symbol it self. Th code On Release means that when you release the button, it does blah,blah,blah.
