My last and ultimate chalenge

[dickn1943]

Dear friends and mentors in KoolMoves flashland.
I bought KoolMoves on a whim last June and I must say, I have had a ball with it, The learning experience was "presious". I have learned to use my creativity to the ultimate and have created some really nice web sites.
Here's the posser:
I would like to use a KoolMoves fun file to create a flash form with up to 50 seperate fields ( like questionaire ) and then on check it on a daily basis to read the info on the same web site. I know how to set a code to get private access, (Thanks to Necro).
Now that I have his counter ( and it does exactly what I wanted it to do) and his GuestBook, his guest book tells me this is possible. Letme see if I can better explain:
A person visits my site and chooses to tell me a little about himself
(ie: name, occupation, e-mail address and stuff like that up to say 50 questions and a comment.) This guest fills in this form and clicks on "Send" as in Necro's GuestBook. The information filled in by this guest can only be read by me on the same web-site in an adjoining KoolMoves movie. His guest book shows all guests on the same page as a new guest. This new info would be accessible only to those who know the code. I do something similar to this on my site now.
This may be the most difficult request, I have ever made on this forum, but I know the forum visitors would really get a kick out of this, but I need guidance and scripting help in terms a boob like me can understand. I will share my final product with all of you

Hello sunshine,
So you're looking for a kind of guestbook with password protected entries ?
You need to make private several entries ?
I (always) need more details ... LOL

Hi there smiley face.
I know this can work because you use it in your guestbook. You ask for a name, e-mail address etc. Suppose you wanted the guest to fill out a 50 question form, lets say you want the person's age, where they work etc. but you want this information displayed on another page. Not the same page, I can be in the same folder but a text string in needed to get access. See if this helps
EXAMPLE.
I am taking a survey for a census and I need 50 questions answered.
From my homepage on my web site, is hyper link to a page called "Tell me about yourself." with 50 or so Active Text boxes that I would like the visitor to fill out. The visitor would fill in the boxes and the click the send button. The information typed in those boxes would appear in another movie in the same folder, like you did with the BOOK part of the script in your GuestBook. AM I making sense?
I want to use the gathered information ( 50 or so questions ) but I don't want every visitor to see them. Or I would like these questions with their answers sent to me in an e-mail. I want to avoid using MYSQL or a database.

I see ...
First of all you have to "split" those 50 questions : for example 5 questions per page, 10 pages.
Create a variable in the first keyframe: message = "";
For each page you need a NEXT button.
For the first "NEXT" button,the script should be based on this rule:
on(release){message = message+vr1+vr2+vr3+vr4+vr5;}
For the second "NEXT" button:
on(release){message = message+vr6+vr7+vr8+vr9+vr10;}
and so on.
The last "NEXT" button is in fact the "SEND" button:
on(release){this.loadVariables("guestbook.php?msg= "+message,"POST");}
In this way you can send all those 50 text fields.
Of course, you may send them "grouped" (5 fields per POST),but this is not a good idea, because you're interested in completed surveys.
I'm sure that you can figure how to do it.

Thans Necro, I'll play with this for a while and see if I can make it happen.
