Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for your help. I was able to get it together and it is working!

Now i need to figure out how to add a Browse button on my AS2 form so users can send Word files using my PHP file which will then send me an e-mail with the information entered on the form plus their file.

Do you think you could help me out?

This is my script.

// hide processing mc
processing_mc._visible=false;
// Combo Box I create to populate Countries
function addCountriesToList() {
country_list.addItem({label:”United States of America”});
}

// Run Function Above Now
addCountriesToList();

var variables:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
var receiver_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();

var varSend=”form_parse.php”;
var varSend_method=”POST”;

//Build the varLoader Variable
receiver_lv.onLoad=completeHandler;

// Handler for the PHP Completion and return of Message Status
function completeHandler() {
// Remove processing clip
processing_mc._visible=false;
name_txt.text=”";
email_txt.text=”";
state_txt.text=”";
city_txt.text=”";

// Load the Response from PHP Here
status_txt.text=this.return_msg;
}

// Add Event Listener for Submit button click
submit_btn.onRelease=ValidateAndSend;

//function ValidateAndSend
function ValidateAndSend() {
// Validate Fields
if (!name_txt.length) {
status_txt.text=”Please enter your Name”;
} else if (!email_txt.length) {
status_txt.text=”Please enter your Email”;
} else if (!country_list.length) {
status_txt.text=”Please select your Country”;
} else if (!state_txt.length) {
status_txt.text=”Please enter your State”;
} else if (!city_txt.length) {
status_txt.text=”Please enter your city”;
} else {

//All is good send the Data to PHP now
processing_mc._visible=true;

//Ready the variables in my form for sending
variables.userName=name_txt.text;
variables.userEmail=email_txt.text;
variables.userCountry=country_list.value;
variables.userState=state_txt.text;
variables.userCity=city_txt.text;

//Send the Data to PHP now
variables.sendAndLoad(varSend,receiver_1v,varSend_method);

}// Close else condition for Error Handling

}//Close and Validate Function

And this is my PHP File

Thank you!!!!

use _visible rather than visible.

The component will work roughly the same way I think – use an older component though.

Your error checking would be the same I think.

For the sending and receiving of variables you would do it in two steps. Prepare your variables and send. Then set up an event to receive and receive your variables in the event. So roughly how you have it here but use the following syntax:

// set up object to send variables
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.score = 234;
myVars.player = “Dan Zen”;

//set up object to receive variables
newVars = new LoadVars();
newVars.onLoad = showHighscore;

myButton.onRelease = function () {
myVars.sendAndLoad(“game3.php”, newVars, “POST”);
}

function showHighscore() {
message.text = newVars.bestPlayer + ” has the high score of ” + newVars.bestScore
}

// hide processing mc
processing_mc.visible=false;
// Combo Box I create to populate Countries
function addCountriesToList():void{
CountryList.addItem({label:”United States”});
CountryList.addItem({label:”Canada”});
CountryList.addItem({label:”Mexico”});
}
// Run Function Above Now
addCountriesToList():

var variables:URLVariables= new URLVariables;

// Build the VarSend Variable
var varSend:URLRequest=new URLRequest(“form_parse.php”);
varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data=variables;

//Build the varLoader Variable
var varLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
varloader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES ;
varloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

// Handler for the PHP Completion and return of Message Status
function completeHandler(event.Event):void{
// Remove processing clip
processing_mc.visible=false;
name_txt.text=”";
email_txt.text=”";

// Load the Response from PHP Here
status_txt.text=event.target.data.return_msg;
}

// Add Event Listener for Submit button click
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ValidateAndSend);

//function ValidateAndSend
function ValidateAndSend(event:MouseEvent):void{
// Validate Fields
if(!name_txt.lenght){
status_txt.text=”Please enter your Name”;
}else if (!email_txt.lenght){
status_txt.text=”Please enter your Email”;
}else if (!country_list.lenght){
status_txt.text=”Please select your Country”;
}else if (!state_list.lenght){
status_txt.text=”Please select your State”;
}else if (!city_list.lenght){
status_txt.text=”Please select your city”;
}else{

//All is good send the Data to PHP now

//Ready the variables in my form for sending
variables.userName=name_txt.text;
