Change the button's code to this:

on (release) {
		 if (name == undefined || subject == undefined || message == undefined || email == undefined) {
			   stop();
		 } else {
			   loadVariablesNum("form.php", 0, "POST");
			   gotoAndStop(2);
		 }
}

Whoever wrote this tutorial is probably using a very early version of Flash.

ok cool thanks i changed that but the message still is not coming threw is there a problem with grabbing the info from flash to the php script?

[Ben]

Make sure you name the input text in the variable field, not the instance name field. Also, make sure you're linking to the form.php properly.

Well, it might not be, and I don't really feel like following a tutorial about something that I already know..

can anyone please help me hear

[Ben]

I had a look at it a while ago. I thought I saw your problem, so I posted it, but then realised that it was infact correct... I honestly can't see the problem. I am actually having the same problem at the moment, apparently. A contact form I made for my bosses website he says they show up blank... yet when I use the contact form to send to my email, I get the message perfectly fine. It may just be because of email servers, maybe not. I haven't yet seen the problem.

[purity]

hmm so how can i fix this coss I'm sending the emails to a hotmail account

[Ben]

Well, try sending me an email at d4rkst0n3[at]msn.com with the email form.

If you don't manage to get it working, I have a contact form that you could use.
