Can't type in text field

Hello

I have a rough small form (one frame and one layer) with four static text labels (using MX 2004):

Name
Email
Country
Message

To the right of each label I have a rectangular input text box for the site visitor to input his name, email, country, and message.


I eventually wish to 'talk' to an ASP email script I have on a server, so to facilitate this I have typed in fullname, email, country, and message respectively in my FLA file where it says 'instance name' in Properties under each input text box.

I have picked these bits and pieces up from a couple of articles and forums and hope that, so far, I am on the right track.

I then create two buttons, 'Clear' and 'Submit' and import them from the library to the stage.

This is where I am now stuck. I presumably need to type in, somewhere, something for the 'Clear' button, and the following for the 'Submit' button:

on (release) {
loadVariables("myfile.asp", POST);
}


Yet, I am informed that I am not allowed to write these scripts in the Actions Panel.

There is a further problem: when I try to type in the fields, I am not able to. I am not able to place the cursor anywhere.

Any ideas, please?

Steve

PS: If any suggestions refer to 'writing in the timeline', I do not know what that means, or how to do it - sorry!

Should the whole email form be a movie clip - because at the moment it isn't.

Thanks.

Hello Ken

There is only one layer and one frame.

Cheers
