How to make radio buttons select a different email address 1

[ActionScriptNovice]

Hello Gurus, I'm very new to flash and probably dont know all the words needed to search for the right solution are, so my appologies if this is very obvious.

I have a working HTML form that uses the post method to send variables to an asp page on a server that I do not have access to change in any way.

<form method="POST" action="

http://development1.digitalvirtue.net/mailing.asp"

name="form1">

It also uses some hiden fields (they told me to include them)

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="

http://www.chilli-images.com/"/>

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Form from website"/>
<input type="hidden" name="recipient">
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="Name,Company,Email,Telephone,Message" />

it uses a drop combo box to select different email addresses to send to


<select name="recipient" id="recipient">
<option value="simon@chilli-images.com">simon</option>
<option value="Matt@chilli-images.com">Matt</option>
<option value="enquiries@chilli-images.com">enquiries</option>
<option value="email@asabeaumont.co.uk">web design</option>
</select>

However I would like to make the form in flash and use 4 radio buttons to select one of the 4 email recipients.

The group of the 4 radio buttons i have called recipients and I have assigned a data value of the email addresses to each one of them.(the email address)

Do I have to include all of the hidden input types that I was advised to use for the HTML form if so where would I put all of these in the flash movie and how do I correcly assign the email form to select the correct address from a radio button?

Is it true that it will only work if uploaded to the server?

These are the text field I would like to use Name,Company,Email,Telephone,Message

This is very much appreciated if anyone could help me thankyou.

Have a look at LoadVars Class in the doc - that's basically handles what you after.

Hello kenneth thankyou for the quick responce. I have had a little success with a set a variable method

This is the actionscript in the main timeline:

subject = "Contact Form from Website";
recipient = "email@asabeaumont.co.uk";
sort = "Name,Company,Email,Telephone,Message";

This is the script for the submit button
on (release) {
getURL("

http://development1.digitalvirtue.net/mailing.asp",

"", "POST");
}

However I really don't know how to change recipient dependant upon the 4 radio buttons. The data for each radio button can be an email address. I spent 6 days getting this far have I loaded variables or just set them already? You can probably tell I'm quite thick at this.

The way you're doing is not the best way - it's an ancient method...

But anyway, are you using RadioButton Component? If so you can get the sleeted data using: [tt]RadioButtonGroup.selection.data[/tt]

[ActionScriptNovice]

recipient = "radioGroup.selection.data";
recipient = radioGroup.selection.data;

recipient = RadioButtonGroup.selection.data


none of these seem to work, as I have to place it on the server to see if the asp file works with it, could you explain a little more please

You have to place the code in your button script so that it captures the final selection.
