AS3 Contact Form

This contact form lists all modules that you can use. By editing the XML file, you can enable modules such as: dropdown, textfield, checkbox and radio groups.

The validation is done based on the type of content the user has to add, such as a number or an email address. The user is requested to fill all fields, and if he tries to submit incomplete information, the strokes color changes based on the value you send in the XML.

Each item can appear as many times as you need, and the dropdown and radio group can have as many items as you need for each instance.

Features:

1. Set the initial state of the checkbox, radio group, dropdown.
2. Enabled/Disabled states.
3. Label text.
4. Label position.
5. Customizable sizes.
6. Customizable colors.

Edit the PHP

You need to set your own email address where you want the information sent by the user to be emailed to. To do that, please open the contact.php file, and edit the following:

define('DESTINATION_EMAIL','[email protected]');

Note we also read the values from the form as follows:

From: $item0
Email: $item1
Continent: $item2
Issue: $item3
Message: ".nl2br($item4)."
CheckBox: $item5

Hi,

I checked this a few minutes ago and it worked. Are you using the latest version of this component? If you're not sure, please download the component again. We made an update recently that fixed this problem.

If that's still not working, please give me a link. I'll be able to see what the problem is.

This contact form had a issue rendering on Internet Explorer. We completed an update now and fixed it. Please download the files again and use the new SWF file.

Hi,

3 things I need help on:

Email is being sent and it works, but it only goes thru when I use the admin's email on the Yahoo Hosting account, any other email address, it does not reach my mailbox. Also, email renders in mailbox with "h"tags, "p" and "br/" tags...etc

sample below:

                
<h4>New message:</h4>
<p style='font-size:12px;font-family:arial;'>


From: joel <br />
Email: [email protected] <br /> 
Source: Newspaper <br />
Subject: General Question <br />
Message: etest <br />
CheckBox: true <br />'

</p>

                

** checkbox.xml - can't seem to figure out how to make it non-required field (been reading comments, but no luck)

--- code ---
selected = "false"
enabled = "true"

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

Thanks for downloading our component and for this comment.

We updated the component and used a new PHP class for sending emails. The problem with the HTML text has been solved.

It's a little weird that the email was sent to your admin email address, but not on the other addresses. Maybe, with the new PHP files, it will work. If it doesn't, please send us one of those email addresses at [email protected] and we'll try to send you an email from our server. That's if you want to.

To solve the non-required field you'll need to edit the contact.xml file. Find for each item you want to make optional this line:

                
<mandatory>true</mandatory>

                

And set it to "false":

                
<mandatory>false</mandatory>

                

Thanks again for reporting the problems and don't hesitate to get in touch with us, if it gives you any more trouble.

Hi,

Thanks for the updated php files it worked! Except for one more bug. The email address that the users enter in my form isn’t good for Yahoo and it seems like I can't directly receive emails from the website form. I get a confirmation that the email was sent. BUT, if I enter the admin's email address on the form, it goes thru!! Damn yahoo! Do you have any idea what's going on with that? Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe you'll have to get in touch with Yahoo about this issue, but please give us a link to your webpage, where the component is embedded. You can put it here or send it to us at [email protected] We'll try to figure what the problem is.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you want to use the Polish language, you'll need to embed a font that has those characters in it. This tutorial will help you do this:

First thanks for all your guys' help. You are by far the fastest to respond to issues. I read through the thread here but still having an issue with Font size. I was able to change the form Title and Intro Message size in the contact.xml and the Radio and Check Box in the FLA but still cant find where to change the Name, Email and Message title font size. I have changed the size in the FLA in pretty much all mcText MCs with no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks. Cheers.

Hello,

You'll have to open the projectCS4.fla/projectCS3.fla file and find the movie clip named mcTextInput in the library. Double click on it to edit it, select the txt text field and change it's size.

Press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Return) to republish the SWF file and you're done. The Name, Email and Message text input fields will be resized.

 

Packy Tagliaferro

Thanks. I tried that earlier and didnt have luck for some reason, but what I am mostly concerned about is those fields' labels. The input font size isnt really an issue for me as long as I can adjust the font size of the labels.

 

Corneliu Chitanu

on 11/4/11

We completed a little update right now and, if you'd download the component again, you'd be able to change only the size of the input label. Just replace the old FLA file you were using with the new one and find the mcLabel movieclip in the library. Change the size of the txt text field and it should do it.

Let me know, if you succeed or not. If you can't do it, you can always email us at [email protected] and tell us what size you want for the label. We'll make the changes for you and send you the new SWF and FLA files. Just send us the email using the email address you registered on Flabell with.

Hi.
How I can import the swf inside my Swf flash page?
I try but not import nothing.
Only show me this:
////////////////////
TypeError: Error #1009: No se puede acceder a una propiedad o a un método de una referencia a un objeto nulo.

                
	at Sample/init()
	at Sample(). 
                

My code is this:

                import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
 
var img_loader:Loader = new Loader();
img_loader.load(new URLRequest("contactform.swf"));
addChild(img_loader);

                

Thanks for you help.

Everything works except the dropdown menu. It does not show up in both google chrome and safari. I am running it locally and have not edited it yet.

Hi,

We're sorry for the trouble, but I just tested the component locally and the dropdown menu worked. Make sure there isn't some mistake you made, if you edited the files.

It would be weird if you didn't made any changes and the dropdown doesn't work. Send us your files to [email protected], if this is the case. We'll figure out what the problem is.

I did not edit the files at the time and it did not work. I decided to just remove the box from the code before putting it on my site. I will try again with a new download.

Just tried it, same issue even with a different computer. I downloaded it directly from this page and opened it. NO EDITING AT ALL, I did nothing else just opened the index file. Could it be compatibility issue with Mac OSX? cause it is the same with all my browsers on all my macs and the only thing the have in common is OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8

 

Corneliu Chitanu

Yes, this might be a problem when using Macs. It's weird because we're using Macs also, but we don't have these kind of problems.

We had some clients before that used Macs and when they open a component that have a scroller, it didn't work.

Try removing these two lines in the code, you're using (if you're using our code from the index.html file):

                
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfmacmousewheel.js"></script>
...
if(swfmacmousewheel) swfmacmousewheel.registerObject(attributes.id);

                

The problem will appear only on your local machine, anyway. When using the component online it works. But this should solve it.
