Step 1:

First we need to create the form field variables. For this example, we will create a mailing form. With he name, e-mail address, message text fields and with two buttons; submit and clear.

Step 2:

Select the Text tool from the Tool menu and select the text field option.

 

Step 3:

Drag your mouse to the movie, click and drag to draw the text field. Make them any size you please, you can resize them later.

Step 4:

Now we need to name the fields. Select the arrow tool and right click on the text field. Select 'properties' from the drop down dialogue.

 

Step 5:

Now all you have to change is the 'Variable' option. You have to name all the fields. For this tutorial, name them the following way:

Name = name

E-mail = mail

Message = message

 

Step 6:

You should have something looking like this:

 

Step 7:

Now we need to create the buttons. Select the text tool, drag it over the movie and type in the words 'Submit' and 'Reset'.

 

Step 8:

Select them and make them symbols (F8). Don't forget to set the behavior to 'button'.

 

 

Step 9:

Now we need to assign actions to the buttons. Double click the reset button and go to the Actions tab.

Now enter the following options in the action field:

On (Release)

Set Variable: "name" = ""

Set Variable: "mail" = ""

Set Variable: "message" = ""

End On

Select the Submit button and enter the following fields:

On (Release)

Load Variables ("mailto:http://www.yourdomain.com/formmail.cgi", 1, vars=POST)

End On
