PRoblem sending email with flash
Old 2004-06-19

I am having problems to send an email from flash.I have another script that works just fine but I cant get this one to work and it pretty the same code.

I have this code in flash:
ActionScript Code:
  1. on(release) {
  2.     if( yourname.text == "" or youremail.text == "" or friendname.text == "" or friendemail.text == "") {
  3.         status = "Enter some text in the text fileds.";
  4.         Selection.setFocus("yourname");
  5.     }else {
  6.         ind = new LoadVars();
  7.         ind.yourname = yourname.text;
  8.         ind.youremail = youremail.text;
  9.         ind.friendname = friendname.text;
  10.         ind.friendemail = friendemail.text;
  11.         ind.sendAndLoad("flashindique.cfm",ind,'POST');
  12.         gotoAndStop(27);
  13.     }
  14. }

And here is my ColdFusion code:

ActionScript Code:
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. </head>
  4. <body>
  5. <cfmail from="#trim(youremail)#" to="#trim(friendemail)#" subject= "#yourname#,wants to invite you to visit this Web Site!"
  6.  server="myserver"
  7.  port="25" type="html">
  8. <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">
  9.  Hi #friendname# !<br>
  10.  <br>
  11.  #yourname# has visited Tavares Web Site and He/She thought it is a very good web site.He/She decided to invite you to visit it.<br>
  12.  Tavares Web Site is about a story of a DJ named by his friends DJ Chambinho.<br>
  13.  You will get some information about him and how he started djing.It is a pretty web site with lots of good stuffs.<BR>
  14.  Pay a visit to our web site and we hope you enjoy it!<BR>
  15.  <br>
  16.  Thank you for your attention.<br>
  17.  <b>Eduardo Tavares (Dj Chambinho)</b><br>
  18.  <b><i><a href="http://www.eduardotavares.com.br">[url]www.EduardoTavares.com.br[/url]</a></i></b>
  19. </font>
  20. </cfmail>
  21. </html></body>

I tested with a static cfm file and it worked just fine but with flash is hard.

You know, I'm not much of a Cold Fusion user, but I do use PHP. I once created a mailing list, and the script looked like this:

ActionScript Code:
  1. on (release) {
  2.     if (_root.mcMainBoxMailingList.name eq "") {
  3.         _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.Status.text = "ERROR:  Name is a required field.";
  4.     } else if (_root.mcMainBoxMailingList.address eq "") {
  5.         _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.Status.text = "ERROR:  Address is a required field.";
  6.     } else if (_root.mcMainBoxMailingList.citystate eq "") {
  7.         _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.Status.text = "ERROR:  City and State/Province are required.";
  8.     } else if (_root.mcMainBoxMailingList.postalcode eq "") {
  9.         _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.Status.text = "ERROR:  Zip/Postal code required.";
  10.     } else if (!_root.mcMainBoxMailingList.email.length || _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.email.indexOf("@") == -1 || _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
  11.         _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.Status.text = "ERROR:  Please enter a valid email address.";
  12.     } else {
  13.         Submit = "Yes";
  14.         _root.mcMainBoxMailingList.Status.text = "You have been added to the mailing list.";
  15.         loadVariablesNum ("list.php",0,"POST");
  16.     }
  17. }



It works just fine, and my PHP file just sends the email. Hope that helps in some way...

It's a cut and paste...so shoot me...

You need to specify a reply handler.
Verify what you are sending using toString().
But it's really your sendAndLoad line formatting that is making things difficult.



ActionScript Code:
  1. email = function () {
  2.     notes.length = 0;
  3.     vEmailToMemberPopUp ();
  4.     if (notes.push > 0) {
  5.         getPop_Up ();
  6.     } else {
  7.         var email_send:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
  8.         var email_reply:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
  9.         email_send.uName = uName.text;
  10.         // 
  11.         email_reply.onLoad = function () {
  12.             if (email_reply.emailSent == 0) {
  13.                 notes.push ("Your email could not be sent. Contact the site Admin.");
  14.                 getPop_Up ();
  15.                 break;
  16.             } else {
  17.                 if (email_reply.emailSent == 1) {
  18.                     notes.push ("Your email has been sent to the member");
  19.                     getPop_Up ();
  20.                 }
  21.             }
  22.         };
  23.         email_send.sendAndLoad ("/inc/cf/cfmEmail.cfm?cacheKiller=" + new Date ().getTime (), email_reply, "POST");
  24.         // /test here......
  25.         // email_send.send ("/inc/cf/cfm_email.cfm?cacheKiller=" + new Date ().getTime (), "_blank", "POST");
  26.         _root.createTextField ("myTextField", _global.depth++, 222, 222, 222, 222);
  27.         myTextField.text = email_send.toString ();
  28.     }
  29. };
