2 3 4 Create Flash login form. Step 2: 1. We need to create the action for the form now which is to submit the form variables (values of the 2 textfields) to our page. Our page will be called flash_form.asp or flash_form.cfm. 2. right click your button symbol and go to Actions. Insert the following code:  This could be done in a friendly manner using the friendly object actions on the left, but I showed you the final code on the right. Whats going on? After the button is clicked and the mouse is released we are creating a hidden form value called submit with the value of submit. This is to let us know later on if the form was submitted. We are then redirecting and sending all the variables by POST to our web page which will accept the variables. We will display what was submitted on that page. So we have 3 form variables in this form: 2 the User will fill out and 1 pre-defined: txtUsername, txtPassword, submit These will be retrieved on our web page. 3. Save your flash document as flash_form.fla and then go to File > export Movie and save it as flash_form.swf We are finished with the Flash section, we will move now to Ultradev and utilize our Flash form. 1 2 3 4 Create Flash login form. |
