flash form submit

Post by imstupid »

hello everybody- how's it going? I know this is a php forum, but I've got a flash + php question that I think is more flash-related, so I thought this section would be best.

Anyway, I've got a very basic form, that submits to a php page. I can get the variables to the php page, and echo them out no problem... however I can't get them to insert into a database.

When using an html form, with the same variable names, posting to the same submit php page, it inserts fine. just won't insert from a flash .swf file.

The only unusual thing, is when I echo the variables from the html file, they appear in the standard, default html font text, and when I echo the variables from the flash file, they come out huge and bold.

On flash, I have the text fields set to input text, _sans, 12pt, but when echoing, they come out all huge and even in serif font.

it would look as if it isn't inserting because of this font, (that's the only thing that differs between the flash form and html form), but I thought I've set up the text fields in flash the proper way. Does anyone have any ideas or have heard of anything like this?

Thanks in advance.

hey thanks for the reply. Actually, I figured it out using a different method (actions on different frames instead of all in the submit button). If I have time and can remember, I'll edit this reply to make it a little more comprehensive for the next person to have the problem.

thanks again.
