How to create an email form with ActionScript 3

I made two movieclips that I used as buttons: sendbtn and resetbtn .

I created input fields called: yourName , fromEmail, yourSubject and YourMsg.

They post the variables: name, from, subject and msg to the PHP.

/*************************************    
Buttons       
**************************************/ 

sendbtn.buttonMode = true;

sendbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit);

resetbtn.buttonMode = true;

resetbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reset); 

/*************************************        
Variables needed        
**************************************/  

 var timer:Timer; var varLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader;

 var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "mail.php" );

 urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

/*************************************
Functions
**************************************/ 

 function init():void{

 //Set all fields to empty

 yourName.text = "";

 fromEmail.text = "";

 yourSubject.text = "";

 YourMsg.text = "";

 }

 function submit(e:MouseEvent):void{

 //Check to see if any of the fields are empty

 if( yourName.text == "" || fromEmail.text == "" ||
yourSubject.text == "" ||YourMsg.text == "" ) { valid.text = "  
All fields need to be filled.";

 }

 //Check if you're using a valid email address

 else if( !checkEmail(fromEmail.text) )

 { valid.text = "
Enter a valid email address"; } 


else { valid.text = "
Sending over the internet...";

 var emailData:String = "
name=" + yourName.text + "&
from=" + fromEmail.text + "&
subject=" + yourSubject.text + "&
msg=" + YourMsg.text;

var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(emailData);
urlVars.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
urlRequest.data = urlVars; varLoad.load( urlRequest );
varLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, thankYou );
 } 
}
function reset(e:MouseEvent):void{
init(); //call the initial clear function
 }
function checkEmail(s:String):Boolean {

 //This tests for correct email address

var p:RegExp = /(\w|[_.\-])+@((\w|-)+\.)+\w{2,4}+/; var
r:Object = p.exec(s);
if( r == null ) {
return false;

}

return true;

}

function thankYou(e:Event):void { 
var loader:URLLoader =
URLLoader(e.target); 
var sent = new
URLVariables(loader.data).sentStatus; if( sent == "yes" )
{
valid.text = "
Thanks for your email!"; timer = new Timer(500);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, msgSent);
timer.start();
}
else {
valid.text = "
Oh no! Something is wrong! Try again..."; }

}

function msgSent(te:TimerEvent):void {
if( timer.currentCount >= 10 ) { init();
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, msgSent);

}

}

-------------

PHP file called mail.php with the code:

<?php $yourName = $_POST['name']; // the variable needsto match
your Actionscript

$fromEmail = $_POST['from']; // the variable needs to match your
Actionscript

$yourSubject = $_POST['subject']; // the variable needs to match
your Actionscript

$YourMsg = $_POST['msg']; // the variable needs to match your
Actionscript

if( $yourName == true ) { $sender = $fromEmail; $yourEmail ="
yourEmailAddress@yourdomain.com"; // This will be
your email address so please change this

$ipAddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // This gets the user's ip
Address

$emailMsg = "Name: $yourName sent this from IP:
$ipAddress\n\nReturn Email: $sender
\n\nSubject:$yourSubject\n\nMessage:\n\n$YourMsg \n\nThis email was
sent using
a form on your site";$return = "From: $sender\r\n" .
"Reply-To:$sender \r\n" ."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

if( mail( $yourEmail, "$yourSubject", $emailMsg, $return
))

{ 
echo "sentStatus=yes"; }

else { echo "sentStatus=no"; } }
?> 

  emailer.zip *remember to change your email address in the PHP where it says

yourEmailAddress@yourdomain.com



Hope this helps!
