cant get the @ symbil to show in cgrome or safari, i ma using a UK keyboard and it thinks im using a usa keyboard. i have it set to wmode-transparent, i know this can cause this sometimes but i need this as it sits under a flash menu, can you help and i mean asap the client will be looking at this in 1hr please!! regards SHELDON
Hi Joe
firstly thanks for your great response time and simply the greatest form i have ever used…AT LAST !!
i have worked around the issue. what happens if you have in my case a drop out menu over the top you of course have to set the wmode to transparent, however when you do this on all flash forms it somehow changes the keyboard layout to USA but only in Chrome and Safari, ie and firefox seem to be ok, although you can focus through flash to flash in firefox.
i ahve made the form smaller and worked it to the right so the other layer doesnt get in the way.
if you find a solution i would love to know as it is a pain.
regards Sheldon

You need to edit the xml and add your email or else the file breaks when trying to send out an email (since there isn’t a real email to send to).
<!-- Format the email that will be sent to you. -->
<contact_email>
<!-- The email you'd like the contact information to be sent to. -->
<to>emai_1@email.com</to>
<to>emai_2@email.com</to>
<to>emai_3@email.com</to>
<!-- Where the email should look like it's coming from. -->
<from>comments@metaphorcreations.com</from>
<!-- The subject of the email -->
<subject>Comment from website</subject>
<!-- The message of the email -->
<message><![CDATA[
You have recieved an email from: **EMAIL ADDRESS**
Subject: **SUBJECT**
Comment: **COMMENT**
]]></message>
</contact_email>
You need to change the <to>emai_1@email.com</to>
If you only need the email to be sent to yourself delete the other 2 lines that are similar. I have built in the ability to be able to send emails to multiple people if you desire… an email will always be sent to the person who is trying to contact you as well.
So, make that update to the xml file and re-upload your xml. It should work then.
Hello! the thing was that smtp server was not active on php ini so it couldnt send no mails
anyways i have another problem now
im trying to embedd a font i already got it in my library with the export name set. but when calling it from the css it wont work
any ideas why pls help
desperate
You need to find the exact name that your OS names the font when putting it in your css file… The naming of the font in the css isn’t necessarily the same name that shows up in flash. So, you need to dig into your fonts on your system and figure out how it’s named. It’s kind of a pain, but it sounds like you have the first step done, which is embedding the font in your fla.
hi is there an option for auto reply with this form? that gets sent out as a ‘thankyou’ message or similar?
... looks great btw, and sorry if this has been answered before!
Jack
just one more thing… when the form is submitted.. .a new tab opens and yahoo loads… is there any way to get rid of this or am i just being stupid?
That’s an error on my part. Email me through my Author Page and I’ll get you an update.
I will also upload an update here on ActiveDen.
hi
i have a request is there anyway to include a drop down list and check boxes? if so this would be great!! happy to pay for it.
cheers sheldon
Excellent file! Thank you!
I have modified it just a little (www.myvoiceoverguy.com) but would like to change the text color and tip text color, but haven’t a clue where to find it. (Text on the forms, both form name and form input, and tip text)
Help?
I just have to say again… This widget rocks! Easy to setup, edit and looks absolutely amazing.
This has got to be one of my best buys here at ActiveDen.
It Works and looks excellent: http://www.roadtobetterliving.com/HTML/MoreInfo/MoreInfo.html
Thanks, Dennis
Is there a way to add a BCC email recipient to the form?
There isn’t anything built in to ad BCC . It would be possible with some customization. You can email me through my Author Page if you would like to discuss modification (based on my freelance rate) if you’d like to add this.
Thanks for your purchase!
just found out that this form doesnt support PHP5 will you have an upgrade anytime soon?
cheers sheldon
Sheldon – I just double-checked the php and tested on my server, which uses php5, and everything works fine… there really isn’t much php used in the file ( only ‘explode’ and ‘mail’ functions )
I was thinking maybe the ‘explode’ function was possibly deprecated, but it is supported by php5.
Do you have a link to your site I can check out? There’s probably some other issue that’s going on to cause the form to not work.
Hi Joe
ok here is the form, i have isolated it and they are using one on the back of my hosting pulled through an iframe
http://www.extech.co.uk/joemc_cobra_contact_1.2/cobra_contact.swf
ill tell what happend, i have a client that we have used this form on and it was working fine fully tested, then they upgraded to php5 and it stopped working, i reset there control panel to php4 and it worked fine again.
this one looks like its sending but doesnt actualy send anything?
cheers sheldon
Hi. Great looking work. I put a test form up on my server as a test. It says the message was sent, but nothing comes through. Temp address is – http://www.spilt.com.au/review/orchardestate/
Thanks mate!
Check to make sure you have the ‘contact.php’ file uploaded to your server. You need to have the ‘_extra’ folder that came with the files uploaded to your server as well.
When I open my developer tools in Chrome and test the contact form I get this error:
”/review/orchardestate/_extra/contact.php – Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not found)”

Do you have a link I can check out that shows this issue? Did you modify the file at all (new fonts or anything)? I’ve never run into this issue… the file is setup using Arial and the fonts are embedded in the file. If you don’t have Arial on your machine, you’ll have to change the font to something that you have.
Let me know when you get a chance.
Thanks for your purchase!
