Create Flash login form.

Step 3:

1. Create a new document and save it as flash_form.asp or flash_form.cfm.

2. Go to Insert > Media > Flash
Browse for the flash_form.swf movie we created and insert it into our document.

3. You should have the flash movie in your document now.

4. (ASP Server Model)
Go to the source code and add the following after the closing </object> tag

Javascript:

<%
if (Request("submit") == "submit") {
Response.Write(Request("txtUsername"));
Response.Write(Request("txtPassword"));
}
%>

5. (Coldfusion Server Model)

6. We have successfully retrieved the variables form the Flash form into our web page! This code should display on this page whatever was submitted in the flash form. This is only to demonstrate how to utilize variables dynamically from flash forms. Now that we have retrieved the values we could do whatever we would normally do with form variables, pass it to a login script, insert a record, send an email, etc..

Happy Programming!
Omar
