Can I Create Forms In Flash?

Hi everyone, i am a bit new to the web design world. I just completed a book on how to USe  Macromedia Flash. However there was no mention on how to create forms there.

I am planning to create a flash based webpage that has a contact form or registration page, that maybe submits to my email address.

Can anyone help out please?

why don't you create your form using xhtml instead of flash. Macromedia flash has it own short-comings and for compatibility wise, it's not advisable!

im not sure poster is implying that he doesnt know how to do forms with html/xhtml he might just be trying to venture into something different.

@post,

im not certain but i think i have seen tools for creating forms in flash when i attempted learning macromedia flash 7.

bigjoe,

I got the inference from:

I guess poster wasn't specific enough.

poster:
I am happy to have been of service.  Again, get the basics, no matter how much you think you know down pat then venture into the flash world.  That's all I can say.  Good luck!

Thanks guys. I was so carried away by the effects in flash. You know like when you visit http://www.omotola.tv.  but i will take all the advice so far. Work on W3schools for like 6months. then i will see if i still need Flash,

if you noticed from that website, the form section is not flash, so all you need to do is design a page for the form, similar to the other pages and just link it

What am saying is that the contact form http://www.omotola.tv/comments.html is not a flash page it is html, yes you can develop forms in flash, but for simplicity it is always better to replicate the flash design in html just for the contact form

Yes you have got a point, you can do that in flash if you want to, I don't remember think I have done it before, but I urge you to read on using flexi and amfphp am not very good at it, but you may have to search for it.

And please can you explain to me what you are trying to correct me about because I don't understand thank you.

ok thats great 

The point is we are both talking of 2 different things, am just saying to the poster and not you,  ok that he could just do it in html and not bother wasting time doing it in flash if he can do it in html simple, is that ok with you biggjoe?

its all good man.

Na Wahoo dual core, you just like this things, sorry to disappoint you, I don't like conflict you know

Hahahahahahaha,  dhtml its ok, but it will be nice to show us though I work with in a software development company and we have got a few action script developers here, using Flexi builder and amfphp, it is really cool wish i could show some of our work, but am not allowed.

hehe I tried to help at first, but I got told off 

I like this, we are Nigerians, its in hour blood to want to show off, who is better, no matter how you say it or see it we are all the same, some ask a question some tries to answer, someone tells the person for the type of answer they give, the argument goes on the poster is forgotten, it becomes a battle of words between two people who don't even need help, then another person comes on and then start to talk about why is it that this 2 guys are battling instead of helping the poster, yet this person too, as also ignored the poster and he joins in the argument, more people go on about the guys arguing and talk about how much typical Nigerians they are, but it does not end there, the poster is long forgotten and does not even bother asking for more help, he probably found the answer from another forum and not bother,

Wow the argument still drags on the topic has reached up to 50 or more post, more people have joined in the argument, but yet they ain't even bothered about the poster, we are yet to receive post from the poster saying thank you for your help,

Well this is the harsh truth and reality of the way we do things in Nigeria, I am half Nigerian the attitude I get from my fathers side who is Nigerian is totally different from my mum's, but I like it, that is what makes us who we are unique in all ways possible.

I may even have websites that I need advise on, I dare not post it on the forum, I am worried, I would get cained and slauthered and not even given a chance to  then the post will go on with others arguing about there comments so why don't we give it a break and just do what we do, because we know it will never change,

The helpers, are there, give them a chance to even try to help, you chase them away no one will want to help any more, the arguers let them keep doing it, its the most interesting thing that brings me back to this forum and the oh am the best guys, it helps them build there confidence we all need some sort of way to build our confidence even if it means to make others look stupid, I once asked my Dad as a kid, we passed some area and there was one big massive house and tiny houses around that house, I asked my Dad why isn't that guy helping people around him, he said he likes everyone looking at him as the biggest man in the area, its typical, you give me your hand I help you up, and you do the same for me thats how we move up in life,

Ok enough with the rant, I have let it all out now phew,
