Simple AS3 Contact Form Using PHP

Jay on Jul 20th 2009 with 34 comments

This contact form class is super-customizable and simple to use. I’ve used it in lots of projects and it’s easy to make it look different every time. Pretty much everything can be easily customized including all the colors and text and validation copy. Requires a server running PHP for the email to send.

Free for any use other than reselling.

      The form works great! I’m struggling trying to figure out how to change the font and how to add Send to the arrow button. Does anyone know how to do this. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. And again great job on the form.

    The form is nice, but it does not understand Cyrillic alphabet. I am so sad.

      When I load the code from ContactForm.fla into a different .fla file (the code for a page of my website), I can no long input into the fields or see text.

      I saw that someone else had this problem as well.

      Suggestions?

      Thank you,

        I am also getting two error messages: “Call to a possibly undefined method FontText and FontSmall on lines 240 and 370″ on ContactForm.as.

        Originally, I assumed that you meant var font:Font = new Font(), not var font:Font = new FontText(), so I changed the code.

        However, since I am unable to see as text in my form, I was wondering if the methods FontText and FontSmall are supposed to be imported from somewhere in addition to what has already been included?

        I use CS5, and perhaps the library location changed?

        Thoughts?

    I was able to import the swf file into a Flash Catalyst file and it actually works. But I gotta ask you, HOW does this work? The FLA file consists of nothing! Just a blank file with AS3 script in first frame that merely assigns colors to the text, button, etc, but nothing else. How did you do this?

    Also, why is it that this can be imported into Flash Catalyst but when I write my own extremely simple contact form and import the swf file, it does not load when I put it on my server? I have to reload the site and then it appears, but yours appears the first time I go to my site. So many questions, I know, but your form is like finding a rock that defies gravity. You just have to ask how it works!

    Does anyone know how to customize the PHP for a godaddy site. When uploaded to the godaddy server, it says the message has been sent, but I don’t receive the e-mail.

    I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with godaddy. Any suggestions??

      I’ve though i read somewhere that godaddy disables the phpmail function. i can’t confirm this to be true though. I read it when i was trying to set up a mailing list.

      whether it’s true or not. i would suggest you find a better hosting service. I had nothing but problems and restrictions from godaddy.
