Creating forms with UI components in Macromedia
Flash MX
This tutorial will teach you how to create a
simple order form using the Macromedia Flash UI components in Macromedia
Flash MX. You'll also learn how to use the LoadVars
ActionScript object to submit form data to a server and display the
server's response. The following live sample uses Macromedia ColdFusion
Server to handle the submission of the form data.
This sample file requires the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

This tutorial is intended for intermediate Flash
users who have working knowledge of ActionScript and access to a web
server running either ColdFusion Server or Microsoft Active Server Pages
(ASP). You can download a free trial of ColdFusion Server, or request
an evaluation CD, on the ColdFusion
Free Trial Download page.
To complete this tutorial, you will need to download
the tutorial files. Included in the download folder are sample ColdFusion
and ASP files that you can use to handle the submitted form data.
Download the Windows creating_forms
source files (296K)
Download the Macintosh creating_forms
source files (232K)
If you have trouble downloading or decompressing
the files, see TechNote 13686.
When the file decompresses, a folder named order_form
is created on your system.
