      I would need to see your flash page but

      _parent.name="" ; will always = nothing you need to set it by using whatever was typed in the text field. aka _parent.name = _parent.name.te xt;

          Hi thanx for getting back to me, i really have spent weeks on this form, what make it worse was i moved to a vurtual server at the same time so obviously my thoughts kept coming back to the problem being with the server.
          Do you mean lke this

          on (release) {
          _parent.getURL( "contact.php"," _blank",
          "GET");
          _parent.name="n ame";
          _parent.phone=" phone";
          _parent.email=" email";
          _parent.message ="message";
          }

          the form is at www.concrete-crusher.co.uk
          and is the contact form

          once again thank you for your time
          Best wishes Drek

              on (release) {
              _parent.getURL( "contact.php"," _blank",
              "GET");
              _parent.name="n ame";
              _parent.phone=" phone";
              _parent.email=" email";
              _parent.message ="message";
              }

              See when you do it like this


              All your email is going to ever show is
              name: name
              phone: phone
              email: email
              message: message


              You need to be pulling that information from your flash form which Only you would know the names of the form elements to pull the data from.

                  The problem i get when i do it like that is just the headings in the contact.php
                  and noughing from Flash. Do you mean the var in flash = the form
                  e.g. text input box = var:name?? i would be happy for you to have a copy of the .fla if i could send it to an email address
                  best wishes Derek

                      you may send it to me at iam_clint@hotma il.com

                      You need to be pulling the data into your form variables from the text boxes within the flash object
