Hi


I'm making a contact form so when you click the submit button it opens up a email window were the subject and message is already fill in because they did it in the contact form. I dont really know which code I should use. I've only gotten this far. The subject and message is textinput and textarea components.


var vEmail:URLRequest = new URLRequest(" mailto:mail@example.com?subject=subjectText&body=bodyText" );

bEmail.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fEmailClick);

function fEmailClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

navigateToURL(vEmail," _blank" ) ;

}

    use:


    var vEmail:URLRequest = new URLRequest(" mailto:mail@example.com?subject="+yoursubjecttextfield.text+"&body="+yourmessagetextfield.text );

    bEmail.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fEmailClick);

    function fEmailClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

    navigateToURL(vEmail," _blank" ) ;

    }

    but if I can ask a nother question on another thing. I want to make a external textfile load in to a dynamic textfield when I push a button. I searched online but could fine anything that i could understand. I only got this far with code and it doesnt work. 

    var meddelande:TextField = new TextField();

    var textURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("extern.txt");

    var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    function knappa3(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

              textLoader.load(textURL);

              meddelande.text = e.target.data;

              trace("File loaded successfully.");

    }

    Del1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 291120: Access of undefined property e.

    which is medelande.text = e.target.data;


    use:

    var meddelande:TextField = new TextField();

    addChild(meddelande);

    var textURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("extern.txt");

    var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);

    // calling knappa3, starts the loading of extern.txt

    function knappa3(event:MouseEvent):void{

              textLoader.load(textURL);

    }

    function loadcompleteF(e:Event):void{

        meddelande.text = e.target.data;  // you can't assign the data until loading is complete

    }
