Nope. You still don't have ID's set for the textInput and textField. An item needs an id if you want to reference it somewhere else.
Also, you should keep all the functionality for a component inside the component. The function that you call from the button in the FormComp.mxml file should be inside the FormComp.mxml file. Here are the files as they should look: ContactForm.mxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" xmlns:forms="forms.*" backgroundGradientAlphas="[1.0, 1.0]" backgroundGradientColors="[#06B8EC, #C1E6F1]"> <forms:FormComp/> </mx:Application> FormComp.mxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Form xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="400" height="300"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function sendMyData():void { var obj:Object = new Object(); obj.Name = Name.text; obj.Email = thisIsTheEmailAddressIWant.text; obj.Message = Message.text; myContactService.send(obj); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTTPService id="myContactService" url="FormToEmail.php" method="POST"/> <mx:FormItem label="Name:"> <mx:TextInput id="Name"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Email:"> <mx:TextInput id="thisIsTheEmailAddressIWant"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Message:"> <mx:TextArea id="Message"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem> <mx:Button label="Contact Us" fontSize="16" click="sendMyData()"/> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form> Note that each input field has an id set so that they can be referenced inside the function (I have changed the Email id to show this more obviously). Also note that the FormComp.mxml is totally self contained. It does not rely on anything else. --- In [email protected], "brucewhealton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We are close, hopefully.
