At the instance or global level of an mxml file, you can only
initiate variables to simple values. “richTextInstance” does not yet
exist when you are trying to access the text property value, thus
the error. Declare the variable as you are, but wait to initialize
the value by using a ceeationComplete handler.
Now, mx:Form is just a layout container, and won’t process the field
data for you in any special way. You will need to get the value
from each form item control individually, and build the string you
want. (or, if the form changes update a model, use the model.)
Right, so what I had built thus far is:
private var mailMe:String = mailto:kear...@gmail.com?subject=answersbody=
;
private function sendEmail():void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(mailMe + unNaturalText_1.text +
unNaturalText_2.text),'_self');
}
It's working well now except that there's no separation between each
text block from each TextInput instance in the email output. I'm
trying to put each text block in its own paragraph. I've tried
inserting \n and \r in various combinations with + and the .text
instances. None of those thus far works to separate the text blocks
into their own paragraphs. What am I missing?
Is there good reason to use a model for this situation?
Tracy, I appreciate your patience, persistence and teaching.

[flexcoders] text from a form into an e-mail?
Hi
I'm trying to move text filled into a form in an app being built with
Flash Builder beta2 into the body of an e-mail. I'm trying to do this
via the default program on the user's computer because it seems
potentially simplest. If there's a better basic strategy or a big
problem my aforementioned strategy, please clue me in.
What I've tried that hasn't worked is calling this function on
clicking the Submit button:
private function sendEmail():void
{
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(mailto:recepi...@isp.com?body=+
nameFormItem);
navigateToURL(u, self);
}
I suspect there's at least a problem with the code after the email
address
Better for the FormItem text to be put into Model first? Need to use
an HTTP Service?
Thanks for your attention.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: text from a form into an e-mail?
Thanks for your response. I re-wrote the code so at least I can send
body text without the form data.
private function sendEmail():void
{
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest('mailto:kear...@gmail.com?body=some%20body%20text%20goes%20in%20here'),'_self')
}
Now the problem is how to specify the contents of the FormItems in the
'mailto'.

How does it not work? Where is the problem? Can you build and
send body text without using the form data?
I have done this a lot, but do not have my code in front of me right
now.
Do it one step at a time.

[flexcoders] How to interact with the contents of a SWF loaded into Flex?
The problem: from buttons in Flex, how to control going to a frame or frame label in a timeline, in a SWF made in Flash 9, which is then loaded into a Flex project by a SWFLoader component. There will be buttons for next and previous. Each frame to be accessed by a corresponding State in Flex. How to refer to and interact with the contents of a SWF loaded into Flex? Would the above best be done as a Flex component exported from Flash 9? Thanks Kearney Buskirk

These are images which get fed a different source in different states, through a mx:SetProperty/ (to make a slide show with captions). The above code worked in the starting state (which is not the same as the base state) but then didn't work in subsequent states. I don't understand why that would be the case. I suppose I could insert a mx:SetProperty/ for the autoLoad and a mx:SetEventHandler/ for the complete event in each state but there must be a more elegant solution. Thank you very much for your response. Kearney Buskirk Putting this within the opening VBox tag didn't work: creationPolicy=queued creationIndex=0 creationPolicy is really for the container (VBox) itself, not for its children. That is to say, it does not affect the order in which the children are created. Moreover, here the issue is not that the second one is _created_ before the first, it is that the image inside the second one gets loaded before the first. -- http://manishjethani.com/ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo !
