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] Re: text from a form into an e-mail?
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.

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...@...?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'.

RE: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Re: text from a form into an e-mail?
Ok, next, put that string into a variable and use the var in the url string.
When that works, all you need to do is generate the string from the form,
and put it in the var.
