Re: cfform Flash and value
Phillip, To prepopulate the form elements of the Flash Form, you'd have to use the 'value' attribute of your various form tags: cfinput type=text name=FirstName value=#REQUEST.myQuery.FirstName# / You cannot use JavaScript to populate or validate a Flash Form. You can use ActionScript to validate a Flash Form, as outlined in this post from Ray: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2005/9/20/Ask-a-Jedi-Flash-Form-Custom-Validation Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com On 9/9/2009 11:21 PM, Phillip Vector wrote: I get that value is not a part of the cfinput if the cfform is set to flash.

Re: cfform Flash and value
Hmmm. Yeah, I missed that part of your email. Sorry about that. If the query has a record, then I would think your use case would work. Did you dump it prior to the form? Is the form in a cfoutput statement? I'd like to help, but honestly I never use cfform in anything other than rapid prototyping, and even then I never use the 'flash' type form.

One other thing. Did you view source for the page? Are your values getting passed in to the call to create the Flash movie?

Re: cfform Flash and value
If you don't see something like name/value pairs, for the fields and your values, in the source as flashvars in the object creation call, then I can't see how it would ever load your data. UPDATE: I just checked cfquickdocs, and discovered the following information regarding the 'value' attribute of cfinput, in conjuction with the 'flash' cfform type: 'Flash: optional; specifies text for button type inputs: button, submit, and image.' That seems to suggest that you would *not* be able to set the value of the field of a Flash Form (it says, basically, the HTML works as expected).

Re: cfform Flash and value
I've noticed that as well. The thing is, I've seen flash form do this. So how do they do it?
