RE: [web-design] Re: Submission Of Form in Flash Website

 

There really is not much I can offer in the way of help without seeing the
flv file. If I was you I would ask for some usability testing to be done on
this site. To get to any of the content I have to set there and wait for a
bunch of I guess cool things to happen before I am able to even get to the
pages. The most irritating part is the information is not framed right and I
have to physically grab the slider to move up and down the page content.
That alone will make me leave the site but I guess if someone wants to
participate in this bad enough they will suffer the non-functional elements
to get where they want to go. Still I would put together a small team of
random testers to run through the site and give you feedback on what they
like and don't like. Armed with this info you can take that to the client
and convince them that a Flash site is not the way to go. I could be wrong
and in India this type of site may be better accepted than it is where I am
from.

The form looks complete and all you need to do now is to make sure your
variables are set right, the server side scripts are setup and your method
(POST or GET) is configured and it should work. As for the appearance I
again would have to see the working file in order to tell you what is going
on. A fairly good tutorial can be found in the link below to give you a
better idea of where you are with the form.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your response. Indeed, that was the requirement of my client.

Have a look at: http://kardikhanahai.com/flash/.
<http://kardikhanahai.com/flash/> We've used a modal dialog and found a
solution that. We are trying to get a better finish to the pop up.

The form is in the "participate Online" section. Your views are welcome.

Regards,

Kabir
