Flash as submit?

[rossored]

Does anyone know how I can make a .swf file act as a submit button on a form?

As far as I know, that is impossible.
Your next best option is to create the entire form in Flash, but remember to make an HTML version for people without the plugin
Here's some help making Flash forms:
Actionscript - The Definitive Guide: Forms
Flashkit.com - Creating Forms in Flash
Flash Technotes - Forms in Flash
That should get you well on your way

Bummer.

Can it be done with a Flash button do you know, or is that regarded as the same thing? Have I got to stick with dull old gifs and jpgs?

Thanks for the links if not, I'll take a look when my brain doesnt hurt so much.

umm...this shouldn't be impossible...make your flash button and use this code attatched to the first frame...
btw...make sure to give your button a name in the property inspector and that it matches the name in the function.
i.e. here I use myButton as the name of the button instance. Also, "myform" would be the name you give your form element.

mybutton.onPress=function(){
getURL=("javascript:document.myform.submit()");
}

Cheers,

Of course! Using javascript with getURL in the A.S. should do the trick
Although now you are relying on two technologies that can't be relied on
