Q. Do I need programming knowledge to make this script work?

A. Absolutely not. It's very easy to install a Flash Attach form on your your website. Take a look at this PHP Screenshot. After you make the two changes in the .php file, simply put the .swf, emailattach.php, and upload.php files on your site in the same directory.

Q. I noticed that in some of the forms the back button takes you back to your site's homepage. If I don't have Flash 8, how can I change this to include my homepage.

A. This is not a problem. The code in the Flash file is set to redirect the user to the index page of the domain which contains the file. So there really is no need at all for editiing the Flash file.

Q. I downloaded the forms, but I can't open up the Flash file. What's wrong?

A. The Flash files are only supported by Flash 8. You will need to get a copy of Flash 8, or you may be able to download a trial version if you wish to edit the Flash 8 files.

Q. In internet explorer the flash movie has to be clicked once before it plays or you can enter text. This looks awkward. What can I do?A. There has been much fuss over this, and as I understand it, it is not Microsoft's fault, but rather an issue over the patent rights of the ActiveX controller. Regardless, there is a solution. Follow these steps.

First, download this script and put it in the same folder as your form.

While in design mode on your html editor, click on the flash movie that is in the page. Now go to code mode and add this code right after the last </object> tag. <script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

So the end of the code on the flash movie will look something link this:

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="452" height="177"></embed></object><script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

After that, you should be all set.

Q. I want to keep the files on my server. I don't want them deleted. What do I do?

A. This is no problem. The script defaults to auto-delete the files from your server as soon as the user hits the send button. This is to help block your server from accumulating huge amounts of unused data. However, if you want to keep the files and delete them yourself, just delete the second to the last line in emailattach.php. Take a look at the this screenshot.

Q. I am still having trouble. I have all the files uploaded on my server and I have change all all the information to include my site information. Is there anything else I need to do?

A. Yes. You need to chmod, that is change the permissions, of all the php files on your server. Chmod them to 755, or 777 to be super safe that they will work.

You also may need to creat the folder "/files" on your server in the same directory that contains the .swf. Some hosting providers have certain blocks that will not let the script automatically create the necessary temporary folder, "files". Remember, if you do this, the unlink function in the .php file that deletes your file may become disabled and you may have to regularly delete the files yourself.

Q. I have done everything perfectly, but the image is not uploading.

A. In some cases simply adding an .htaccess file to your server and chmodding that will clear this problem. To learn more about this and .htaccess please visit this helpful webpage.

Or, additionally, you may have to change your settings to turn off Safe Mode

Safe Mode 1

Safe Mode 2

Safe Mode Patch

Q. I am not sure I want to risk the $10 for something that may not work. Do you have something I can test it with?

A. We sure do. Click this link and test then hit download to test a free form. The form is not pretty, and contains our advertising, but you can use it as you wish.

Q. How can I add extra text fields to the form?

A. You can add extra text fields to the forms, but some of the design elements will be lost if you use do this. You can add extra text fields by editing the emailattach.php file and the flash .FLA file.
