Flash form's "submit" button not working

Flash form's "submit" button not working - does nothing

Hi everyone, kind of new to flash, so apologize if this is a basic issue - but then atleast easy way to grab some points ;)

So I am setting up a new website using a flash template I downloaded and so far able to figure out everything for the most part. The only issue now is that the submit button for the form is not working. When pressed, you see it being pressed, but does nothing to invoke sending the form. The template had a mailto function setup, so I modified the email address, etc in there and that did not work.

So then researching, I found information in using PHP. So I enabled PHP on my web hosting end, created a php script (copied from one of the message boards), and modified the action in flash template to call this php file. Well, atleast I think I did that.

The site is uploaded at www.innovativenetworks.biz.

Here is a copy of the PHP script:
 
<?  
 
 
 
// Enter your email address here
$adminaddress = "xxxx@innovativenetworks.biz"; 
 
// Enter the address of your website here MUST include http://www. 
$siteaddress ="http://www.innovativenetworks.biz"; 
 
// Enter your company name or site name here 
$sitename = "Innovative Networks"; 
 
// Gets the date and time from your server
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");
 
// Gets the IP Address
if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
 
//Process the form data!
// and send the information collected in the Flash form to Your nominated email address
IF ($action != ""): 
mail("$adminaddress","Visitor Comment from YOUR SITE", 
Hello there. You have an email from a visitor who filled out the contact form on your website. Please read below:\n\n
 
 
First Name: $name

IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
Date/Time:  $date","FROM:$adminaddress"); 
 
 
//This sends a confirmation to your visitor
mail("$vemail","Thank You for visiting $sitename", "Hi $name,\n
Thank you for your message to $sitename! We will respond based on your provided information shortly.\n
Best Regards,
$sitename
$siteaddress","FROM:$adminaddress"); 
 
//Confirmation is sent back to the Flash form that the process is complete
$sendresult = "Your message has been sucessfully sent!";
$send_answer = "answer=";
$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
echo "$send_answer";
 
ENDIF;
?>
