Forms in Flash

I have a website template in Flash. On the last page, there is a contact us form, with entry spaces for name, email address and message. I want to have a similar form on a different page of this template. It will be longer so I will need a scroll bar also. How much more work is it to put a second form in this template and add the scroll bar? Can you cut and past like you would in HTML?

Someone told me this would require new programming. How true is that?

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.

Incidentally the only quirky thing about doing this..ie..not making it a completely separate form setup (requiring scripting)..is that if you fill in one of the forms..and then go and look at the other form ..you will find the same information already filled in..as they have the same variable name..but you could add buttons on each form that cleared the fields..or even clear them when one is sent.

ok.

one form will have name, email and message.

the second form will have name, address, email, phone, request, more information.

Because it's a longer form, it will need the scroll.

Once you have cut and pasted, can you just change the variables?

Zeffer

no..because the server-side script needs those (variable names) to compile the email..so you would have to write a new script for the 'phone' and 'request' , 'more' ..if they are separate fields.. then it would work
the template makers must have given a php script..or similar.
