Now we are going to add a few things to our basic form. Whereas before our contact form contained just 4 fields (name, subject, message and email) I have now added a drop down menu and checkboxes.

With Flash MX and the Flash 6 plug-in, we finally have unicode support in Flash. This makes it a viable tool to display text in languages other than English, including all Euro-languages with accents, Middle Eastern right-to-left scripts and many Asian Languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc. It also helps to make dynamic text, with HTML, in Flash a more appealing visual aid to our designs since we can use bullets, arrows and symbols more creatively. Hence Unicode opens up a new door for graphic design with Type as well.
There are more than a few pitfalls to this process though. It is worth mentioning a few basic concepts about Unicode and document encoding for HTML in general. This is by no means a comprehensive discussion on the issue, but rather a quick crash course on language encoding and how browsers handle language issues.

You can download Ming from here. Ming can serve as a complete Flash replacement tool and you can create as many swfs as you like without ever touching Flash! It is really a server-side Flash program. To delve into more Ming, you must check out these documents

SWF is the file format used by Macromedia Flash to deliver graphics, animation and sound to users on the Internet. Flash enables you to provide a very rich and dynamic interface to the user. Almost 90% of web users can view SWF content without having to install a browser based plug-in, and over 200 million people have downloaded the Flash player. Macromedia opened the specifications for SWF in April 1998 and SWF support was added to PHP in PHP 4(rc2).

Have you got a website? Flash Attach contact forms are an awesome add-on for your website. Click on the pictures, hit attach file and see the file right on the page (if it is a graphic), enter (any) information, and click "send" to see how they work. These PHP and Flash based add-ons work without programming knowledge and include step by step instructions.
