So I had a little extra time this weekend to work on some flash stuff so I createD a newsletter sign up form. Which brings me to this point, one of the things that attracts me to Flash so much is that I can easily customize the look and feel of anything I work on really easily. You have to love the Flash IDE, thats all I am saying. Some of the features that I programmed into this sign up form that I would like to point out are:
- Use of the “Enter” key with the keylistener function to make it more user friendly
- Tab indexing functionality also to make it more user friendly
- Error detection on the input field for those users who are retarded (basically it won’t take any input that is not a valid email address)
I am all about user friendliness, and I will get more into that at some point. There is a really simple PHP script that goes along with this, and for right now it just sends the email address the user inputs to a certain email address (right now it just sends it to my email). At some point, I would like for the input to be put directly into a database but thats for later.
Cya
