    How do you use a .swf or .flv file and turn it into a submit button?

    Hmm you need to convert it either into a GIF or an FLA for that. GIF won't be of much help, as the button would be looping continuously, but depends on the SWF you are using.

    On the FLA part, its near to impossible to generate an FLA from a Copyrighted SWF, but Sothink has a software that can work well in 1 in a 1000 Conditions. You may try that and check it out.

    Once done with the above procedures, you may link to Submit Form via GIF or alternatively incoorporate a getURL tag in FLA.

    I was thinking of using an HTML form with a flash submit button, but not sure how to do that.

    I was reading this earlier but got so confused. I don't suppose there is a simple template where you can make one by copying and pasting your information.

    So, HOW do I submit on your form when I don't have Flash installed?

    And don't tell me to install Flash. It is the worst memory hog I have ever seen and I refuse to re-install it.

    Seems impossible to the minute. I researched it a bit, and from what I find out is that the Flash part would not be able to read HTML in the first place. The Flash fields are given a variable name in the movie. HTML has no such feature. I am really not sure, if this can be done.

    I'm pretty sure you can add something in the background so that if anyone doesn't have flash a regular button just appears. But it wouldn't matter anyway-the script I have requires you to be able to view YouTube which requires flash anyway.

    Thanks for your help. I'll look into it further and see if I can combine some crazy scripts. It will probably be very slow, but it will look cool...

    Good Luck with that :). I believe it can be done, we just need to understand Actionscript and HTML in a more diversified sense for that.
