Input text field

I have a question about creating a text input field that will
print out the contents to the flash movie. I wanted to create an
e-card. There would be an input text field so people could write a
message. After writing a message they would click a view button and
see their message within the context of the e-card (maybe in some
fancy font). Is this possible in Flash CS3 or does it need to be
done in Flex? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Input text field
Is the question that difficult. It seems straight forward.
How would you complete this task? Anybody, anybody - maybe!Input text field
Are you talking about emailing the card? Or just having it be
viewed after then put the text in?
Just having it be viewed once the text is in - a preview mode
before sending the e-card.
I have just finished a job like this and it takes 2 swfs and
some backend coding to accomplish. In my case I had a sender SWF
with dynamic text fields (and more) that a user would edit, then
they send it off to a ColdFusion script which parses it creates and
emails a link to a second user. You have to send a link because you
cannot send SWFs in emails. Then the link points to a receiver SWF
which picks up variables from the URL to populate its dynamic text
field.
