Flash API sample
Posted by David Greiner on August 24, 2006
If you're looking at creating a Campaign Monitor subscribe form for a client in Flash, we've just added a sample file to our API documentation that provides a simple walkthrough on the best approach to take.
The sample includes a simple subscribe form that passes through name, email address and requires a checkbox to be checked to indicate permission.
A huge thanks goes to Nick Lloyd from Stephen Thomas and Greg McMullen for putting this together for us.

It doesn't appear as though this works with MailBuild. Is that true? Is the API different, or should I just be able to change the URLs and get it to work with MailBuild as I would with Campaign Monitor?

That's right Raymond, the API's are actually different and this sample won't work directly with MailBuild. Having said that, we do have a MailBuild customer working on this now and hope to have a MailBuild sample available soon too. We're not Flash experts unfortunately, otherwise we'd be happy to put one together.
