Because I'm easily confused, and I didnt win the lottery and so I still have to care about working...

I am using VSD and want to add a form that I built using the CC REALLYCOOLFORMBUILDER tool. Since this tool creates both an HTML file, and a XML file... what is the best way to include the form on a VSD page...

Use the "HTML tool", or the "Add Flash App tool" (both are buttons on left side of the VSD screen)?

You want to always use the "Add Flash Tool". Just browse to find the XML file and that is it. Save and upload.

Cool heh? :)

Way cool! and one final question...

The Form builder creates 6 different files, which I dont save in the _website folder (which I think is properly referred to as the 'root' folder). But the form builder tells me that all files have to be included in the project when I upload it.

Do I put all those files in the root folder before doing an upload? I tried using the Add Files function from the Settings menu, but it doesnt let me add all the files that. So I am copying them to the root folder by hand. Is this proper?

When you save your form, first save it to the _website folder so that when you backup your content, you have all the files there to re-edit your form.

The only files needed to process the form is the .asp/.php, .xml and .swf and any related images. The "Add Flash Tool" automatically will copy those to your Website.
