How to create Flash Forms and mailto

[markisr]

I am creating a form in Flash and using the "UI Components" I don't have much knowledge of CGI, ASP, etc (i sure would like to, however). How can I create a form that stores the users' responses into variables and send it to my email address?:cool:

I know i need to use "mailto:me@myemail.com" but, how do I include all the fields as well?

Thanks!!!!!!!

I believe there is a tutorial in the tutorial section about this maybe you should check it out.

Yeah, I checked that one out, but you need to use a PHP3+ server to get it to work, and I don't have access to a PHP3+ server (let alone know what one is)

Hi

Any chance of posting the URL of the tutorial from Macromedia, farafiso? I can't find it...

I have the same problem as masrkisr. I've used string formatting code in Flash to format the text in the body of an email. It works a treat when I run it from the .swf, but as soon as I embed the .swf into a page of HTML, all the text in the email reverts to one big line.

And I also don't have a PHP3 server, so although I tried Jesse's method, I have no way of knowing if it works or not...

Any pointers appreciated - this is doing my napper in!

TIA
