You need text fields of the "Input" type for the user to fill in, with the names of the form fields required by the cgi, and a button with an action of getURL("cgi-bin/mailform","GET") (or POST to send the form fields in the http header rather than querystring) if you want to go straight to that page, or more likely you just want to send the email and carry on with your movie, so use loadVariables("cgi-bin/mailform","GET") (or post).
