FLASH: Flash 4 mailto:data

[Gareth Squire]

John & Kim,


Thought I'd try and help although I don't have the complete answer. The

problem is similar to one that I had with a html form - you have to encode

the data sent with the form otherwise it is sent in .ATT format - as you

know. Despite searches at every conceivable site/book I have yet to find out

what this suffix relates to - or a program that is capable of reading it.

    The answer in html is in the form tag you encode the data with the

following: enctype="text/plain" - this sends the form data within the email

as text - not as an attachment. The complete tag should look something like

this;

<form method="post" enctype="text/plain"

action="

memyemail [dot] com (subject: ) (mailto:memyemail [dot] com?subject=)

'formdata'">


Now I'm afraid this is as far as I can help as I can't see how you include

this in the load variables action in your form as it simply contains the

mailto command. I hope I have shed a glimmer of light if not the answer -

perhaps a more knowledgeable member of the list might jump in and solve the

problem.


let me know how you get on,


Gareth
