Re: FLASH: Advanced 'mailto' instance

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

James,


Have the user set the variables by typing information into text field 

boxes, then they hit a Submit button whose action is to Load Variables (a 

subset of  Load Movie) that targets an asp script on the server. I believe 

Flash4 Magic has an example that sends to a cgi script. In any case, you 

need to send the variables to some sort of script that in your case 

compiles an email and mails it to the appropriate address. There's not a 

ton of programming required in the Flash part, but you'll need to know how 

to write the Non-Flash script (asp, cgi, perl, etc.) that receives the 

variables and generates the email.
