Re: FLASH: Advanced 'mailto' instance

[James Cutts]

Thanks for that Mark


However - surely there is an easier way to do this by using the users

client-side email program?


I can use Flash to send an email to a specified 'address' and with a

specified 'subject'. Surely there's some way of making these variables

that can be set by the user.


Also is there not a way of implementing variables in the 'content'

of the message?


Something like:


On (Release)

  Get URL

 ("mailto:"friends_email"?subject=Pub%20Quiz%20Challenge?content=Dear%20

 "friends_name"%20your%20friend%20"name"%20scored%20"score"%20out%20of%2010)

End On


I guess Im looking for a neater answer than going server side and using

other strange languages.


Any more help much appreciated


Cheers
