Does anyone know a nice clear tutorial for making forms in flash that can be linked to a cgi script such as matts formmail? I have seen ones that cover just text boxes and others that cover check boxes etc but they complicate things with database bindings etc and for someone stupid like me it’s overkill. All i want to do is send some info in a few text boxes a couple of check boxes and the odd radio button. It’s drivin me nuts! ---

Why not use php and send the form data to an email address? ---
