As you can tell, complete newbie. I am using ActionScript 3.0.

I am trying to make a contact button that pops up the default email program, initiates a new email and enters a contact address. The only references I have found involve PHP.

Is PHP code allowed in Flash or is it a call to an external bit of code?

Or am I WAY off track? (The most likely scenario) 🙂

[Edit] Figured it out - duh…
