ARGH!!!  
I don’t know anything about flash!!  
Can someone just tell me how to make a simple form that once it’s filled out it will e-mail to me whatever the person filled out in it?  
I can’t figure it out… I’m stupid.  
So if you guys know any tutorials (easy ones) let me know.

You need php in order to do that. If you want to do it client side, you can only open the default email program and fill in information there.

Isn’t there any way to do it with CGI script?  
Just make it so that a submit button would send the information that they enter in the flash to my e-mail?

not that I know of. Php is the way to do it. Look at Jubba’s tutorial. It gives a full rundown on how to do it with php.

I don’t know about CGI. I started with PHP and this tutorial has helped me a lot with mailing stuff to myself from forms (in flash):
