If you’re using a cgi mailer, you can make a Flash form just the same way as you make a normal html form. For every field in your html form (visible and hidden) you need to define a variable. To submit your Flash form use getUrl() and sent the variables using POST.

If your server has php enabled the php mail() function is even easier (and a nice way to dip you toes into the php ocean)

\< ?php //as always delete the space between \< and ?  
mail(addressee(s), subject, message [, anyOptionalHeaders]);  
?\>

One other thing - when you use POST with getUrl() it appends every variable instantiated on the timeline from which the getUrl() is called. Usually this isn’t a problem but if you’ve a lott of clutter on the main timeline then put your mailer vars into a movie clip and call the getUrl() from within the clip
