I have 3 input texts with the variables as name, email and message…and also a button that has a script of:

```auto
on (release) {
	loadVariablesNum("contactScript.php", 0, "POST");
}

```

The php file is pretty simple, it takes all the variables from flash and uses the mail function to mail it out to an address. When I press the button to send…the bottom left of the browser says “waiting for [blahblah.com](http://blahblah.com)” or “contacting [blahblah.com](http://blahblah.com)” and never changes to detect that the mail has been sent. When I check my email, nothing works, the email from the flash didnt work at all.

Ive check my code a bunch of times and it used to work in MX … not sure why it doesnt work here.

I even went to publish settings and exported as flash 6 and optimized for flash player 6 with AS1.0.

Any ideas how to get email working??
