I am a beginner in Flash (and programming in general) and have been trying to figure out how to send informtion from a form to an email in FlashMX.

I have a form created with three boxes (Name, email and comments) but can’t get the submit button to auto-populate an email and automatically send it.

Any help would be appreciated!

To send information from a form, you’ll need a server side scripting language like PHP or ASP.

Run through these other threads, they should give you an idea.
