Hi,

I am at wits end. I have a simple contact for on my web site. I built it just as the tutorial instructed and it’s just not working. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

This is the Action Script for the form:  
var senderLoad:LoadVars=new LoadVars();  
var receiveLoad:LoadVars=new LoadVars();

submit.onRelease=function() {  
senderLoad.yourEmail=yourEmail.text;  
senderLoad.sendAndLoad(“[http://atlastotalweb.com/send.php](http://atlastotalweb.com/send.php)”,receiveLoad);

}

receiveLoad.onLoad = function() {  
if(this.sentOk) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“success”);  
}  
else {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“failed”);  
}

}

This is the send.php file that I have on the server:

\<?PHP

$to = "shandahardin@yahoo.com";  
$subject = “Flash Contact Form Submission”;  
$message = "Name: " . $theName;  
$message .= "  
Email: " . $theEmail;  
$message .= "

Message: " . $the message;  
$headers = “From: $the Email”;  
$headers .= "  
Reply-To: $theEmail";

$sentOk = mail ($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

echo “sentOk=” . $sentOk;
