Ok, next, put that string into a variable and use the var in the url string. When that works, all you need to do is generate the string from the form, and put it in the var.

Thanks for your response. I re-wrote the code so at least I can send body text without the form data. private function sendEmail():void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest('mailto:kearney@ <mailto:kear...@gmail.com?body=some%20body%20text%20goes%20in%20here'> gmail.com?body=some%20body%20text%20goes%20in%20here'),'_self') } Now the problem is how to specify the contents of the FormItems in the 'mailto'.

I have done this a lot, but do not have my code in front of me right now. Do it one step at a time.

I'm trying to do this via the default program on the user's computer because it seems potentially simplest. If there's a better basic strategy or a big problem my aforementioned strategy, please clue me in. What I've tried that hasn't worked is calling this function on clicking the Submit button: private function sendEmail():void { var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:recepient@ <mailto:recepi...@...?body=> ...?body="+ nameFormItem); navigateToURL(u, "self"); } I suspect there's at least a problem with the code after the email address.... Better for the FormItem text to be put into Model first? Need to use an HTTP Service? Thanks for your attention.
