videogamer2791,
I think you have 2 choices, either an app server sends the email, or you
rely on the default email program on the users' machines (using something
like: URLRequest("mailto:"+ ... ) )
On the web, you have this issue sending email regardless of what you use
to code the UI (e.g. regardless if HTML, Flash, Flex, etc.)
Following is a sample method for sending mail from default email program on
the users' machines using AS3/Flex:
private function clickSendEmail_submitBtn():void {
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"+
subjectBox +"&body="+ messageBox );
navigateToURL(u,"_self");
}
btw ... any app server Flash can talk to, Flex can talk to too. Commonly
including: PHP, Java, ColdFusion, WebServices, etc. Will pembrokecycle.com
have access to an app server? If so, please post back regarding what
language. And of course there are any of a number of ways to send the data
from Flash/Flex to the app server.
Please post back any follow up questions you may have.

i am making a web page for a friend that will be at pembrokecycle.com,
I am a Flash AS coder with little experience with Flex, but I knew
that it would be a little easier with data, so I used that instead
(plus, the components look nicer). I am pretty much done with every
thing else except for the "Contact Us" page. In flash, I know to use
a php script with a new Load Vars class, but I have no idea what to
do with flex. I have seen Google searches with coldfusion, but no
tuts. I don't even know if google domains (which he is using),
supports coldfusion, so i would like to save that as a last resort.
some one please help me.
Also, im only 16, so please keep the explanation a little dumbed
down, even though i could probably understand it anyways.
