Is it possible to have an action script email a variable to an email address.

This sounds exactly what I need to do. I have a variable defined that I need
to have emailed to an address when a button is clicked. What is the script to
send the email? Is it required to use Outlook? Can this be done in the
background without the user's knowledge?
(The way I have it set up is simple, but doesn't add the variable to the email
and opens Outlook. If they don't use Outlook, it won't work. Plus they can
simple not send the email.)

Thanks for your help.

if the user has any default email program flash can call that (using getURL)
and there's no way to do that without user interaction (and knowledge of what's
occurring).

you can send email without user interaction/knowledge but you need some
server-side coding (like asp, php, perl etc) that flash can call.

both methods can send the contents of variables.

Thanks for your reply. I expect to use the php method. Can you direct me to the code (Flash and/or php) to do that? Examples or a resource would be great.

Thanks,

search google for php email. there are plenty of resources.

Great! Thanks.
