hi people. im pretty amateur on scripting..but my flash techniques are coming
along ok. I'm creating a site and i want to integrate a feedback form into the
swf file so the user does not hav to click a link to open a html page in a
separate window to fill out a form - instead i want them to be able to enter
their info straight from the flash site and send to to me via email. how do i
start going about this? ive looked up several tutorials and they're ol a bit
confusing. can anyone point me in the right direction?

I also need to know how to do this... now, I know how using regular text fields
with variables through php, but I REALLY need to know how to do this using all
the premade form components. Please help asap so I can get this site up, thanks
so much for your time. :)

Try this - <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm">Kirupa's Flash Based Email Form Using PHP</a>

You use LoadVars or XML Actionscript classes. Then your server side
scripting language handles the data.

Basically you should look at the sendAndLoad methods for these two classes
as the examples there are good:

XML.sendAndLoad: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html

LoadVars.sendAndLoad:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002336.html

Here is a basic PHP example using LoadVars and Flash components:

and one with XML:
