I am basically a Flash newbie trying to act as an expert. My church needs a
website and I am trying to help. They chose a freely available template from
"flashmo" that, fortunately, I've been able to modify with some success. Two
problems: they want to have a form for prayer requests and I do not have the
knowledge, nor the time to study how, to do it with PHP or ASP. I found a
template that uses four input fileds that are later passed to the user's email
program (i.e. Outlook EXpress). The template works great but, when I attempt
to replicate it in the church's flash site, it doesn't work. We would greatly
appreciate being directed to any tutorial that clearly explains how to do it.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Your better off using php, there are a lot of tutorials that are simple to use
and plenty of resources to help you put this together. Try starting here:

form.loadVariables("email.asp", "POST");

then add this Code in ASP not PHP,

<%
DIM stremail, strsalutation, strfirstname, strlastname ,strjobtitle,
strcomapnyname, strweb, mail, reply, objMail

stremail = request.form("requiredemail")
strsalutation = request.form("requiredsalutation")
strfirstname = request.form("requiredfirstname")
strlastname = request.form("requiredlastname")
strjobtitle = request.form("requiredjobtitle")
strcomapnyname = request.form("requiredcomapnyname")
strweb = request.form("requiredweb")

mail = "info@whatever.com"
reply = request.form("requiredemail")
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.From = reply
objMail.Subject = "Message from Hospitality-MaldivesContact.com Media Kit
form."
objMail.To = mail

objMail.Body = "Email: " & stremail & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Salutation: " & strsalutation & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"First name: " & strfirstname & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Last name: " & strlastname & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Jobtitle: " & strjobtitle & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Comapny name: " & strcomapnyname & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"URL: " & vbCrLf & strweb

objMail.Send
Set objMail = nothing
'response.redirect "thankyou.asp"
%>

<%
strfirstname = request.form("requiredfirstname")
Response.Write " " & "Hello, " & strfirstname &
""
%>
