Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / September 2006

Hi all,

I have searched the Interent and written to several forums asking this same
question however no one either seems to know the answer or just does not want
to advise me in any way.  I have however had a few responses however none of
them paid off.

My Question:

I am in the process of creating a flash website and I am on the last little
function I wish to provide.  I want to create a flash contact us form as some
people might not have an email client set up therefore I don't want to just but
a mailto URL in.

I have built the form and named the input text boxes, and believe I have most
of the action script complete.  I need to know how to use Coldfusion to
validate the flash form and then send the email with the form data in it.  As
far as I can understand in flash I create a LoadVars method which puts all the
form data in this and when the user click the submit button flash should send
the loadvars to a CFC or simliar page.  This coldfusion page (server-side)
handles the processing , i.e. validation reports back if need be or continues
to send the information to a predefined email address i.e. someone@anywhere.com.

Can some one please help either point me in a direction of a tutorial(s) or
provide me with an example of what I am trying to do.  I am currently running
Flash 8 and Coldfusion 8 not sure if this has any bearing on what I am trying
to do.  I am not sure if I require Flash Remoting or not, however I do remember
reading (not sure if this is correct) Coldfusion has Flash Remoting integrated.

I appreciate any help, support or advise anyone can offer on this issue.  I am
keen to get this moving as my project end date is fast approaching.
