there are several ways to do this, here's one.

from an action layer:
<instance name>.onRelease = function () {
getURL("mailto:[e-mail]");
}

if you're writing the script in the action window with the email button selected, use this:
on (release) {
getURL("mailto:[e-mail]");
}

To test this script, you must open the swf in a browser.
Good luck

i did exactly what you did, changed the <instance name> to btn.
I inserted this in the "as" layer on the first frame.

now it looks like this.
btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("mailto:[e-mail]");
}

Now, i press Ctrl+enter and the 'animation' starts.

When i click on the <instance:btn> nothing happens. No errors, no nothing. The other instance works though

<!-- btn2.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.cbistands.com");
}
--> Please help...

to do what you require, you need to set up 3 things:

1- a form made up of Input Text boxes, etc, and assign each form item a "Var" name (not the same thing as an instance name)... you can set your Var in the Properties tab.

2- an external PHP script.

3- a button (in flash) directing your form variables to the PHP script.

I did that step by step like they said but i tried to put the AS in the buttons action, but it told me it isn't legit.

 
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
 
&
 
onClipEvent(data){
 
   _root.nextFrame();
 
}
 
 

So i created a new layer "actions"
I also created a "email.php" file (to import the code that is)

<?php
$sendTo = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
 
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
 

Is there something i'm doing wrong? Or what am i doing wrong, please help...
