ok ive got the contact page ready i just cant get it to send the email or nothing .... any help

Hi Brad, the server that your page sits on does it have access to a programming language such as PHP, ASP, or something? I believe for the Flash to actually be able to send an email out you are going to need to interface with some backend programming.

That's correct Bigweb, you have to use some backend programming. Essentially you pass the flash variables to some send mail script.

There's arleady a couple of very good posts here using Flash with PHP sendmail

oh and would it be more simple if i upload the contacts page i got created ???? to make sure i have everything right ???

Yeah I would recommend working with your contact page you created on his website. Sometimes things behave a bit differently that way. I would upload it and just test it under a filename he isn't using right now. I wouldn't replace what he has with yours yet until you are sure everything is working the way you want.

no were not , if we do ill name everything different just to make sure it works .... but when i tried uploading the php file godaddy wouldnt let me

grrrr ....
