What do You want to send to a friend ? An email with the address of this game?
If that is what you want you need an external php or coldfusion file to recieve what you want to send to a friend.Inside this php or cfm file there will be a function to send an email to whatever email address the user enters .

Hi!
Even if you are not gonna need any database usage you still need one of these types of scrpited files. Look at google for some examples of sending mail with php and flash stuffs like that. Here is a code I use to invite people over to my web site.It was done in ColdFusion
