I've searched and searched for a tutorial or demo for using Flash to send form data using SMTP. No luck so far :( I have a client with a Windows server which requires SMTP rather than sendmail. All I need is a simple flash contact form with Name, Email, and Message fields.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

well you need a server side script of course, where you'll specify the smtp server info. what server side are you using?

I have only worked with 'nix scripts. It's usually a simple cgi/pl script that i can be downloaded at places like cgiresource etc. I don't have a script, nor do I know how to make a form in flash...so I'm looking for a site with a sample and or tutorial on making a SMTP form.

Cool thanks! I'm gonna give that a try :)
Never worked with ASP before...so this should be a nice learning experience.

Hmmm...say it requires my host to have ASPmail...which I don't think it does. Any other options?
THanks!
