I need to create a flash based contact form. I have virtually no idea how to create one. My site is currently html based and has a form on the contact page using mail.php to send the information to me. I am currently building a new flash site using a non macromedia program that requires no actionscripting. The only fault in the program is that it dosent have the ability to do forms and won't until the next version so they say.

What I want to do is create a small contact form using the same mail.php script so I can just put that swf file into the page I'm creating. I hope this isn't too confusing :) .

Can anyone help me get started or point me to an easy tutorial?

Not sure what you're looking for. Are you looking for a flash-based form, or a php form. Or how to pass the flash form to the php script for processing?? Without some kind of actionscripting...I'm not sure how far you can go.

Make sure you visit www.FlashKit.com for some free source codes and examples.

What I'm looking for is to create a flash form that will sent the contact information to my email. I realize that there will be some actionscripting involved. I just have no knowledeg of how to do it.

What I have read so far is that you need some sort of php mail handler to work with the flash forms. So I was hoping to be able to use my mail.php script that is already set up for my existing site.

I'm heading over to flashkit right now to see what they have. Thanks for that.
