Is it possible to send an email from Flex publications... if so how?

You can do it with a mailto URL, or you could always create a script outside of Flex and then use Flex pub to send information to your mail script - sort of like how databases work. I know I've done it before but unfortunately don't have Opus at my disposal now.

I think you can even use script and the getURL command to do the mailto as well.

Hope this at least gets you to a starting point.

Thanks bwpatric,

I should have been a little more specific : What I have is a form using text input boxes, the contents going to variables.

What I'm trying to do is send this info formated directly via email and not pulling up the users email client. Easy to do as a non Flex publication.

I know this can be done in Flash so if all else fails I might do the Form in Flash and import into Opus.

But..... I would prefer to do this all directly in Opus!

Hi just thought I'd put my solution in just in case anyone else needs to do the same.

As usual it turned out to be a simple posting of variables from text input fields to a standard formail script. See the image for details

thanks for the post ... been trying for hours to figure this out

Now can geton with my project

Thanks again for posting solution
