Question

Email with attachment

I'm building a picture gallery which allows the visitor to select items and email the site owner with a list. While the movie can send the list to the email's body, that's not ideal given the range of email clients, and it would be much better to generate a file attachment which could then be used in other order processing routines.

AFAICS Flash won't let me automatically generate and attach the text file - is that right? So I've got to look for other options. As the movie may run in static hosting environments, I can't depend on PHP. What other approaches should I consider?

then you can't do anything with flash.

if it were on a disk, you could use flash to create an air application (if you have cs3 or cs4) that users could install. but there's nothing you can do with the flash player browser plugin that would attach anything to email.

Any. Mostly online, but conceivably on optical disc. Basically I can't depend on server side processing.
