Anybody know how to send the information that is selected in form components to the website's master e-mail address? Like a restaurant's to-go/ order ahead section? People can pick ahead of time what they want, I just need to send the info to the master e-mail address?

there's no magic code. you have to use the instance names of your textfields to reference their text property with the getURL("mailto:") function.

search for getURL() email for help.

you can do that in flash, but you'll need some server-side code unless you want to use the client's default email program (if they have one).

so when someone goes to a website and picks options off each of these components, then have a submit button that will e-mail this information to the website's e-mail address. What is the code to have that submit button e-mail to the client's default e-mail address?

The code to have the information that is inputed into the text and button components sent to the website's default e-mail program that is.

what form component?
August 22, 2008
Sorry, I guess wrong terminology. I'm making a form using text input, check box and combo box components. Like an online menu, people can choose what they want using those. I'm just looking for a way to send the information of whatever they choose to the website's e-mail. How do I do that in actionscript, or is it done in some other form? Dreamweaver maybe?
