HiAngella,

Welcome in the world of Flash 4!

Don't use "get" as action with the "get url" but "post".

You should be aware than the "mailto" method is not so good because the user
won't see anything happening on "click". If you can have acces to your cgi-bin
and you know what server you have (Unix or NT), you should use a script either
in Perl (Unix) or in ASP (NT) to send the values of your form and to display a
"thank you" message.

If you want, you can ask me again to know more about it.

Cheers

Marc
