How do I send an email via mmf2? thanks!

Sort of. First of all Flash won't let you 'open up a hidden browser'. You have to have the PHP script hosted on a capable server that runs PHP and hosts a crossdomain.xml file.

Here is an example PHP script:

<?php
$To = $_POST['to'];
$From = $_POST['from'];
$Subject = $_POST['subject'];
$Message = $_POST['message'];

if(mail($To, $Subject, $Message, 'From: ' . $From))
{
	exit('1');
}
else
{
	exit('0');
}
?>

All the variables for this script would need to be added via the add post variable in the get object before sending the request. If you want to test this in your browser you need to change all the $_POST to $_GET, then you can request it in the URL like this:
http://www.example.com/path/Email.php?to=someone@example.com&from=somebody@exa mple.com&subject=Hello%20world&message=This%20is%2 0the%20message

The script above gives a 1 for success and a 0 for failure.

Well, you'd have to use an object that is Vitalized... and sadly people seem to be giving up on Vitalize even though its so much better than flash.

I agree that Vitalize is a lot better in terms of performance. The problem though is that most people on the internet wouldn't want to install a plug-in for a couple games. Maybe if you had a really big Vitalize arcade area they might (like the old V-cade). But even then I imagine a lot of people would just leave if they see they have to install a plug-in just to play. Especially when you could go to numerous other places and play a ton of Flash games.

It's not a problem for our community, but that's completely different because we're Clickteam users. Not just some random person browsing the net.

The whole point over Vitalize is that Clickteam can control what features it supports, rather then just being a tiny speck to Adobe.

Important note with the PHP script:

Make sure it's secure. Otherwise you'll be sending prizes to lots of people!

You'd do well to think of a way to store the information in an encrypted form so instead of:

mail.php?to=admin@domain.com&subject=Bob+won+the+g ame

You may end up with

mail.php?return=6gaa7tuvkkut77i7gh

Or some such thing.

You can always have a link that says :

mailto:youremail@domain.com

You can use the Flash Player Object for it, works in Stand Alone EXEs but not the Flash runtime.
