and I have already built the site in Flash.

here is what I have in my flash file...on the button that will submit the text entered in the text feild with instance name 'join_email'

on (release) {
listID = &quot;1&quot;;
what = &quot;sub&quot;;
getURL(&quot;

http://www.dualsix.com/entry.php?action=add&quot;,

&quot;_root.join_email&quot;, &quot;POST&quot;
}

that script is not much use to you.

does your sever support php ?

if it does will you want to save the data to mysql or to a text file ?

[billwatson]

yes you do and thats the script that will have to be altered. still dont help if your server doesnt support php.

put this into notepad

<? phpinfo() ?>


save it as info.php and put it on your server

enter the url to the file and see what happens. blank white page no php. info and you have php

[billwatson]

ok now where will you save the data

if straight to an external text file then i have a download you can quickly modify

if its to an existing database then what kind of database is it
