Sending a SWF taken web cam snap shot in an email using flash, need help

[djbdr248]

I have a swf that will take your snap shot from a web cam, I need it to be able to email the bitmap from the SWF.
Also eventualy I need to be able to do the same thing w/ video clips from the web cam.

Can anyone help?

The SWF cannot mail at all.
You have to send the attachment to a server, which does the mailing.
How this is done depends on the hosting you are using.

If you look into our little tutorial, you can see, that the serverside script is sending the message.
For Attachment you have to create a valid envelope with multiparted content.

A different, and very efficient way, is store the file at the server, and send a link to the receipient.

Yeah, I'm haveing trouble w/ the php side of the programming because I don't know verry much PHP.

If you seriously want to program usefull applications for internet and intranet, there is (allmost) no way around php.
php is the web standard and even growing.

You can google around to find a php class, doing more or less what you want. Then you "only" need to get into the calling of those methods.

As sayd before - the easyest and propably most efficient methode is, sending a link to a stored file.
