    flash does not allow you to do that directly. It doesn't have an API for sendmail, like it does for say playing an audio file. You can still do this however, but you must use an external form get URL to post the action of actually sending the mail. Adobe has an article on doing this at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15695 At an even hockier level (IE lame), you can just post an active link on your flash app as this person explains on this forum http://forums.devshed.com/flash-help-38/sending-email-within-flash-mx-43175.html#post182297
