Sending emails from Flash using .Net is really simple all you need is a Flash Interface that sends the request to an ASPX page. Here are the things you need
1. And ASPX Page that accepts the request (in this sample lets call is EmailSender.aspx)
2. A Flash frontend for users to post their messages (in this sample lets call is EmailForm.fla)
3. And Action Script class to process the message (in this sample lets call is EmailForm.as)
Step 1 : Create EmailForm.fla and add the following objects with the following properties
Name : Type = Input Text, Name = txtName
Email Address : Type = Input Text, Name =txtEmailAddress
Subject : Type = Input Text, Name =txtSubject
Message : Type = Input Text, Name =txtMessage
Error : Type = Dynamic Text, Name =txtError
Send Email Button : Type = Button, Name =btnSendEmail
Email Form Properties
Step 2 : Create an AS file, called EmailForm.as and save it in the same directory create and add these codes
New AS

}Step 3 : Use that class on your EmailForm.fla
Declare Class
Step 4: Create the EmailSender.aspx file and copy these codes
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net.Mail;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.Form["sEmail"] != null)
{
string sPOSTEmail = Request.Form["sEmail"].ToString();
string sPOSTMessage = Request.Form["sMessage"].ToString();
string sPOSTSubject = Request.Form["sSubject"].ToString();
string sPOSTName = Request.Form["sName"].ToString();
MailMessage oMailMessage = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient oSMTPClient = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress oFromAddress = new MailAddress(sPOSTEmail, sPOSTName);
string sEmailUser = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
string sEmailPassword = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
string sEmailServer = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
int iEmailServerSMTPPort = 25;
oSMTPClient.Host = sEmailServer;
oSMTPClient.Port = iEmailServerSMTPPort;
System.Net.NetworkCredential oCredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(sEmailUser, sEmailPassword);
oSMTPClient.Credentials = oCredentials;
oMailMessage.From = oFromAddress;
oMailMessage.To.Add("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
oMailMessage.Subject = sPOSTSubject;
oMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
oMailMessage.Body = sPOSTMessage;
oSMTPClient.Send(oMailMessage);
}
}
}
Step 5: Youre ready to rock and roll, you can publish your site now
