Either link to the form from the flash site, (Opening it in a popup for example). Or replace it with a flash form that duplicates the form elements and posts the info to the same form processing script.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. yeraulone, I'll have a look at that link.

I should have also said that I already have an html/php form with a catchpha element I use in some of my existing sites, and would like to use it in the Flash one I am doing at the moment. Does that help things at all? Can I use it (thinking if only it were as simple as copying and pasting it into the movie frame in question).
