How would you e-mail a variable to yourself?

Like when the flash runs, and someone clicks a button or it gets to a frame or something, a variable name and value is sent in an email to you?

Like I'm playing a game and when i click a button it sends the variable SCORE of the value 1337, and you get an email that contains something like:
SCORE=1337
or
The variable SCORE contains the value 1337

or something like that?

If so, you'll need to use PHP, a server-side programming language with ActionScript.

see php.net
NOTE: you need to have a server that has php installed handy..

also see PHP:MAIN

good luck

Oh and PHP isn't the only langauge you can use, you could use ASP or PERL or something else, but PHP is the easiest to learn, its free, and I'm pretty sure it's still the fastest.
