Have you tried the script without the SWF?

Here is the code I use .... I think i got it from flashkit.com

<?php

/***************************************************\

 * PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more

 * information on the mail() function for PHP, see

 * [url]http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php[/url]

\***************************************************/
// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email.  This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be.  It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to.  This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.

$sendTo = "[e-mail]";

$subject = "Subject Line";

// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method.  $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method.  From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.
// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable.  First, include From:

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";

// next include a replyto

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own.  The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the return-path email

$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable
//$body = $_POST["message"];

$body = $_POST["name"]." ". $_POST["email"]." ". $_POST["date"]." ". $_POST["location"]." ". $_POST["number"]." ". $_POST["message"];

// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email

mail($sendTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

Then in your .fla your field names should match "name" "email" "date" and so on to whatever you need to fine tune it to ---- in the $body
