Here's a flash contact form that you can very quickly and easily add to your PHPmotion site!  Completely self-contained, doesn't rely on anyone else's site, and looks nice and professional.  Also, due to the location of the files, and the fact that it's a flash script, it will go a long way in preventing certain forms of spam!

The only editing required is inserting a small snippet in the Contact Us page template, which is really simple.

1. Upload.  Upload the "mm_contact" folder into your "addons" directory.

2. Edit. Open "generic_contactus.htm" and insert this code wherever you want your contact form:

<script type="text/javascript" src="[var.base_url]/addons/mm_contact/contact.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {
menu: "false",
quality: "high",
scale: "noscale",
salign: "tl",
wmode: "window",
bgcolor: "#ffffff",
allowscriptaccess: "always"
};
var attributes = {id:"flashcontent"};
swfobject.embedSWF("addons/mm_contact/contact.swf", "flashcontent", "600", "380", "9", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
<div style="width: 600px; margin: 40px auto;">
<div id="flashcontent">
<p><strong>Your Flash Player needs to be upgraded to view this content.</strong></p>
<p>Version 9 is required.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Download the latest version here</a></p>
</div>
</div>

That's all there is to it! When someone fills out the contact form, it will be sent to the site e-mail address that you specified in your siteadmin.

The download is available here.  To see the Contact mod in action, check it out on the V3.5 or V2 demos:
