I'm looking for someone who could please create a flash file for me where you stare at something and then after a period of time you fill out details about it and the response gets emailed to me.

If anyone knows how to do this, please please help me out!

There are plenty of good quality actionscript tutorials around, however, adobe's flash developer stuff is shareware, you know, you can only use it for thirty days, so I'd recommend you try to start writing your code before you actually open flash creator for the first time

i can use flash but i only do animations and stuff so i don't know action script but i have a registered version of flash 8

i guess it doesnt even need to be flash... hmm i  need to think this through

Well, you could probably do that in HTML, though you wouldn't be able to ensure they looked at it for the correct amount of time without Javascript. Flash isn't a bad choice- you don't need to muck about with different graphics libraries and windowing methods, and it's reasonably well supported on different machines. Actionscript [flash code] is not hard to learn either, it's kind of C-like.
