contact form in flash template

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me because this is driving me crazy. I'm currently using template #11883 (a flash template) and I'm trying to work with the contact form. However, I can't seem to find any code related to the submit button (i.e. what e-mail address it sends to after "Submit" is clicked). Also, even stranger is that I can't seem to find the actual text boxes for the form. It's almost as if it's a hidden layer. Anyway, any help would be GREATLY appreciated because I've been killing myself trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sure, this is what I've been able to find that seems to be somewhat relevant. Please note that for whatever reason, I'm not able to find the actual text boxes in the layers. However, when I create the .swf file, the text boxes are there.

"layer 20:Frame 1":

label_01 = "your name";
label_02 = "company";
label_03 = "phone";
label_04 = "e-mail";
label_05 = "comments";
label_06 = "city";
label_07 = "comments";
text1 = label_01;
text2 = label_02;
text3 = label_03;
text4 = label_04;
text5 = label_05;
text6 = label_06;
text7 = label_07;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
text_field_1.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text1 == label_01) {
text1 = "";
}
};
text_field_1.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text1 == "") {
text1 = label_01;
}
};
text_field_2.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text2 == label_02) {
text2 = "";
}
};
text_field_2.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text2 == "") {
text2 = label_02;
}
};
text_field_3.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text3 == label_03) {
text3 = "";
}
};
text_field_3.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text3 == "") {
text3 = label_03;
}
};
text_field_4.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text4 == label_04) {
text4 = "";
}
};
text_field_4.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text4 == "") {
text4 = label_04;
}
};
text_field_5.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text5 == label_05) {
text5 = "";
}
};
text_field_5.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text5 == "") {
text5 = label_05;
}
};
text_field_6.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text6 == label_06) {
text6 = "";
}
};
text_field_6.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text6 == "") {
text6 = label_06;
}
};
text_field_7.onSetFocus = function() {
if (text7 == label_07) {
text7 = "";
}
};
text_field_7.onKillFocus = function() {
if (text7 == "") {
text7 = label_07;
}
};
};

"more copy 2":
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release) {
_parent.text1 = _parent.label_01;
_parent.text2 = _parent.label_02;
_parent.text3 = _parent.label_03;
_parent.text4 = _parent.label_04;
_parent.text5 = _parent.label_05;
_parent.text6 = _parent.label_06;
_parent.text7 = _parent.label_07;
}

I guess I don't get it by that, I have no clue about flash and forms together.

Maybe a forum specifically about flash could help better?
