I’m having a strange problem with getURL.  
in my flash file, i have two buttons one for an email link and another one for a site link  
here is the code  
btn\_site.onRelease=function(){  
getURL([http://www.siteadress.com](http://www.siteadress.com), “\_blank”);  
}  
// goes to the site [www.siteadress.com](http://www.siteadress.com)

btn\_mail.onRelease=function(){  
getURL([mailto:email@domainName.com](mailto:email@domainName.com));  
}  
// open outlook express to send an email to [email@domainName.com](mailto:email@domainName.com)

when i test it in flash (Ctr+enter) only the button linking to the site works, but the email button doesn’t work.  
And when i preview it in html, only the the email button works, but the site button doesn’t work.  
Does anyone know how can i make both buttons work properl?
