Hello  
I am having an issue with my email link in CS3 using AS 3  
the code below works however it opens up a new browser window every time  
the contact me button is pressed.  
is there any way to get it so it does not do that?

thanks  
----------------code below------------

contactrt\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);  
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {  
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:shawn@shawnconvey.com"));  
}
