</div>

i created a button and the purpose of this button is to mailto: and that works fine (the getURL mailto part) but there is a darn output thing that comes up and says :

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 8, Frame=1: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances  
on (release) {

so although my button is functional how do i make that go away??? and why is it there? i did set the button to ON RELEASE to go the email thing…

thanks  
:q:

You must have put that in a frame, not on a button.

exactly… you have to apply the actions to the instance of the button itself onstage - NOT the frame it is in. Select the button, right click it, go to actions and add the code there.
