I am using a simple:

on (release) {  
getURL(“[mailto:mymail@mysite.com](mailto:mymail@mysite.com)”);  
}

on a button in a digital business card (and publishing as a flash.exe file). While I can get a button to link to the internet it does not seem inclined to bring up email. Any ideas…?

I’ve just tested it. It works fine for me.
