Of course it won’t work in Flash Player. It needs some internet link…you have to test on a browser.
```auto
on (release) {
getURL("mailto:myaddress@domain.com");
}
```
I don’t know what, I just made something and it worked with Flash Player, I deleted the AS and then all of a sudden after trying again, it didn’t work…
