Hey Zimbo2, it works, thanks!  
If i place my email adress on that, it should go straight to my email account right?? :q:

indojepang: If it didnt work for you, maybe you are testing it by publishing it as an swf, try publishing it as a HTML, it should work then!

Once you place that coding in on the button do this:

File \> Publish Preview \> HTML

It should work 😛
