hello,

i finishing up building my first flash website for a company, i’m used to building sites in dreamweaver, so this is all still a little new to me. I need to make a button that when pressed it will send the email to the person. example:

For more infomation please conact:

bob jones via email or by phone @ 123-456-7891

i’ve already made the word “email” into a button with rollover, but i need to make that button, that once pressed it will link the viewer to an email program to send the email.

with html it’s a simple \<a [href="mailto:bobjones@yahoo.com](mailto:href=%22mailto:bobjones@yahoo.com)"\>email\<a/\>, but with flash it’s actionscript… i know this might be confusing, but if anyone can please help me it’sd be great. Thanks in advance.
