I’m trying to make a mailto thingy with dynamic text.

1. The variable for this text is **mailtxt**. The dynamic text is set so that it cant be selected, it has no border but it does have **“Render Text as HTML”** …

2. I was playing around with AS and found that I can underline, bold, and italic the text (I found this out like a month ago).The actionscript inserted to the keyframe to underline the text is:

[AS]mailtxt = mailtxt.htmlText = “\<u\>Mail Me\</u\>”;[/AS]

1. The actionscript uses the “set variable” action, and the  
_ **mailtxt.htmlText = "\<u\>Mail Me\</u\>"** _ part is an expression.

2. The problem is, how would I make it so that someone can e-mail me? getURL:mailto:blahblah can be used for buttons…what can I do for actionscripted dynamic text?
