Hi. I’m trying to get an email link to work. I’ve searched the forums and online tutorials. I’m trying to get it to work on my local machine, and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Here’s the code I’m using:

getURL(‘[mailto:daveberzack@yahoo.com](mailto:daveberzack@yahoo.com)’);

Seems pretty simple. I’ve attached a FLA. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Dave
