Open browser from projector

programming flash

Hi all,

Is there a way to open browser or mail client from projector file? I have text area and there I put url and mail address. When clients click on them, I want a browser or mail client start up just like website does. Thanks.

Hi,
By projector do you mean CD rom ?
If so the code to open an email client is
[AS]
on(release){
getURL ("mailto:emailaddy@domain.com?subject=demo");
}[/AS]
this will open the email, but a distant memory tells me there are some issues doing from a projector, best idea is to test and see if it works first.

Cheers

hi,

to open the browser & go to a website the code would be something like this

on (release) {
getURL(“http://www.yoursite.htm”, “_blank”);
}

for the mail client it would be

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:me@there.com?subject=type what you want here and it will display in the email header");
}

hope this helps

Not sure what you mean by this:

is there a way to embed those code onto static text?

do you mean that you want to display the emailaddy@domain.com
or …?

ok I got it.
I made a transparent button behind the static text.

you can also make a link by highlighting the text you want, and then using the URL link in the properties section. using the hull http:// adress, or mailto:xxx@xxx.co.uk etc
