</div>

I have a button-symbol on the stage with this action:

on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.macromedia.com](http://www.macromedia.com)”, “\_self”);  
}

It is working, new window is open …

But, when I change source code of action to this one:

on (release) {  
getURL("mailto:wish-flash@macromedia.com", “\_self”);  
}

It is not working … ☹

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks.

Try[AS]on (release) {  
getURL("mailto:wish-flash@macromedia.com");  
}[/AS]

Yes! 🙂  
My small problem is solved. In the browser and without “\_self” parameter.

Thanks a lot.
