has anyone seen this?

1. i have a static text button that is hyperlinked with this code:  
[mailto:myemailaddy@mysite.com](mailto:myemailaddy@mysite.com)

and when i click that in the Projector file - it does **not** open my default email app to send the email. however, when viewing the html/swf online, the button works fine - it opens my default email app to execute the mail command.

1. at one point, i accidentally had some spaces in my mail command. i had it written like this - where the ^ represents an empty space  
^^mailto:myemailaddy@mysite.com

and when viewing online and checking the link/mail command - it openend a new browser window strait to [www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com/)

What the hey ?!?!?!
