Silly Mailto problem - pulling my hair out!

programming flash
1

Hey all, I have a button, in Flash 8, which works when I put:

on (release) {

	//Goto Webpage Behavior
	getURL("http://www.macromedia.com","_self");
	//End Behavior

}

BUT if I change it to:

on (release) {

	//Goto Webpage Behavior
	getURL("mailto:test@test.com");
	//End Behavior

}

It just won’t work. :confused: I’ve searched this place and web, and everything I find, I try to no avail. I’m guessing I’m doing something wrong-and-it’s-right-infront-of-my-face silly.

Even if I just add a mailto link to some text though the property box, it doesn’t seem to work.

Could anyone please lend me a hand? :confused:
