So I created this simple function

```auto

function emailTo(address):Void {
	var address:String;
	getURL("mailto:"+address);
}

```

Now I know this works

```auto

mail_btn.onRelease = function () {
	this.address = "test@domain.com";
	emailTo(this.address);
}

```

But I want it to be in this format

```auto
mail_btn2.onRelease = emailTo("test@domain.com");

```

But now it opens up my email program as soon as I test the flash file, so not on click

Any ideas??
