I am pretty new to flash and I’m having a hard time figuring out how to create an email link, is it the same as creating a hyperlink? Isn’t the code for this as [follows...mailto:myname@myaddress.com](mailto:follows...mailto:myname@myaddress.com)? (I just type this in the hyperlink box) I’ve tried this but it just doesn’t want to work. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, I would really appreciate it.
