Using mailto and AIM in flash

programming flash
1

I’m trying to follow the flash 5 tutorial located here but its not working. I’m doing the e-mail one first and the AS im using is:
[AS]
on (release) {
getURL(“mailto: admin@airspacedesigns.com”);
}
[/AS]

If it makes any difference I’m applying it to a movie clip instead of a button against what the tutorial says.

if it’s in a movie clip you’ll prob need


on (release) {
        this.getURL("mailto: [email]admin@airspacedesigns.com[/email]");
}

Nope that didn’t work. I got the AIM thing to work but the e-mail one still isn’t working. I did however descide that I didn’t want/need them as movie clips for I made them buttons but the mailto sstill isn’t working :frowning:

ahh works. I put the swf online and it works now. Apparently the mailto function doesn’t work when your just previewing it from flash, you need to put it on the net.

it works if you publish it also before uploading it
