I’m trying to follow the flash 5 tutorial located [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/emailaim.htm) 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](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.
