Flash :: Mailto: Problem

MAILTO
I'm trying to "mailto" from an standalone player. It doesn't seem to work unless I link from an HTML file. Is there any way to do that without linking swf file to an HTML? from an exe file? Thanks for advance

MAILTO AGAIN
I still don't find the way to send mail from a swf standing alone (not linked in an HTML file) or an exe file. Should I try it by calling some intermediate file like an HTML with the function mailto:? Is there an other direct way to do that? Thanks for advance

Mailto From Within An Mc
i have an mc on my main timeline. the mc has a button with a mailto. however, when i play the full movie and click on the button i get an error (browser error - url not found). to get around this, i've placed an invisible button on the main timeline (covering the coordinates where the other button inside the mc is) with the mailto, and this works...
... but it's going to get messy as i need other buttons inside otgher mc's

can anybody tell me ow it's really done?

thanks

Mailto

Exe. And Mailto:
Hello,

I am trying to make a link in my flash file (which will be published as an exe, to be e-mailed as an attachment), that opens the persons e-mail program to send an e-mail from the file.

Code:
on (release) {
getURL("mailto:somebody@somecompany.com?subject=Ch ristmas Drinks");
}

I am able to do this fine on a mac with both a .swf and projector. But am told PCs don't operate their mail programs in the same way - any suggestions on how to do this?
Thank you

Can't Get Mailto
I'm trying to get the mailto to work. Here's my code:

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:info@blahblah.com");
}

I was able to get a link to work, but can't get the email link to function. I tested on a few different computers and got the same result, so I know it's not my computer. Any suggestions? Thx

Mailto Does Nothing
When I put this code:
[code]
on (release) {
getURL("mailto:cturner2002@hotmail.com");
}
on an email button nothing happens.

Using As For Mailto
hello, all: i don't have a "howto" question as it is more theoretical. just curious: in using the getURL("mailto:..."), because it is using actionscript and therefore read by the flash plugin and not a browser, does this eliminate the concern for spam?

thx.

Mailto... ?
Hi,
I have a button that i want to link to my email address.
My script on the button is as follows.

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:info@imaginationcreations.com");
}

Though nothing happens when i test it.
If i replace the mailto.... with a web site, that works fine.
How can i get the email link to work???

Thanks!
Ari

Help With The Mailto:
ok. the above mailto: i can't remeber how it works! so if i want someone to write me an e-mail to me when they click an e-mail, and i also want them to have an assigned subject to the e-mail, why wouldn't this be the script?

Get URL Mailto: In IE
Can't seem to launch the user's email client in IE without getting the "Action Cancelled" page before the email compose screen comes up. This problem does not happen with Netscape or Firefox. I have been using the "get URL" command with the "mailto:******* " in the URL box. Any body got any ideas or do I have to use html page.

Mailto:
I want to create a text mailto: link that will send to a group. When I attempt to enter all of the email addresses, 15 total, the property inspector cuts me off after about the fifth one. Is there a way around this? Also, is there a way to create a mailto: that doesn't open my browser prior to opening my email client? I've had some people complain that the browser opening is confusing/annoying.

Thanks!!

Mailto In Flash 5
I would like to know if it's possible to make an e-mail address clickable so it opens a mailing program in Flash 5. Something that works the same way as the "mailto:" tag in HTML.

I have a dynamic textfield with normal text an e-mail adresses in the end.

What does the actionscript for this look like, if it is possible?

Thanks

Mailto Function - Is It Possible?
I am creating my first Flash 5 movie. At the end of the movie, the page has a 'replay' button (working well) and a 'respond' button (not yet working).

Is it possible to turn this button into a 'mailto' type button where the users email application will start automatically with my address in the address line of the email?

Any help would be great. Any suggestions would be great
