Flash :: Mailto Simple Question

Simple - On Release Mailto
I know I could probably find this without too much hassle, but it's getting late and I need some sleep so if someone could take sympathy you'd gain immediate access to my xmas card list!

I want to know the code for a button which will launch an e-mail and assign the value of a variable to the subject line.

From what I remember was always geturl (mailto:.... something or another. Please help Thank-you!!!!!!

Simple Mailto Problem
Making a simple button that loads a mail program (outlook/mail) so the user can send an email.

This is the code I have on the button.

on (release) {
getURL('mailto:email@address.com.au');
}

Everything is working fine when I preview it, but as well as opening the email program, it opens a new page as well.

How do I disable it from opening a new page?

Mailto Simple Question
Hi all!!

I'm trying to create a GetURL with mailto so that people can contact me but it's not working. I created a button and added this script on it:

on (press) {
getURL("mailto:myemail@myserver.com");
}

When I publish the movie, nothing happens!! I tryed taking out the quotes but I get an error message.

Do you know what the problem could be?

Thank you very much in advance!!

Simple Mailto: Link
I'm making a simple rollover button as an email link.
It's just text in the "Up" state that changes color in the "Over" state, in the "Hit" area I have a filled rectangle.
What state should you add the emil link "mailto:name@email.com"
I've tried putting it in Up, Over, and Hit but it either doesn't show the "over" state consistently or the link doesn't work at all.
Thanks,

Simple Mailto Function
Hi! I just try to do a simple "mailto" function and I use this code:

Code:

contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,contactClick);

function contactClick(pEvt:Event):void
{
navigateToURL ( new URLRequest( "mailto:my_email@email.com" ) );
}

It works ok exept that it opens both my email program and another blank page in my browser. Is there a way to call only the mail program?

Thank you!

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

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.

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.

I've had some people complain that the browser opening is confusing/annoying.

Thanks!!
