Flash :: Button To Open Email

How To Have Flash Open An Email When Button Is Clicked?
Simple question... What is the code to add to a button to have the button open up an email window when the button is clicked. For example the email would be info@testing.com and when you click on that button it opens up a email window to email that person through whatever email program the user has on their computer. I know how to do this in HTML obviously with the mailto:info@testing.com but I don't know how to do it in Flash so any help would be greatly appreciated!

it should work...but its not working. Any help here. Thanks in advance.

I am using MX 2004. at intermediate level.

Ive created a sprite and added a mouse click event with the listener as

PHP Code:

private function sendEmail(e:MouseEvent){ var _url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:email@email.com"); navigateToURL(_url, "_blank"); }

Email Link That Doesn't Open A Browser Window
I'm producing an interactive flash CD in flash ver5. It will be published as an exe file. There are some email links I've placed within the movie using get url and the normal mailto:someone@somewhere.com

Problem is when you run the movie and click on an email link it not only opens the mailer (outlook express) but also a browser window! Anyway I can stop the browser window opening?

Thanks for taking the time, Steve

Having Text Open New Window W/ Users Email Program...?

is there a standard script that is used for linking a piece of text to create a new window and open the users email program?

thanks!

Open Email Client Through Link In Text-file Loaded In Flash?
Hi,

My flash document contain a few buttons which open some movieclips and also a txt-file with an an address and an emailaddress.
The code that triggers the movieclips and the variables looks like this:

Code:

menu.btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.container.unloadMovie();
loadMovie("textField.swf", _root.container);
loadVariables("geschiedenis.txt", "_root.container");
loadMovie("scrollerWat.swf", _root.lijn1.scroll_mc);
this._parent.activateItem (this);
};

Everything works like a charm but the thing is I want users to be able to click on the email address so they can sent me a mail.
Normally this isn't a problem in flash typing in the URL "mailto:" option but since I dynamicaly load a text into flash I don't know how to add this "mailto" function.

My text-file contains the following:

Code:
&content=

A de Busstop
P.O.box 3385

Does anyone know is this possible how to do this?
thank you for helping me out

Using An Open Button To Open A File
EDIT:
OK everything is good, now i just need it to save when you exit, so how do i do that?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Im trying to make a program that manages short cuts so if you have to many short cuts on your desktop you can just delete them and put there file extension in the text box, and then push open so the file opens.

I dont know what action script to put in the open1 button(its actually defined as a movie clip) and what variable to put in the text1 text box.

There are 7 text boxes and 7 open buttons.

text1-------open1
text2-------open1
and ect.

And if possible i want it where you can also put in website addresses and it goes to those for you to.

I also want it to save the text you put in so next time you open the program, the file extension you put in is still there

see the pick of what im talking about at http://www.boomspeed.com/runescape999/scm.jpg
Note that it does take a minute to load

--------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO if there is a way to be able to make a browse button instead of having to copy and past the text that would be even better.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: If its possible i would rather this to be able to work not only in internet explorer, but also if you have it installed on your computer

I posted this in the Flash MX forum to, and im not sure if its allowed in two forums so if you could tell me if its allowed for later knowledge that would help.

[F8] Flash 8 - Email Form: How To Get Users Specified Email In From Portion Of Email
Hey guys,

I want to add a newsletter to my new website that people can add their email addresses to. First off, I would like to have a field that the user can type his email address in, and have that field check if the email is valid (ie make sure that there is an @something.something).

Next, I would like it to send an email to my email address, with their email address in the from portion of the email (basically as if they have emailed me directly from their email). This way, it will be very easy for me to add them to my mailing list.

Thanks a ton for any help... Ive been searching for a while on how to do this, but couldn't find a way to put the users email in the from portion of the email.

Email Forms That Send Email To Other Email Addresses
hello, well, I'm not sure who to ask about this problem. The thing is I really want to make an email form that can send email to other people. I have seen email feedback forms here that send email to my address but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me make one that sends email to other addresses. I have made an email feedback form already and its at http://www.jeviwebs.com/beatles/mail.swf if you want to view it. If any of you know of any tips, please email me or respond to my post here thanks! BTW, that feedback form was based on matthew summers tutorials here

it is in the send button where I have the problem

here is the action script for the action layer:

recipient = "";
targetpage = "http://www.jeviwebs.com/beatles/ecard.htm";
stop();

this works ok since you will specify the email address of the person to send email to (thus the blank recipient variable) but here is the main problem...the actionscript for the send button....since I want to send emails to other people, I can't use my cgi bin for that.

on (release) {
getURL("http://myaddress.com/cgi-sys/mailform.cgi", "lower", "POST");
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I know that there is a way through this...I can change and do actionscript if someone can help me out...thanks you guys

Email Button
If I want to link a button to an email address, I can choose Objects>Movie>Button>Events>onRelease and put the name of the button’s instance in the “Object” field... Then choose Action>Browser/Network>getURL and put “mailto:” followed by whatever email address I want to come up in the email form. Where do I put this whole action? I read I should “select the 1st frame of the main Timeline” but it hasn’t worked yet,and I don’t know if it matters which layer I put it on (actions I was assuming). I have a movie clip that the button is embedded in, does that make a difference? I've tried everything and it will not work... Any solutions?
