Email Link
It's been a while since I worked with Flash. Forgot how to do simple email link. Isn't it getURL, then mailto:whatever@whatever.com etc? Can anyone help? Thanks.

HTML Formatted Email W/ Flash: Email Link Help
is there a way to put a mailto into a Flash that's embedded in an email without a browser window popping up when the user clicks on it.
The reply email works fine, but a browser window will open with the mailto in the URL and "Action Canceled" in the window. Not too pro looking.
Also, I found the Flash only plays in some email clients, when user views the email. I had to put a 'play' button on the first frame before the loader in case it doesn't play. I tried putting a "gotoAndPlay" but that didn't work either, took the loader out, even put the animation on the main timeline. Funky.
Told the client it's a bad idea, unpredictable, but they never listen to people that know what's up...

Email Link On Swf Doesn't Work In Embeded Email, Why?
I am working on a swf file (sort of an ad) for email distribution purpose, the swf has an email link on it for potential clients to reply to us.
I upload the swf on our server, embed the swf into an email, and send the email off to do a test, the animation is playing fine, but there is a problem, when i click on the email link, I receive the following error message:
"Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
And then the Outlook is closed down.
But this problem only happens on NT system, as while i click the same link from my XP, it instantly open up a new reply message fine, anyone has come across this problem and knows how to get around with it, could you help?
Many many thanks

Help Please Email From Page To Another Email With Url Link
This is getting really confusing for me so I need some help! The issue is that I am developming a video player that a client would like to have an ability of users to send (email) the page to a freind, with a link back to that specific page. I have experience sending mail via PHP scripts, and the mailto: commands. Does anyone have any idea how this could be accomplished? I need some direction. Thanks Devon

I created a button with a mailto: in the URL field to have an email window pop up. I get the email okay, but I also get a separate browser window with the "mailto"email@email.com" in the URL.
How do I set up an email link, without causing a browser to open?

Email Link?
I have created a simple flash program that consists of a round ball, with the words "Email Me" on it, and it bounces around the screen. I want to create an email link to a hotmail account that will be activated by the user clicking on the flash program. Does flash support this kind of thing? The reason I ask is because I put the code in that would usually create an email link, and it didn't work. I would really appreciate someone giving me the code, or at least telling me why it didn't work.

What's the actionscripting look like on a button that I want to have open a users mail client with a specific email? Is there a flash variable set up for this or do you have to use Javascript and a href it? I wanted to do a whole complex input text fields contact page but it seems as though my server is not set up for that and I am not a programmer at all. So I guess this will just have to do if anyone can help. Thanks so much.

Email Link In AS3
This is an Actionscript 3 question.
Searched everywhere for this trivial and very simple thing which we all use but can't find any useful answer so if anyone could reveal the secret please.
Needless to say I'm a newbie at this but is slowly and surely making painful progress in my learnings.
I have a movie clip which I want to write the actionscript for (AS3) for so it opens your default email. The movie clip as an instance name.
Should anyone have the answer which I'm sure then please spell it out.
Thanks

So I have one email link looking like this:
PHP Code:
var emailLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:info@website.com);
this.instanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, emailClick);
function emailClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(emailLink);
}
That all works fine but I'd like another email link, so thought I'd put a '2' after the var & functions but no that wouldn't work. Any suggestions of how to do that?

Does anyone know how I can link a text in my movie, say "contact us" to the default email sender of a user's browser.
E.g lets say a user clicks on a text in my movie that says 'Contact us" it will automatically activate the user's default email sender ( hotmail, whatever) with my email already in the send "TO" box above. Preferably with a default subject there also.
or if this is easier, can you tell me how to link a form to my email. So that any info my user's input will go to my email. I have forms already but I don't know how to link it to my email. Can you please explain clearly the process? Thanks

Mannnn, ole mannnn, I sure hope someone can shed some light on this and tell me what in the heck is going on, I am doing a simple email link in Flash MX and can't believe its not working. I have done countless of these in flash 5. The code I have is what I have always done only a little different with other options in MX but I just leave those blank when its email link. I have even tried taking this out of the MC and put it on the main timeline to test it and still don't work. Can someone bail me out of this hold up please?
Appreciate it.
