"mailto"-link -> Flash MX

[der_ovi]

Hi
I am new to Flash and now I have a problem with Actionscript. I have some knowledge in HTML so I know a bit about programming.
My problem is to make a button to be an email-link.
Here´s the code I tried

code:

---

on(release) {

getURL("mailto:der_ovi@yahoo.de")

}

---

I would be very pleased if you had a solution.

looks like the ";" is missing.

on(release) {
        getURL("mailto:der_ovi@yahoo.de");
}

hope that fixes it.

post a mock FLA with the button......because the code

code:

---

on(release){

getURL("mailto:der_ovi@yahoo.de");

trace("button worked");

}

---

put that on a button and run it in flash, then if the little output window says......button worked then its the mailto..if it doesnt then the button is jacked

I have an idea for you change the address end from .de to .com and it should work actually and as long as your button works properly

hi
what is a mock FLA ? I never heard that.
You were right: if I press the button the result says button works.
thanx for your help.
jimmy: if I would change the .de into a .com the email wouldn´t reach me but someone else ;-)
but thanx to you too.

basically copy and paste your button as is in a new fla...save it and post it so I can look at what is going on.

ohh ok
well here´s the file.
take a look at it if you have got some time. ;-)
I work with Flash MX. I don´t know wether this is improtant for the script.
