Emailing from flash mx 2004 ?

[Storm]

Hi all,

I need to be able to email an address on a website I'm designing with Flash MX 2004. I found a tutorial that said I could set up a button with the following action but it doesn't seem to work.

on (press) {
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
}

but when I click on the button its not bringing up outlook

I'd be glad of any help / advice.

Most odd...

Always used to work for me...

Try:

on (release) {
         getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
}

(I no longer have flash installed)

However, using outlook integration is bad mmmkay? What if they use gmail or hotmail? Perhaps look at integrating a perl/php/ruby mailing script into your flash?
