building CD ROM e-mail does not work

[chicoP]

I am building a CD-rom and the base file for the application is an exe. Each subsequent file that is loaded onto another level is an swf file. the mailto function on the swf files will not work for me, can anyone help me with this, my project is due tomorrow...................

what is your mailto, just a getURL with mailto: protocol, or some mailform script? Post some code please :)

HERE IS MY FULL CODE TO THE BUTTON:

// ================================================== ==
// e-mail Button Settings
// ================================================== ==
emailButton.onPress = function() {
getURL("mailto:someone@nailmail.com");
};

JIM, AS WELL I TESTED THE CODE LOADING THE SWF FILE INTO AN HTML PAGE AND IT WORKED

[jimburton]

well, that should work from a webpage or from the player/exe, so I'm stumped:confused:

I am running outlook express is that a problem?

[jimburton]

no - so am I, and I made a little mailto button just to check what I already know, that it would work from an exe...

[chicoP]

did you try an exe that loaded an swf with the mailto button in it?

[jimburton]

I did now, and it works ok.

[chicoP]

Thank you so much for your help and testing, I must have another problem?

I will test again.

good luck with it:)
