How do I create a button that will allow someone to email me?

Just like a email link in a web page.

Thanks,

Joel

Billy,

Thanks for the quick reply to my post.
I had already tried what you suggested before I
posted my Q.

So, what you suggested didn't work for whatever reason.

I'll describe what I'm doing:

I have a button on level 1, it has a roll over.
I assigned geturl and put in
"mailto: joelcardinal@creativegroove.com"

I exported the swf and when I click it, nothing happens.
I don't know what to do.

I don't need to assign a window right? Like _blank?
Nor any variables, right?

I'll try again anyways. Thanks for your help.
I have some illustrations on my site you can
check out:

Unknown to me, you can't test your email link with a swf sitting on your HD.

You have to test it in "html" preview.

Yeah...I'm a newbee.

Thats because if u test an swf, u use the standalone, which has nothing to do with the internet browser.
