Open the standard email program from a button

on(release){
	email = "willi@yahoo.com";
	subject= "Very interesting";
	body = "Hi willi, \n here is somethin very interesting for you.";
	getUrl("mailto:" add email add "?subject=" add subject add "&body=" add body);
}

What would be the difference between using this script and just a standard getURL mailto: action?

Do you have any idea of how to prevent IE opening a blank window while it opens up your email program? This happens with IE5.5 and Eudora Pro.

scott... i find if im testing a movie (Ctrl + Enter) or if im
making a projector the mailto:action opens a blank window then
opens the mail program annoying huh ? ...
but when the flash movie is published as a .swf and is opened 
in a browser, this script works fine.

Trying to use the email button function.. the only problem I am having the subject isn't coming up. Here is the code i am entering in.

on(release){ 
	email= "rocky@andern.com"; 
	subject= "a-yo Andern";  
	getURL ("mailto:rocky@andrea.com",subject="a-yo Andern");
}


whats wrong..?

Change the comma to a question-mark (and you don't need the variables - you were defining them and then not using them)...

on(release){ 
	getURL ("mailto:rocky@andrea.com?subject=a-yo Andern");
}

\n

you can use the "\n" or "newline".
"newline" defined in flash.
