Hello,
I just want to thank everyone for helping me in the past-- especially old newbie.
I need to make a button go to an email link. How do I do this?




thanks again

Try this...

on (press) {
getURL ("mailtoldnewbie@hotmail.com"
}

Thanks Newbie, but that didn't work. I have such a hard time getting any scripting to work in Flash. It's like any time you send me a script, I just say forget it. I'm obviously not doing something right.
At least it's not doing what I want it to do: open up to an email letter with his address on it upon press or release. Maybe I just wasn't clear enough. I don't know.
If you have any other advice let me know. thanks

Doesn't this open your default mail application? Outlook or Eudora or whatever?
What is happening?
Flash 5?
Do you want an e-mail sent to you when the user hits that button?

you hit it right on the button (excuse the pun). No, nothings happening. Im making the site for my brother's business. I want it to be as if the person viewing the site, cliks on the email button and the person's default mailer pops up with my brother's email already in the box.
I hope you understand all that. I have Flash 5.
Thanks again, I'll keep trying

Have you uploaded this thing?
If not, try to... with my suggested script and post a link or if you don't want to make it public, e-mail the link to me, so I can check it out.
Maybe the whole problem is your (or your brothers') set up!

For instance... If you go to this link, and hit the last button on the left nearest the bottom, after the movie preloads, you should see a Felix movie clip, and my handle up there... Hit oldnewbie to see if your default mail comes up! It should! If it doesn't... Well guess your set up is the problem!

yeah, Oldnewbie, My default oulook does come up at the Felix site.
I'll try scripting the button again. And if it doesn't come up, well his email is fawnboy@home.net
If that helps.
thanks again
