new to scripting opening email using javascript mailto:

[gordon]

Hello,

Can anyone help! I have working with with flash mx for about 6 months so scripting can be difficult.

I was wondering if anyone new how to use the javascript command to open up the users webmail address and input my emaill address into the to: section so users can send emails to myself by hitting one button.

also i have been having trouble using the pop-window generator as when i add the content and want to view an image it is opening a blank screen and not finding the image located in a particular folder.

helllo

dont understand i ahve the following code in my file

on (release) {
getUrL("javascript mailto:gordon@gcfolio.com","_blank");
}

do u mean that i take away the geturl
and just write

mailto:gordon@gcfolio.com in the button

or do i call this action in the html source code

thanks for replying so quick

Hi Gordon,
who told you, that this is JavaScript?
This is plain HTML, which can, as Vesa mentioned, be called directly either with an action in a flash button, or as a link in the html page.

Inside of html it is:

Code: [Select]

<a href="mailto:yourMail@yourServer.com">Mail me</a>

or in a button:

Code: [Select]

on(release){
   getURL("mailto:yourMail@yourServer.com");
}
Both accept parameters:

mailto:yourMail@yourServer.com?subject=Subject of your mail&Body=Body of your mail

prepairs a complete email in the mail client of the user.
