what is the actionscript for an email button in Flash 8 for Mac?

Question

here is my current actionscript:
email.onRelease = function(){
getURL("mailto:my email address", "_blank");
};

It is not working at all. When I tweak it, the mail application will occasionally open when the button appears in my animation. But it will not work when pressed.

Answer 1

Add this script to your button:

on (release) {
getURL("mailto:[e-mail]");
}
