AS3 not working. Need to implement code to lauch viewer's default mail app. Please Help!

Question

Hello,
I'm struggling to work out why; when you click on the "Contact" link/movie clip on my home page, it No Longer launches my Entourage default mail application. The action script is below. I've tried implementing loads of different mailto: as3 codes into my existing code, however none of them seem to be working with my existing code. I'm not an expert coder and could really use some idiot proof instructions/code here, what the code is, where to place it in the existing code and what other buttons/movie clip/instance name I'll need to create? Can anyone help me, Please?
Thank You,
Kavi

Hi Ned,
Thanks for the prompt response and help. This is the mailto code I'm trying to implement into my existing code with no luck:
var linkToEmailAddress:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, emailAddress);
function emailAddress(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(linkToEmailAddress);
I've changed the "email_btn" to "contact_mc" and tried a bunch of other things too.
Your advice made sense to me so I'll go over it again with a fine comb and see if I can work it out.
Any other tips on how and where to paste the mailto code above would be much appreciated.
If the ball is in my court now, I will keep at it, and hope to get it right.
Thank You,
Kavi
