Email link in CS4 Flash

I am a newbie when it comes to flash and I have done a few tutorials. I am now working on my own personal site but I have come across a problem. Im basically duplicating the tutorial and have done so to a T. But on a comments/questions form that i have created to email me, I get a blank window in Internet Explorer when it brings up the email client. This does not occur in firefox however. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendData);
function sendData(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
    trace (name_txt.text);
    trace (email_txt.text);
    trace (message_txt.text);
    var theEmail:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MailTo:[email protected]?from="+email_txt.text+"&subject=From Website&body="+message_txt.text+" from:"+name_txt.text);
    navigateToURL(theEmail);

The only thing I can think of offering is to  say to try to include a window parameter in the function call to see if that has any effect...
navigateToURL(url, "_self");

  • Auto fill subject with an Email link in CS4 Bridge flash web gallery

    Is there a way to autofill the subject line of the email link in the CS4 Bridge flab web galleries? I can do it if I use the html gallery, but I prefer the look of the flash galleries.
    If I open the "group.xml" file I see code for me email link, exp.:  <contactEmail>maillto:[email protected]</contactEmail>
    I tried adding the "?subject=My Subject" like I would on an html file but that didn't work. I was hoping for some suggestions.
    Thanks!

    I want it to work on the click of a mouse: when I run or test the page the email comes up immediately. Here is what I have so far:
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:mailto:[email protected]?subject=yoursubject&body=your message"));
    /* Mouse Click Event
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
    Instructions:
    1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
    The code will execute when the symbol instance is clicked.
    button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_6);
    function fl_MouseClickHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
         // Start your custom code
         // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
         trace("Mouse clicked");
         // End your custom code
    So how do I get the email to open ONLY when the mouse clicks on the link??

  • Email link through a flash movie

    I made a website in flash so I want to put my email address
    there also so if they want to contact me they can just click on it
    and the default email app will open up. I know how to do that in
    Dreamweaver (it's that mailto: command) so how do you do it in
    flash? I know a little bit of AS3.

    Nora9,
    You first need to create a URLRequest and then navigate to
    that request. Try the following code:
    Hope this is what you wanted...

  • How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?

    How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?
    I wrote this, but it does not work:
    btn_emailinfo.on (release) {
    getURL("mailto:"[email protected]");
    }

    I am guessing you put that on a frame?
    If so, the syntax is as follows:
    btn_emailinfo.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    Though, if you are placing it directly on the button itself,
    the syntax is:
    on(release){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    }

  • Email link colour & flash text

    anyway to change an email link for the blue colour??
    cheers guys
    oh and has anyone got the html code to have flash text always
    active on a pc, did have it once but cant find it, would this do
    the trick..
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="fixit.js"></script>
    so it activates flash on opening the page, so text dusnt have
    to be clicked to activate.

    Same way as you do with any other link: with CSS.

  • EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

    I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
    I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
    Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

    Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
    You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
    But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

  • Swf files and email links in dreamweaver

    Good evening everyone,
    Need some help please
    I have a button (swf) made in Flash and brought into Dreamweaver to act as an email link when clicked.
    When testing, an extra browser window named "untitled" comes up behind the main email window which
    pops up fine. I can't figure out where the extra blank "untitled" window is coming from. 
    swf was made in cs4 with as3 and imported into Dreamweaver cs4.
    The following is the code used for the swf file.
    var emailLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
    email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
    function onClick(MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(emailLink);
    Thanks in advance,
    [email protected]

    The extra browser window will not appear when you run the file live on a server.  It is just one of the quirks with local Flash testing.

  • How to create a keyboard shortcut in firefox for email link

    I would like to create a keyboard shortcut for firefox for the EMail Link menu item. I specified shift-Command-S as the keyboard shortcut. When I hit the key sequence the File on the menubar flashes but the Email Link window never opens. Does anyone have a clue as to what I need to do to get this to work or is there a reason it doesn't work. I do use Outlook for my mail client. That shouldn't be a problem because when I manually select EMail Link from the File menu Outlook is properly used.
    thanks for your help

    You need automator to create services, as detailed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2241804 a four-parter by Sal Saghoian on *Automation in Snow Leopard*
    This, describes old and new automator—services stuff:
    http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/08/automator-and-finder-interactions-in-os-x-10- 6/
    Alternatively, just save the script
    *+tell application "Firefox" to activate+*
    as an app, put it on the Dock, and click it to activate it. However, seems simpler just to put the FF icon on the Dock and a single click launches it. Why would you want a service or AS to do the same thing?

  • Attaching a link to a Flash video

    I made a flash video and I would like it to be a link to
    another site. Is this possible if so how would l go about doing
    this? I search these forums all morning and found nothing related
    to the topic. I tried the following and had no success:
    1. Right click on image Edit tag, events, then OnbllClick
    insert web address.
    2. Under insert tab I tried HTML, head tag, , link.
    3. Under modify make link.
    All 3 of those had no luck I also tried a few other things.
    Got know where
    I am wondering if I was suppose to add then link maybe in
    Flash or After Effects?
    Does anyone happen to know how to go about attaching a link
    to a flash video?
    All of a sudden I also been having trouble with opening up
    the page in Explorer and its asking me to save the file as
    dwt.template which its already save as. When I open it does the
    same thing again. I didn't have this problem until today. Other
    then this it was able to preview it in explorer. Firefox works fine
    Thanks for you replys,
    Robert

    Yes, and you would lose. First of all, you didn't read my
    post because I
    did not say you couldn't put a link IN Flash. I said that you
    cannot use
    HTML to put a link on a Flash object. And secondly you are
    missing the crux
    of the help files, as explained by Alan.

    You cannot put an HTML link on a Flash object. You would have
    to do that in
    Flash.
    By the way, your keyboard is stuck in caps.
