I need to add an email button to my flash file.

I used this code:

Code:

myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:me@iconadvertising.co.nz?subject=RSVP : Season Launch"));
}

However, when I tested the file on IE8, before opening the new message in Windows Mail it opened a blank page in the browser with an error message "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled"

How can I avoid this? Apart from this, the functionality works fine.

Hey there!

Two thoughts - first, it looks like there's a space between "subjec" and "t"; that might cause some weirdness. Second, try adding a target to the script. So it would look like:

Code:

myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:me@iconadvertising.co.nz?subject=RSVP : Season Launch"),"_self");
}

Let me know if that works!
