flash (macromedia): With your help, I have now been able to create some rollover buttons that
link to web pages.

What I need now, however, is a rollover for an "email me" button that when
clicked on, brings up an email message the user can send.

I can't find any process for this, oddly enough, in the 721-page book I
bought, nor can I find it in Help files, nor can I locate anything on a web
search. I don't want anything Flash-fancy, as with a Flash form or
anything, just a simple 'open a blank email with the email editor' option
like simple html 'mail-to' option.

Can anyone walk me through the process??

Thankyou SO MUCH!! It was not really 'covered' in the book, per se. I
guess there are too many commands to get them all. But this worked
INSTANTLY and saved me much grief! Thankyou again very much!!

This is a basic feature that is surely covered in the books, you probably overlooked it. Code your button as follows:

on (press) {
getURL("mailto:scottjhampton@earthlink.net");
}


on (press) {
getURL("mailto:scottjhampton@earthlink.net");
}

My pleasure.
Scott

This is very unreliable. It will fail if someone does not have a default
email program, or if someone used Web based email. It would be better to
create a form and send the contents to some server side scripting page
that will use something like CDONTS or PHPMail to send the actual email.
