I am making an .exe for CD, but the contact button - mailto: will not work
without browser (html) page. Is this possible to have a contact button that
creates an email from within a generated .exe or .swf without the use of an
html page. If someone knows the actionscript command for such a creature, I
would appreciate it very much. Thanks for the anticipated time response on
this.

Mialto is a very unstable and unpredictable.
I did many days of research with Macromedia tech guys some time ago going back
to flash 5 era and they came with conclusion that this is strictly OS
issue. It could be technical problem on your system like problems with the
registry that make it so Flash can't find the browser or default mail client,
as far as I know not something that Macromedia will be able to fix.
It could be a problem with the socket implementation, possibly the machine isn't
set up to open a socket automatically.

Running in browser is different case , you already in that environment so the links
get resolved easily .

I use 3rd party tools from http://www.FlashJester.com call JEmail which assure Mailto
working ALL THE WAY .......
