linking to e-mail or website from Projector file.

[oculus]

I know this subject has been touched on before, but allow me to ask a pointed question:

Is there a way to create a button within a flash projector file that will link to a website, or open an e-mail editor and insert the address?

It appears that "fscommand" will not let you pass parameters to the application it opens, and trying a simple "getURL" command locks the computer up.

Are there third party utilities that can perform this?


Thanks for any advice.

Well don't know about you... But I just opened a site and the default e-mail form from a test.exe (windows projector), usin a simple getURL action:

on (rollOver) {
    getURL ("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/",[/URL] "_blank");
}
on (press) {
    getURL ("mailto:oldnewbie@hotmail.com");
}

Don't see why it wouldn't work with FSCommand, although it seems NS6.x, in particular will... But you could also look at this:

For $49. bucks, it apparently does marvels!

Again, I tried getURL and it locked my computer up every time. Don't know what the difference is, but if it worked for you in a projector file, I'll look at it again.

Also, JStart looks like what I'm after in any case. Thanks.
