If you just want to open the user's browser's default mail form, try something like this in your get URL action:
on (release) {
getURL ("mailto:youremail@hotmail.com", "blank"
;
}
It works in Flash 4... it should do the same in Flash 5!
If you want to design your own form, check out this tutorial
It's also written for Flash 4... so you'll have to adapt it to Flash 5 syntax, but it should work also!
You can also type mail in the advanced search box in the forum's menu... A lot of threads on the subject!
Do I get another star?

hi
Use the getURL action. Instead of http//:.... just put in mailto:emailaddress@blah.com
i.e. if you wanted to set up an automatic e-mail link to me your button would have the actions:
On (press)
getURL (mailto:davdesign@hotmail.com)
End On

PS: been upgrading computers past 36 hours so apologies for not replying to e-mails if sent. (didn't know we had a Jedi Knight in the forum Old!!!) davdesign@hotmail.com

Sorry for repeating your message Old, must've posted at same time!!
On (release)
getURL ("start.html", window="main"
End On
But make sure that the frame you want it to load in has the name "main".

Hey ...I tryed to write it that way. With & with out the window. But for some reason every time I try to put some thing in, it does some crazy stuff. Flash 5 puts everything in the: geturl("" and soforth. But When I put the url in like geturl("start.html" flash put the "" in it for me. When I try to put somthing else in it like: geturl("start.html" "main" it does this: geturl("start.html\" \"main" I've tryed it everyway posibble but it just comes up web site not visitable. The whole page not the "main" that I wanted. ????????? Hope your still out there OldNewbie....Thanks for all your help sofar... Like I said earlyer, This is my first time with any flash. I knew I was getting in over my head when I got it....But thanks for your help...I owe you one. Need a crack.. LOL

Here's what's probably wrong. When you right click on actions... hit the right top arrow, and select expert mode. You'll then be able to edit your actions like with a text editor. Normal mode is for like presets.
Now type or edit your action:
on (release) {
getURL ("merry.html", "mainsite"
}
... mainsite being the name of your frame in the frameset!
Watch the syntax!
I'll be around but as I said... connection problems this morning!

I know what you mean. I've got cable but my cable has been out since last sunday morning. I've been fussing but it doesn't seem to do no good. I had to go back to a 56K. After you've been on cable and have to go back to 56k it's slow as a snail. I'll try that. I though that you had to do all of that in normal mode. Thanks again. Hope your connection gets better.....Melocco....
