Open an email via *@* hyperlink 1

[rossmcl]

I thought I would just use URL action and MAILTO:ross@mclanachan.com

How do you do this - if I have a text symbol that I want to click on to generate an email - what action do I use to create the blank email.

Thanks as Always.

hi

>> Create a new graphic symbol containing a rectangle the same size as your text.
>> Create a new button symbol. Insert the graphic you just made and change the 'alpha' setting for the graphic to zero.
>> Type in the link text.
>> Press Ctrl+K and set everything to centre on each other.
>> Go back to the main timeline and drag on your new button.
>> Double-click on the button and select the actions tab.
>> Put in the actions:

On (press)
Get URL ("mailto:ross@maclanachan.com&quot
End On

Hey presto, one mail button.

Hope it helps
