Opening email program scripting

[naggistar]

Hi, me again.

Is it possible to open an email program with scipting Lingo in Director MX?

Thanks.

The easiest way is to use

gotoNetPage

:

--
gotoNetPage "mailto:someone@someurl.com?subject=Some%20subject"
--

However this may not work always. Even if it works, a web browser may launch at the same time.

There are several other better ways.

(1) Use Buddy API

--
baOpenFile("mailTo:someone@someurl.com?subject=Some%20subject", "Normal")
--

(2) Use Flash

--
getURL("mailTo:someone@someurl.com?subject=Some%20subject", "Normal")
--

(3) Use Xtra such as “DirectEmail Xtra”

(3) Use CGI script
