ActionScript 2 - Actionscript problem with vista and the mailto tag??

Hi I'm still pretty new with flash any help would be greatly appreciated,

I'm working on a flash based website and trying to make a simple contact us page with a button that u click and it opens the default email program on your computer.

the problem is that the windows mail and windows live mail will only run in Vista.

the code is quite simple, I have a text window stating the email address then a button saying "or simply click here"

the actions on the button are:

EDIT: (this forum will not allow the posting of Email adresses so replaced my actual email in the mail to with myEmailAdress)

on (release) {
getURL("mailto: myEmailAdress?");
}


again when I publish in a browser and run in vista the site works fine but in xp when I click the button nothing happens.

any ideas?

Hi, it should open whatever the default mail program is on that system. Are you sure you've set one up on XP? You can test it out by opening an IE instance and sticking the mailto link in the address bar and firing it off. It should give you the same result as the getURL function.
