How can I launch a 3rd party email client in AS3?

Question

Hi all,I am trying to mimic the basic mailto: href command you find in HTML in Flash AS3 but cannot figure it out.I simply have text in my flash project like "someone@someone.com" which i want to, when clicked, launch a new compose email with "someone@someone.com" in the to field of the users default email client. Does this make sense?any help would be greatDan

You would use the same type of url ("mailto:xyz@com"), but how to create the link depends on how the text is displayed and your preferences. You can use the link feature in the properties panel if it is a standalone textfield with just the link in it, or you can use html content in the textfield if the link is buried in other text. You can also utilize a button and have the link called up using a navigateToURL call.
