Sending email with gertURL

Nothing to do with Flash. For "mailto:" to work, you need to have a default e-mail application set. On windows, see the Internet settings "Applications" tab.
Note that I personnaly disadvise the use of "mailto:" because not every machine have a default mail client set (those who uses webmail, shares session, connects from cybercafé, etc...). And prefer server-side solution for messaging or mail sending .

getURL() works just the way a hyperlink does in HTML. If a mailto: link
works for this client in an HTML page, it will work in Flash. OF course,
the function must be properly used. According to the documentation, the
parameter must be a string (see the getURL() entry in the ActionScript
Language Reference for details). In your sample above, you haven't provided
quotation marks, so the mailto: part isn't a string.

It doesn't work cause you need to use quotes, the correct syntax is :

getURL("mailto:jsdj@where.com");
