want to make a button that when clicked launches email

no no thatas not the problem like....its doing what its supposed to do but its also opening a blank firebox window...meaning something in the original code is calling that window to open...which part would that be?

shouldn't need to but

navigateToURL(request);

to

navigateToURL(request, "_self");


edit: spelling

thank you so much this code works well except for the fact that while it opens up my email provider and all that it also opens up a blank window in my firefox....what part of the code makes that happen how can i remove that?

function sendEmail(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "mailto:someone@somewhere.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(request);
}

emailButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendEmail);
