mailto: links no longer opening email address

hi there,

something seems to have happened and i'm trying to troubleshoot whether this is a flash problem, a browser configuration problem, or what... but the simple "mailto:" function for email addresses that i used to use all of the time, no longer works. here's a sample page: http://www.veronicamarch.com/ if you click on "contact" and then click one of the mail addresses, nothing happens. i'm using adobe flash CS6, and the actionscript code that i have in on a button symbol is as follows:

on (release) {

  getURL("mailto:aaalavb@abramsart.com");

}

very simple. it used to work ALL. THE. TIME. not sure what the problem is now, any insight? much appreciated.

thanks,

denise
