mailto: links no longer opening email address

[biondo studio]

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

still works for me with the same caveats that always applied: it requires the user to have a default (or at least one) email client.

thanks for checking! after numerous tests, i've realized that it must be because i have gmail set as my default email client. so... although gmail recognizes html text links, flash not so much. at least i can stop driving myself crazy with the flash file!

you're welcome.
