Create Email

[ LiB ]

A very common question that many people have about Flash is, "How can I create an email using Flash?" The truth is, you can't. But Flash can make an HTML call that will open a new email message. This is assuming that the user has an email client installed on his/her machine.

On a button or movie clip instance:

 on (release) {    getURL("mailto:[e-mail]"); } 

On a keyframe (frame action):

 getURL("mailto:[e-mail]"); 

Adding the mailto: directive will automatically open a new email message on the user's machine. If the person does not have an email client or their client is not configured correctly, this method can fail. However, this is a very common method used in HTML, and it's typically very reliable.
