Can't getURL in projector

[leohee]

I have create a corporate profile for my company and it is require export to projector format, but I cannot send an email using the action: geturl("mailto:email@email.com"). Of course, I know it will work if I export as html and swf. Also, This error will not happen in Win98 but Win2000/XP.

I believe mailto: is a browser command, therefore it cannot be executed without a browser :-\

Why it works in 2k/XP I am not sure.

:( really? that is too bad. Looks like I have to switch my final file format from exe to html.

(I am sure it works under win98)

[reverendflash]

are you sure that the problem computer has an email program specified in the default browser?

That is the only thing I can think of...

sure...I am using MS outlook express 6.0

But is it set like that in your user preferences?

[leohee]

yes I did...but it doesn't works...I tried to use dynamic text field to load a text file with some HTML tags, but <a href=mailto:> is useless.

Okay, I have made an .exe, then ran it on my W2k machine, and it works...

So I think you need to make double sure that the W2k machine has a default mail program listed in the default browser preferences...

hope this helps,

Yes, I am very very very sure that my MS outlook express is the default mail handler, also I have specify MS outlook express is a default mail handler in my MS IE6 Internet option. It should be OK since I only uses MS outlook express.:-\

By the way, what if my clients face the same problem? :(

[reverendflash]

Then I don't know...

Mine works on my W2k machine...

Sorry, :*(
