mailto doesn't work with AS3 - 【StackMirror】|actionscript-3|mailto

So this what I use :

btnContactUs.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:test@test.com"), "_blank");
}

I also tried with "_self" and it doesn't do anything ( I know the button work ).

You need to know that It's not an application embbeded in an html page. It's a local .swf that I run ( Ctrl + enter (with the .fla) and it doesn't work ).

Have you set your browser's default e-mail program? If you have none set then likely it will not do anything. For FireFox, http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20used%20by%20Firefo - ToddBFisher 2012-04-04 20:25

whoa, don't ever make anyone install outloo - Ronnie 2012-04-04 21:17

^^ :)))))))))))))))) - Louis 2012-04-04 21:35

    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:test@test.com"), "_blank");

works whether you have it set to access network or local files only, I'm not sure why you can't get it to work, have you tried a simple trace for the fl_ClickToGoToWebPage function to make sure it is called at all?

Yes it is calle - Louis 2012-04-04 20:43

We can use following code with ExternalInterface where 'url' is mailto: link URL. i.e. mailto:abc@xyz.com?subject=Hello&body=defg

//Mailto Links from Flash
    ExternalInterface.call("function(link){var wEmail = window.open(link, '_blank'); setTimeout(function(){ wEmail.close();}, 70);}", url);
