gotonetpage("mailto:user@domain.com") opens 2 new mails in outlook!!!!!

[Fraggy]

Hi there,

Perhaps not the best way to send mails in the first place, but Director
rewards me with 2 (!!!) new mail messages.
NB: I'm using Director MX and the gotoNetPage(mailto:). It's for a
webproject (thus not a projector).

I'm giving this command only once (on mouseup) so where does that second new
message come from and more important: how do I get rid of it :o)

Any suggestions on a websafe way to send mails, I'd happy to hear it!

JM.

Hi JM,

Due to several issues, it's not recommended to use this method when sending
email in Director. But still, it should not be opening two instances
(however, i have heard of this happening). Do you have another script
attached to the send email button? probably a cursor change behavior?
What's your default browser/email client?

For other alternatives to sending email in Director, please check out the
following links:

Indeed I have a cursorchange behaviour to the send button (I'll check if
removing it solves the problem), and my browser is IE 6 (SP1), Outlook 6
(SP1).

Thanx for the links, I'll check it out.

I have seen this.

I believe it´s a system thing. For once I don´t blame mm. I have seen the
"bug" on some systems but playing the same movie on other systems the "bug"
is gone... Don´t have a clue why.
