I agree, this does sound preferable for the project you are making.


I don't know if Director allows you to do this (comments?) but Flash

projectors just don't have much in the way of system-level operability.

They're mainly intended to play animations outside of the browser. It's

logical that people want to do more with them, but the GetURL "mailto:" just

doesn't have the ability to target specific applications. I would hesitate

building Flash projectors for this purpose myself.


Thanks for the info, though. It is definitely worth discussing. You can also

send requests like this to

wish-flashmacromedia [dot] com

, where the Flash

product team reads feature requests.
