Ok, here's my problem: I want to make a button that when clicked, will email someone the content of a text box in my animation. How would I go about this?
Please help someone!

1) Draw your button
2) Convert to symbol (button duhh)
3) Got to windows > behaviours (or click ctrl+f3)
4) A little panel should now open either on the right sidebar or floating above the flash
5) Select your button and then click the little blue "+" sign on the behaviour panel
6) Go down to the "web" option and select "go to webpage"
7) Type in the URL box, "mailto:youremailehere@stuff.com" (without the speech marks)
8) On the "open in" menu, select "_blank"

And that's it... you're done. :)

Thanks, but I have a problem there. ctrl+f3 gives me the properties panel and there is no "Behaviours" under windows. is there any other way?

It's shift-f3, not control. It's in the submenu Development Panels in the Window menu.

In my version (8) behaviours is just under window, nothing about development panels?

But yeah it is shift+f3 sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be. :p
