Using The "Mailto" Function in Swish 2.0

by mystique_knight@hotmail.com

 

Mailto Function: In this Swish tutorial, your going to learn how to use the "Mailto" function
In Swish. This function is great if you would like the users of your website(s) to send you emails.

1.) Create a new Swish Movie.File->New

2.) Add some text into your movie. Insert->Text or click the (T) icon
located near the top of your Swish Program. Add the text "Email Me" into it
and choose a color, font and size if you'd like.

3.) The text you've now added will be the text that people can click on for
there default email program to come up.

4.) Click on the text you made in the swish movie screen so that 8 small
white boxes will appear around it.

5.) Next, you'll want to open the "Actions" tab so you can add the Mailto
function in. To do so, click the actions tab located to the right side of
your screen. If you cannot find it there, make sure that you have the panel
visible by going to, Panels->Actions. If it is selected already, the Actions
panel will be located in your swish program already, you'll just need to
find it.

6.) Once you've got it, and your text is still selected, click on 'Add
Event' in the Actions tab and go to 'On Release'

7.) Now click on 'Add Action' which is also located in the actions tab right
were the add events button was. Click it and scroll down in the little tab
that goes down until you get to 'Mailto' located at the very bottom. Click
it!

8.) Now you will notice at the bottom right side there is 4 fields for you
to add your email information in, (To/CC/Subject & the content area at the
bottom) You will not need to worry about the 'CC' field.

9.) In the 'To:' field place the email address that you want the email from
the users sent to. Most likely your main email address or the address for
your website/business.

10.) Skip the 'CC' field and go to 'Subject.' In this field your going to
want to add the subject you want for the email. So if your looking for
feedback from your site, you would add the word 'Feedback' into the subject
field.

11.) You may now skip the next big field below Subject.

12.) You'll want to now test your movie to ensure that the mailto function
is working. Click File->Test->In browser and click on the text you made
earlier. If your default email program comes up you've got it complete. Just
check the 'To:' & 'Subject' field to ensure the information in them is ok.
If not, go back into your movie and change the info until its correct.

* Good luck everyone.
