can flash be used to get a user connected to Skype. As in if I create a button, and it could hypothetically, allow a conversation to start with a customer service rep to start from the computer. It was a question put to me and I'm looking for answers where I can get them.

Any Ideas just fire away.

at this link for example, (http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=68059)it discusses clicking a link to dial a skype number. Apparently, this is being done, as far as syntax goes I might do something like this:


public var myurl:String = "+SKYPENUMBER HERE";

private function action(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
var url:String = myurl;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {navigateToURL(request, '_blank');}

catch (evt:Error) {trace("Error occurred!");}
}//end private function action

-not sure of the syntax though I hope this is not way out of left field
