navigateToUrl AS3 is not opening a web browser
- by Ronnie
I have a textField on my stage named 'adBuy', which when clicked I want to open up my browser with the defined in URL request. However when I click on the 'adBuy' textField on my SWF it opens Coda, the piece of software I'm using to write this small piece of code?
I am puzzled. Here is my code:
adBuy.defaultTextFormat = adFormat;
adBuy.textColor = 0xFF65CB;
adBuy.x = 640;
adBuy.y = 455;
adBuy.text = "Buy Now";
parent.addChild(adBuy);
adBuy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buyAdvert);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.co.uk");
function buyAdvert(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
trace("link clicked");
}
Is there an error in my code, or is this a common problem for which there is an answer?
