AS3: Link URL Manager

 / Published in: ActionScript 3
 

Super basic, but I use this all the time to make buttons execute external links.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. hitBox.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, linkDown);
  2. hitBox.xLink = "http://www.google.com"
  3.  
  4. private function linkDown (evt:MouseEvent):void
  5. {
  6. 	var url:String = evt.target.xLink;
  7. 	var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);
  8.  
  9. 	try 
  10. 	{
  11. 		navigateToURL (req, "_blank");
  12. 	} catch (evt:Error) 
  13. 	{
  14. 		trace("Error occurred!");
  15. 	}
  16. }
