 / Published in: ActionScript 3
 

URL: http://www.stevensacks.net/2008/02/06/as3-geturl-solved/

my_btn.pack.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myBtnClicked);

function myBtnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void { try { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("/index.php"), "_self"); } catch (e:Error) { trace("Error occurred!"); } }
