In Actionscript and Actionscript 2 it is really easy.
Example:
getURL(“http://domain.com/webpage.html”,”_blank”);
But the easiest way is to do it in Actionscript 3.0 is textfield.htmlText
htmlText code
var link:TextField = new TextField();
link.htmlText = “<a href=’http://domain.com’>SomeDomain</a>”;
addChild(link);
setStyle
What about making the text blue AND underlined like a normal HTML link, how would one go about doing that.
Use a StyleSheet.
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var link:TextField = new TextField();
style.setStyle(“A”,{textDecoration:”underline”, color:”#0000FF”, fontSize:”24″, fontFamily:”Arial”, fontWeight:”bold” });
link.styleSheet = style;
link.width = 280;
link.htmlText = “<a href=’http://domain.com’>Domain.com</a>”;
addChild(link);
Other Alternatives
If the flash file is running on localhost (and not hosted off the internet) One would need to get permission from the user (change the settings) to go to the internet. A minor point. Additionally one would need to change the mouse cursor when it rolls over the text to show that it is clickable.
public function Loader()
{
var link:TextField = new TextField();
link.text = “Domain.com”;
link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickLink);
addChild(link);
}
function clickLink(e:MouseEvent)
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(‘http://domain.com’), ‘_blank’);
}

I’ve put some GET statements on a row of buttons in flash like the following but it doesn’t work quite right. What happens is this. You access the front page http://www.bornefromabove.co.uk/news/html, and you choose a button. It pops up a new browser. ONly from WITHIN this browser will it then let you navigate across the pages using one browser. Why does it pop one up to start with? But then work okay once you are inside the browser it has popped up. I just don’t get it.
