Open a webpage in flex application

Question

How can I open a web (example www.cnn.com) in a Flex application?

Answer 1

I understand that you are trying to open an url in the default system browser.Please try this.

var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
            //To open in a new tab
            navigateToURL(urlRequest,_blank);
            //To open on top of the same page
            navigateToURL(urlRequest,_top);
