Title: opening a page in a browser when a choice is selected from the Menu
The choice item is defined in MXML as
<menuitem label="Help">
<menuitem label="Documentation" data="documentation.swf" />
</menuitem>
Code on what to do when it is selected is
<mx:ApplicationControlBar id="appBar" x="0" y="0" dock="false" visible="false" width="100%">
<mx:MenuBar id="appNavigation" dataProvider="{appNavigation_dp}" labelField="@label" iconField="@icon" itemClick="menuBarButtons(event);" />
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>
//Function called menuBarButtons is
private function menuBarButtons(event:MenuEvent):void{
var pageName:String = event.item.@data;
switch(pageName){
case 'Documentation':
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://www.mydocumentation.com');
navigateToURL(url,'_blank');
break;
}
//I have done the required imports such as
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLVariables;

Hello Chris
I have tried same code at my side, Code working fine.
I would suggest to check your browser setting may be pop-up is blocked in your window.
or debug the code and go step by step in function might be you will solve it.

Hi Virat,
Thanks for the reply, but the code I had was wrong. How did it work properly at your side?
I changed the data = "documentation.swf" to data = "helpdoc"
and changed case 'Documentation' to case 'helpdoc' and it worked fine.
After then only it worked fine.

Hi...
Code working fine at my side it means the code syntax is right like
var pageName:String = event.item.@data;
switch(pageName){
case 'Documentation':
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://www.mydocumentation.com');
navigateToURL(url,'_blank');
break;
i have forcefully set variable pageName to 'Documentation' than it work fine.
that's what i mean to say in my above answer. but is condition may fall wrong in your case than definitely a problem in data or code.
