Title: How do I add URL links to the MenuBar component in Flash CS3?
I am using the MenuBar for my website menu and I want to set the buttons to link to my website pages.
I've followed instructions in both my manual and the Flash help and I'm still a bit lost. I don't know a line of Actionscript except stop(); Code please.
Thanks

there is no nitive functionality in flex menubar to use links. you can extend the menubar class to add such functionality

see this example to use menuBar in flex to open links . We are using here "navigateToURL" to open link on menuItem click
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init();" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.MenuEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.collections.*;
[Bindable]
public var menuCollection :XMLListCollection;
private var menubarXML:XMLList =
<>
<menuitem label="Menu1" data="top">
<menuitem label="yahoo.com" data="1"/>
<menuitem label="msn.com" data="2"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Menu2" data="top">
<menuitem label="MenuItem 3" data="3"/>
</menuitem>
</>;
// create menu items
private function init():void {
menuCollection = new XMLListCollection(menubarXML);
}
// click handler for menubar
private function menuHandler(event:MenuEvent):void {
if(event.item.@label=="yahoo.com"){
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://yahoo.com');
navigateToURL(url,'_parent');
}else if(event.item.@label=="msn.com"){
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://msn.com');
navigateToURL(url,'_parent');
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel title="MenuBar Control Example" height="70%" width="70%" paddingTop="6" paddingLeft="6">
<mx:MenuBar labelField="@label" itemClick="menuHandler(event);" dataProvider="{menuCollection }" />
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>

use the below code to open a url on button click in flash cs
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick)
//button click function
function buttonClick(evt:Event){
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://msn.com');
navigateToURL(url,'_parent');
}
