I found out that the new isntruction is : flash.net.navigateToURL

but when I try to go to an URL:  
[AS]  
flash.net.navigateToURL(“[http://www.mrsoluciones.com/quienessomos.html](http://www.mrsoluciones.com/quienessomos.html)”, “\_self”);  
[/AS]

The compiler error window tells me:

“1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type [flash.net](http://flash.net):URLRequest.”

Any ideas what can I do to get to the URL with it opening in it “self”?

THANKS!
