Okay so I have a swf application consuming legacy html text. I want to be able to capture the fact that the flash player requested/passed off a new url request to the containing browser.
So far I only find support for TextField text entry events and TextField html href links when they link use “event:some string” event. Which allows you to parse the string after the : and then do some AS3 logic such as navigateToUrl with it. Which is great going forward but I’d rather not deal with converting the legacy html formatted content. I’m hoping there is a way to capture an event that signifies the fact that the flash player just requested a new url(in my case they will be new windows and I want to execute some code to pause various functions in my app while the user deals with the content of the new html window.)
