I have created a flash menu with the following ajax links in Actionscript

```auto

getURL("javascript:makeRequest('content.php?category=help', 'textContent')");

```

But now i like to use jQuery, but how do i translate this in Actionscript

```auto

$.get("content.php", { category: "help"}, function(data){
	$("div#textContent").html(data);
  } );

```

</div>

ok i think this will work, but i bypass the $(document).ready part

```auto

<script type="text/javascript">
function gotoURL(cat) {  
 alert(cat);
  //$(document).ready(function(cat){
   // Your code here

	  $.get("content.php", { category: cat}, function(data){
			$("div#textContent").html(data);
		  } );
  //end code
 //});
 }
</script>

```
