Hi all,

I want to put an event on a bubblechart I’ve created in flex so that each time a bubble is double clicked a new webpage is launched with some info on that bubble - for example if the bubble represented google, the new webpage would be [google.com](http://google.com)!

Does anyone have any ideas how to launch a new webpage from flex?

Thanks,  
Derm

I got this to work using the navigateToURL function from import flash.net.navigateToURL;
