Loading a url

[turtle0506]

For some reason the menu doesn’t load to the URL that I specify in my xml file. When I click on it, it showed up as text underneath the menu itself as Link clicked:____. How can I make it so that the link will actually go to URL that I specify in my xml file?

This is the AS on the main frame.

stage.scaleMode = “noScale”;
stage.align = “LT”;

//handle click events
import classes.MenuEvent;
menuHolder.addEventListener(MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK,clickHandler);

function clickHandler(e:MenuEvent)
{
var link:String = e.data;
//use the link var to do something
linkInfo.text = "Link clicked: "+link;
}�

this is menu container code

xmlLoaderObj = null;

}
//call when xml is loaded

switch( event.type )
