Passing XML-based hyperlink into a button instance

programming flash
1

Hi,

I’m currently trying to load specific XML data as a hyperlink into a button,
the hyperlink is saved in the xml-file, and called upon by “childURL”,

now if I assign this function to the child_mc, which is formed into a menu dynamically within an instance named emptyMC, it will give me the link:

btnLink.onRelease = function() {
    getURL(childURL, "_blank");
};

problem is I want to assign the link, when the child_mc-movieclip is clicked, to a button named ‘linkbutton’ on the main stage

  • which will then load the page assigned in the xml-file when clicked.

How would I load this data inside the button on stage?
All codes I tried just open my browser and link to nowhere.
