Thanks, John! It now works, but I have another issue in that it opens a
new browser. I looked up linkToURL and found an example of using "_Top"
but I am still having a problem. Also I had to use your first example
because of the word "PRGNAME" which is in the URL. The following example
still opens a new browser but it runs the right program. :-)
private function returnToMagicHome():void
{
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest("http://localhost/Magic94Scripts/mgrqispi94.dll?APPNAME=Chart
_Maker&PRGNAME=nav_frame&ARGUMENTS=-N2007011101,_top"));
}

I used your second example but I get the following error on the button:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type
flash.net:URLRequest.

Subject: Re: [AFFUG Discuss] Exiting an Application and Calling a URL
To call a link in Flex/Flash, you utilize URLRequest and navigateToURL
The syntax looks like this:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
private function goToGoogle():void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com";));
}
more generally...
private function linkToURL(resource:String):Void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(resource));
}
<mx:Button label="Exit" click="navigateToURL('http://www.google.com')"/>

I have an "Exit" button that I need to close the application and call a
URL. What is the proper syntax for this? I get an error with the
following code:
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.
<mx:HBox borderStyle="solid" paddingTop="10"
paddingBottom="10"
paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10">
<mx:Button label="View"

<mx:Button label="Delete"/>
<mx:Button label="Exit"
