Hi guys,
Thanks for your fast responses.
Ramon, your solution worked and I can see the values of the URL inside the
onRelease function when i trace it, however a browser wont launch when i
click the button. Im not sure why. Any suggestions?
<<CODE>>
function buildNav():Void {
var dropDownValue:Number = 0;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<_root.numberOfItems; i++) {
//attach the nav Item
trace("done iteration "+i);
navContainer.attachMovie("navItem", "navItem"+i, i);
trace("navItem"+i+" has been attached");
//position the nav Item
navContainer["navItem"+i]._y = dropDownValue;
dropDownValue += 15;
navContainer["navItem"+i]._x = navContainer["navItem"+i]._x;
//assign the title
navContainer["navItem"+i].navItemText =
_root.contentItems[i].navItemText;
//var thisURL = _root.contentItems[i].jobUrl;
navContainer["navItem"+i].__n = i;
navContainer["navItem"+i].onRelease = function() {
trace(_root.contentItems[this.__n].jobUrl);
<-----------------THIS WORKS
getURL(_root.contentItems[this.__n].jobUrl,
"_blank"); <-----------------THIS DOESNT
};
}
}
Cheers,
Craig.
