A bare-bones example of a navigation button you are after:
// NavigationButton class
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
public class NavigationButton extends Sprite {
public var href:String;
public var label:String;
public function NavigationButton(h:String, l:String):void {
href = h;
label = l;
init();
}
private function init():void {
mouseChildren = false;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
with(tf){
autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
text = label;
}
addChild(tf);
}
}
}
//
...then you create a NavigationButton instance from your document class:
//
private function init():void {
var navBtn:NavigationButton = new NavigationButton("index.html", "Home");
navBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navBtnClick);
addChild(navBtn);
}
private function navBtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(e.target.href));
}
//
