The Alert class has a few nice features. One of these is a function to
run when the Alert box closes:
Alert.show("Do you really want the world to End?", "Kill Everyone",
Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, worldEndHandler);
The other item you are looking for is navigateToURL:
private function worldEndHandler(event:CloseEvent):void
{
if (event.detail == Alert.YES)
{
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest(""http://armageddon.com/sayhellotogod.html, '_self');
}
}
