Works for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
public var myURL:String;
private function imageClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
myURL = "http://www.yahoo.com/";;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(myURL), "_self");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas>
<mx:ApplicationControlBar>
<mx:Image source="@Embed('logo.gif')" id="logo"
click="imageClick(event);"/>
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>
SWF, HTML file etc on the remote server.
What do you mean when you say "does not work"? Do you get an error
message?
You click the image and nothing happens? Something else?
