I got the answer to this question...
for those who are trying to achieve the same.. here's the code: (NOT
MINE). This was given to me by "brendansjunk"
MXML code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public function goToURL(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = LinkImage(event.currentTarget).imageURL;
navigateToURL(request, "_top");
}
<com:LinkImage source="{rp2.currentItem.thumb}" buttonMode="true"
imageURL="{rp2.currentItem.vkey}" click="goToURL(event)" />
LinkImage.as code:
package
{
import mx.controls.Image;
public class LinkImage extends Image
{
public var imageURL:String;
}
}
the only reason I'm putitng this code here is to help others who may
be looking to do the same ....
