Calling a URL

[MadamZuZu]

hi

this is a very stupid newby question.

i can't figure out how to call a url on a click on a button, i understand that i need to have httpservices... so i have htis:

<mx:HTTPService id="sanData"
url="{myURL}"/>

but, what do i put for "onclick"?

Thanks!

this is what i'm doing:

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
  public function submitForm():void
  {
  	formSender.send();
   }
]]>
</mx:Script>

	<mx:HTTPService id="formSender" 		url="http://google.com"/>

and this is what im getting:

[RPC Fault faultString="Error #1090: XML parser failure: element is malformed." faultCode="Client.CouldNotDecode" faultDetail="null"]

Do you want the browser to load google.com? If this is the case, you don't want to use HTTPService. Instead, you want to use the navigateToURL function. The HTTPService is meant to load the actual content from an URL, such as XML data, into a Flex application.
