This is my code I want that index.html to open but its not opening . What am I doing wrong

function makebtn(mc:MovieClip,aurl:String):void {

mc.aurl = aurl;

mc.buttonMode = true;

mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoaurl);

}

function gotoaurl (e:MouseEvent):void{

var aurl:String = e.target.aurl;

navigateToURL(new URLRequest(aurl));

}

makebtn(btn, 'index.html');

e.target isn't always the same as e.currentTarget, aurl may be mis-defined and/or you may have a security sandbox issue. start testing.

you can use navigateToURL() for both those file types:

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("yourPDF.pdf"));

//navigateToURL(new URLRequest("yourHTML.html"));
