Answer 1

you could do it like this and you shouldn’t have a problem:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.URL.co.uk/");
    navigateToURL(request);
}, false, 0, true);

myButton2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.URL2.co.uk/");
    navigateToURL(request);
}, false, 0, true);

btw i’m not a fan of anonymous functions but in this case i think it’s ok to use them…
