How do I do getURL?

[OM2]

I haven't really got into coding in AS3 at all yet and and still stuck in AS1!

I need to write a quick function:

myButton.onRelease = function()
{
getURL("start.html");
}

Simple?
Erm... it doesn't compile - I get about 4 errors

What am I doing wrong!?

I haven't been lazy and have looked at the help files
It's telling me to start off by using navigateToURL() instead

BUT: all the examples relating to this function call ALL come with about 10 extra lines of code

Am I missing something?? Do I *have* to have all that code JUST to make that same function call?

I'd really appreciate if someone could get me started and tell me where I'm going wrong!

Thanks

You don't need that much code. The special-case onRelease property has been replaced by the general purpose addEventListener mechanism. getURL has been replaced by navigateToURL. That's about it.

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);
function clickButton(event:MouseEvent):void{
  navigateToURL(new URLRequest("start.html"));
}
