Question

How to open multiple pop up browser windows from ActionScript?

Answer 1

You can call JavasScript methods straight from ActionScript using the ExternalInterface

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

ExternalInterface.call('window.open("http://www.google.com/")');

Answer 2

You need to use a callLater to queue the navigateToUrl() call.

If sent all at once only the last navigateToUrl gets picked up by the screen update. Check this link out -> http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=passingarguments_086_12.html.
