Hyperlink from a button

How do I link to a webpage in Torque?

I have a Flash Gui (using the Flash resource), on which I have a nice, pretty "Buy Now" button, which I want to link to a web page. I am assuming the best way to do this is to have that call an fsCommand (which essentially just calls a Torque script command), which then calls whatever command Torque uses to bring up the appropriate link. What's that command?

I am NOT looking for how to link through HTML in the help files.

Thanks for your help in advance!

If you are using a Flash gui, you'd need the Flash command to do what you are speaking about.

In Torque, the function is gotoWebPage( %url );

...just make the URL the web page you want loaded.

Thanks guys! Searching through the code and the forums for the word "link" "html" and "hyperlink" were fruitless. Much appreciated!

Yep thanks. Searching for "link" "web" and "command" brought me straight here. :)
