Touch Button to Open URL

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Brand new at this and scouring thru the documentation and examples. Can anyone point me towards an example or documentation regarding how to open a URL by touching a button. Simple, I know, but I just can’t get it to work. Thanks. [import]uid: 36444 topic_id: 6741 reply_id: 306741[/import]

I have the same problem…

using the openURL api from the docs…

  
local button = display.newRect(100,100,100,100)  
function button:tap()  
system.openURL( "http://www.anscamobile.com" ) -- open URL in browser  
end  
  
button:addEventListener('tap', button)
