open url / launchbrowser

Monkey Targets Forums/HTML5/open url / launchbrowser

Is there a new way to achieve this now? (I mean: open an url in a new window, which doesn't work with openurl - opens in the same window). Somehow LaunchBrowser doesn't work - gives me an "Identifiyer LaunchBrowser not found" error:

LaunchBrowser("https://www.paypal.com/....blablabla,true)

The inbuilt command is OpenUrl:

Diddy has LaunchBrowser which you can pass in the Boolean parameter either it opens in a new window or not.
Monkey:

Function LaunchBrowser(address:String, openNewWindow:Bool = True)
 	Local windowName:String = "_self"
 	If openNewWindow
 		windowName = "_blank"
 	End
 	LaunchNativeBrowser(address, windowName)
 End

Which calls the native code:

diddy.launchBrowser=function(address, windowName)
{
    window.open(address, windowName);
}
