Not that its a big deal at all, but since almost every constant string value in AS3 is provided in a class as a static constant property, why is there no class that contains the constant window values for navigateToURL()?
Shouldn’t there be a class that provides the following?:
public static const SELF:String = "_self";
public static const BLANK:String = "_blank";
public static const PARENT:String = "_parent";
public static const TOP:String = "_top";
Like I said, its not a big deal, since its simple enough to do. Just seems like something left out from the AS3 classes.

Yea that does seems strange but even the class that you import for navigateToURL isn’t really a full class but a package? It seems weird that you’d import it under the thought that it would be it’s own class when you’re only using the method.
I believe navigateToURL is actually a package level function, if that is the case I am not even sure where the proper place to put these constants would be.
Just in a separate class under flash.net named URLRequestWindow.
