Flash content linkable

Is there a way to make flash content open a new tab to a link specified once clicked using either javascript or HTML?

I tried many ways but cannot seem to make this work and Flash content itself is not clickable to a link

Flash content can have clickable links, so using JavaScript or HTML may not be necessary.

The ActionScript 3 function flash.net.navigateToURL(request:URLRequest, window:String) can be used to open webpages exactly like links do. The argument window specifies which window to open the page in ("_self" for the same page, "_blank" in a new window or tab).

For example, in ActionScript 3:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler (event:MouseEvent):void {
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com");
    flash.net.navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
}
