HeaderControllerWidget.mxml - "About" link

[PaulFerro1]

I do not want a splash page to open when the user click's the "About" tab in the Flexviewer 2.5.  Instead, I want to replace it with a simple hyperlink, so that when the user click's the "About" tab in opens a website in another window.

Thanks for any help!
Paul

Paul,

But the answer is in the HeaderControllerWidget.mxml find the showAbout function:

            private function showAbout():void             {                 HTMLPopup.show(aboutContent, aboutButtonLabel, aboutWidth, aboutHeight);             }

And replace it with something like this:

            private function showAbout():void             {                 var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("yoururl");                 navigateToURL(u);             }
