How do I open a link in the default browser in Adobe AIR onClick?

Right now I’m building an RSS Adobe AIR application using Flash. It uses an HTML loader to parse the feed into readable parts. I found part of the code from a tutorial but one thing has been bothering me. I would like to open my RSS links in the browser, and not within the application itself. My code as is creates the HTML like this:
for(var a=0; a
RSSItems[a].child(“link”)
RSSContent+=
”
\
“+RSSItems[a].child(“title”)+”\
\
”
}
As you can see, it gets pretty messy with escape characters but it works. However, onClick, I’d like to open in the user’s default browser. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this with the restraints of using HTML?
document.location sends it to the same dynamic text field my feed is pulled up in. I tried going to a self-created function onclick but perhaps I’m not doing it right?
function linkage(href) {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(href), “_blank”);
}
