Getting file data and displaying it in a dynamic text box

Question

The purpose of this function is to load and display a
specific menu for a restaurant (lunch, dinner, dessert, etc.)
This script is located inside of a movie clip that has the
text box and buttons.
There are 4 buttons that have event listeners that go to a
function that determines which button was pushed, and then sends a
call to loadMenu with a string that has the filename.txt.
In frame 1 of the movie clip, the variables used in the code
are declared as such:
var newMenuRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
var newMenuLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var loadThisMenu:String = ""; //This is the variable the
buttonclick function alters and sets as the string to send to the
loadMenu.
My error is 1195: attempted access of inaccessible method url
with static type flash.net:URLRequest
Any ideas?

It has a url property.
I would be inclined to create a new URLRequest each time. But
perhaps that's not necessary.
Try changing
newMenuRequest.url(menuName);
to:
newMenuRequest.url=menuName;
see if that works.
Yeah I realize it's a little inefficient.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTION. works perfectly.
