Flex Mobile Open App Store for Reviews

Question

Using Flash Builder/Flex Mobile, is there a way to create a button in an iphone/ipad app that will redirect and open the app store/review section of your application? Just trying to find a way to get users to rate my app.

Thanks!

OK I think I have a full answer now. Thanks to Flextras and some googling.

So to make a button that will redirect to Apple Store review page for your app in Flex Mobile project..

<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import flash.net.navigateToURL;
        protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
        {
            var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://userpub.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZUserPublishing.woa/wa/addUserReview?id=(YOU APP ID GOES HERE)&type=Purple+Software");
            navigateToURL(urlReq, "_self");
        }
    ]]>
</fx:Script>

Then the button..

<s:Button y="720" width="65%" height="70" label="Rate this App"
   click="clickHandler(event)" />
