So basically i have a flash application that needs to call a url when a button is clicked, but i don’t want it to actually load a new window or even load the url. All the button does is call the url and it logs it, kind of like a click tag. My server keeps track of the number of times the particular url is called.

Everything works fine, but everytime i do it, it opens up a new browser window that is empty, i do not want to open a new window. I am using getURL, but that actually opens a new page, is there any other way to do this?

Does that make sense? Thanks for any help.
