Hopefully a simple answer to my flash to php question

I have a flash banner where the user is selecting one out of three videos. We are trying to have a counter in php add up the total number of votes each video gets. Once the video gets counted it exports it to an xml file.

It works when we use this code…

on(release){

getURL(“http://www.aradeek.com/adklayerframe/vote_video.php?vid=1”, “_blank”);

}

The problem is, as you know, getURL launches a window, or replaces a window, etc. Which we do not want.

I have tried a ton of other methods, but cannot get this to work, aside from using the getURL method.

Please help?
