I am working on a Multi-panel view for education. The upper left corner runs a .flv (that is working), the lower left has a TOC that opens the specific .flv (that is working)… in the large panel to the right I need a url to open specifically that size and position within the movie…

I have this code:

var [url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://www.google.com](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/URLRequest=new)");  
navigateToURL(url,"\_self");

which is working to open the url in another window… Please provide guidance… what do I need to attach it to (a movie clip) that will autoload?

I am obviously new to flash and working my way through.

Thanks!!:crazy:
