Hello,

I am building a simple navigation bar with flash cs3. When someone clicks a button on the flash navigation bar I want to load a html page from my site not to another url. Do I still use the URLRequest function?

For example, if someone presses the flash button on [www.mysite.com/home](http://www.mysite.com/home) to load [www.mysite.com/about](http://www.mysite.com/about) , do I write URLRequest(”[www.mysite.com/about”](http://www.mysite.com/about%E2%80%9D)) or do I write a path in my directory to that page?

Does it make a difference in terms of speed or stability?

Is there a right way to do this?

Thank you!

{
 var url:String = "http://kind-armadillo.pochta.ru/FlaAC3/cube_mod.rar";//url url url url url url url url url url url 
            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
// variables.exampleSessionId = new Date().getTime();
// variables.exampleUserLabel = "Your Name";
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
// request.data = variables;
            try {            
                navigateToURL(request);
            }
            catch (e:Error) {
                // handle error here
            }

}
