I want to load a new "Page" really it is a new section of the same movie, but I need to update the URL address WITHOUT reloading the site. Is this possible using actionscript??

THANK YOU!

It sounds like what you want is the URL address that is shown in the user's browser to update, without actually navigating to that page.

I don't think that's possible, with or without Flash. If you really want that to happen, I think the best way would be to have separate SWF files for each page.

you want that button to cause another browser window to open and load a html document at another url?

No, a user comes to our web site, and clicks on one of the buttons that I have created in the movie. Now, that button loads up an all new section of the same movie that was hidden until they clicked on the button. That works fine. But now, I want the button to update the URL to something new when it is clicked, without reloading the current page.

xxxxxxxx.com

I want to update it to xxxxxxx.com/xxxxxxx

without loading that new URL. just change the url.
