Linking to external HTML page

[NoRefund17]

i cant find a way to link to external html with AS 3.0. Everythign i find from searchign on forums and tutorial sites sais use getURL();, but i always get an error when doing this in AS3.0 so i'm guessing that this isnt a valid way to do it anymore :/? Can anybody lend a hand? Id like to load it from a button to a new window. I just need the load page cammand though, i can do the button listener and function and all that by now hehe^^. Thx in advance^^


(also, i ask alot of noob as 3.0 questions. anybody know a good beginner book for AS 3.0. I have the O'Reilly AS 3.0 cookbook but this doesnt offer the noob support i need..lol)

I have never tried with HTML but with ASP this works fine
try this:

var imgnam:String;
imgnam = loadVariables(" http://yor.com/urpage.asp","post");

//m1 (the instance of movie) u can create dynamically or at design time

m1.loadMovie(imgnam,"post");
m1._x = 40;
m1._y = 10;

ty for the reply^^. Still having problems though. Whenever i run this code i get the following errors.
var imgnam:String;
imgnam = loadVariables(" http://yor.com/urpage.asp", "_blank");

//m1 (the instance of movie) u can create dynamically or at design time

this.loadMovie(imgnam, "_blank");


1180: Call to a possibly undefined method loadVariables.

ty dzedward^^ that works great when i test it within flash. But once i publish it i keep getting errors. Security errors like this one.

SecurityError: Error #2146: Security sandbox violation: http://www.filmsenshi.com/testing/mainMovie.swf cannot call navigateToURL because the HTML/container parameter allowNetworking has the value internal.
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()
at mainMovie_fla::MainContentMovie_21/aboutMeListener()

im hosting my file on my own server, but its embeded on a page that is located on somebody elses server. So does this mean i'm unable to do this? or is there a way around that :/. thx^^

Security.allowDomain("*"); im not sure if thats the correct syntax but for AS2 its System.security.allowDomain("*"); check the migration in the help docs.

ok so the embed code where i'm accessing the file from is

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="550" width="950" data=" http://www.filmsenshi.com/testing/mainMovie.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value=" http://www.filmsenshi.com/testing/mainMovie.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>

and if i try and change
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
to
<param name="allowNetworking" value="external" />
it changes it right back to internal :(. So i'm guessing this means, there is no way around it? I guess i cant create links to any websites from my flash. /sigh. Well if anybody knows a way around this, would be apreciated, but if not ty for your help :). At least i leanred how to link to another page for my next site attempt that wont have this stupid filter..hehe

Take a look at the docs on allowNetworking:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel
p.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001079.html

This should help to explain how this works.
