Get URL with Flash in Parent Window

[James Kozick]

The suggested article referenced below is great.  But, my original question was

regarding the possibility of opening an URL in the parent window from the Flash

movie.  I don't believe the article below discusses that.


As I mentioned below,  I would like to include a Get Url command in the Flash movie

that would open the URL in the original parent window.  Is that possible or is it best

as it is implied below to include javascript to enable this action in the html rather

than in the Flash movie and simply embed the Flash movie in the html page?
