I just need to automatically call a url when the movie is loaded. It just
needs to call a URL like http://www.testurl.com/execute.cfm and continue with
the movie. I do not need it to do anything with the page execute.cfm. I just
need that page to run so I can record that the movie was watched.

How can I do this? Once again it does not seem hard, but it is for me...

Thanks

just include this line in the first frame of the main timeline of your movie:

getURL("http://www.testurl.com/execute.cfm", "_blank");

So will that launch a new window? Or just make the call. I am about to try it now, but I do not want it to open a new window.

Ok, it will still open a window. I just want to call that link without the
user even knowing it. I do not want the page to visually load or anything, I
just want to be able to call the page "behind the scenes".

Any other ideas?
