// GetURL Class by Rick Nuthman
// 10.4.09
// Usage:
// new GetURL("url", "target");

package com.frigidfish{
   
    import flash.net.*;
   
    public class GetURL{
       
        private var request:URLRequest;
       
        public function GetURL(url:String, target = '_self'){
           
            request = new URLRequest(url);         
            navigateToURL(request, target);
           
        }
    }
}

It’s just a bare bones script that works like the old getURL method from actionscript 2.
It defaults to opening the url in a blank page, but you can change this by modifying the 2nd parameter.
