Get URL2

Load the specified URL in the specified target window.

When the target is set as "_level0", the current SWF file is replaced by the file specified in the f_url field. The name in the f_url field should be a proper SWF file or the area will simply become black.

When the target is set as "_level1", something special is supposed to happen. I still don't know what it is...
Also the effect of _level1 + an empty URL is ... (to remove level1?)

The URL can be a JavaScript command when the protocol is set to "javascript:". For instance, you can call your function as follow: "javascript:MyFunction(5)". If you want to use dynamic values, you will need to concatenate strings as required and use Get URL2 instead.

The target can also be set to the regular HTML names such as "_top" or a frame name.
