onclick in flash

[printline]

I have problem with onclick in Flash, Please help....

I have a javascript function that says the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
function startLoading() {
Element.show('mainAreaLoading');
Element.hide('mainAreaInternal');
}
function finishLoading() {
Element.show('mainAreaInternal');
setTimeout("Effect.toggle('mainAreaLoading');", 1000);
}

function loadContent(id) {
startLoading();
new Ajax.Updater('mainAreaInternal', 'rpc.php', {method: 'post', postBody:'content='+ id +''});
finishLoading();
}
</script>

I make a link in html that goes like this:

onclick="loadContent(1);"

Now, my problem is, how do i do the same link on a button in Flash........?

using action script for linking is a bit different.

you can use onlick or mousedown or what ever you please, but heres the code

getURL("http://www.scottmanning.com/", "_blank");

basically opens up the specified page, in this case, in a new window

I know about the getURL statement, but not the method i'm looking for here. What i want to do is get some content loaded which i get from a file i have (rpc.php)

If i put the javascript in my index.php document and call the function in a link, onClick="(loadContent(1);" it works fine.

What i'm looking for is a way to do this with actionscript, and the getURL function is not the solution.
