    Okay, so in using the code provided by jkell (thank you) I am going in the right direction, but I am still not familiar with how counter++ works. I tried to enter a new while condition, but the while condition is not operating how I would like:

    while (Number(MyTextField.text) > 0){
    full.text = String(body.text + count.text + ext.text);
    navigateToURL (new URLRequest (String(full.text)), "_blank");
    currentValue = Number(MyTextField.text);
    MyTextField.text = String(currentValue - countOne);
    countCurrent = Number(count.text);
    count.text = String(countCurrent + countOne);
    }

    Okay, so what I want to do is have it so a serial URL address will continue to load until the MyTextField reaches 0. What the above code does is it will add to the count.text, or the "29" in <http://board.flashkit.com/board/forumdisplay.php?29>, and the default for MyTextField is 5, so the full.text will end up being <http://board.flashkit.com/board/forumdisplay.php?33> (the while command starts with 29). What I want to happen is I want 5 websites to load in "_blank," but what I'm getting is only the last of the 5--<http://board.flashkit.com/board/forumdisplay.php?33>--to load.

    I am thinking I need to add something similar to counter++ at the end, but I'm not sure how to write it. Any suggestions?

    Edit: Hrm, this forum suggests I can only do one navigatetoURL per frame

    Flash is only able to execute one navigateToURL function per frame. A player problem, unfortunately.
    If that's true I'll have to check out Timers or use multiple frames, I suppose. Nuts.
