Could you please refrase your question, or maybe give us an example?
I'm intrested in interactivity with the browser too, and I may be able to help you out.
One of the problems with constructing whole sites in flash is that the user looses some of the functionalities of regular web pages. FX, searching a page, The back/forward buttons and such...
It must be possible (maybe w javascript) to send info from a swf to the browser statusbar(lower left corner). Like on a regular page when you can see where a links goes or what the content of a link is, stuff like that.
-hope to get some good clues on this!

Ok, Got ya'
Actually, you can call a javascript function using the GetURL comand, and in the location type javascript:YourFunction() That will call a JavaScript function embeded in your html page that your swf lies in. If you create a function called status() then you can call it, and the function would contain this line window.status(Words here!) I think that's correct, you may want to look that up at http://www.javascripts.com
I hope that I have helped!
