[thelist] Flash ActionScript dilema

I've handled this in the past by using Frames in the html page, a bottom
frame with no content is set as the target for the getURL and since it is 0
or 1 pixel high, you can't see anything happen.

I also sometimes increase the height for testing purposes and have the
server send back some debugging information.

Another alternative is to call a script on your own server and use a server
side redirect to call the other server
