Is it possible to load a URL on stage?

Question

Hi,
I'm using Flash CC-Action Script 3, is it possible to load a URL onto the stage?

Answer 1

Thanks. I think our IT department will handle it since they do html/java/and
all that stuff except for action script/flash. I am a little desperate
though. I need to have this at least display a working clock for know and
the phone list, which will display fine once I get to it. Can you be so kind
and look at my horrible action script and help me get the clock to work
continuously and show minutes under 10 with a "0"?  I just need to have
something to show for our Annual Management meeting.
Thank you sincerely for your time.
