An example of the three different ones. These don’t cover any mxml service type things. Maybe later.
navigateToUrl - Will open a page with the url specified.
sendToUrl - Will send a request behind the scenes, but won’t tell you what the response was…
URLLoader - Will allow you listen for a response or know when the request you just sent has been completed (acknowledged).

I should mention that for the URLLoader I had to stick a crossdomain.xml policy file at the root of my web directory. Which you’ll need if you get the security sandbox violation error.
Another simplistic example, but just needed a refresher myself… One of the next posts should be how to interact with Google’s Spreadsheet API, so perhaps that will feel more meaningful than these last few examples.
