Salesforce Classic to Lightning

Trying to duplicate a  process that was developed in Salesforce Classic.  What should happen is a method in a controller should be launched on page load of  a visual force page, the constructor should do some work and return  a parm to the visualforce page.  Do not want to click more buttons other than the initial "action button" that calls a visualforce page.  Could someone please explain what is in error here?  Is this the correct path to take?  
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" extensions="opportunityMockUp" showQuickActionVfHeader="false"> 
<script>  
         window.onload = new function() { buildURL(); };
            function buildURL()

			//Just a container to launch the action button
            };   
  </script>
  <script>          
            function navigateToMockUp(){

                   alert('{!theBuiltURL}');

This is what finally worked.  It cannot be this difficult to replace URL hacks.  I must be missing something.

What exactly are you trying to do?  
ShadowlessKickShadowlessKick
The top statement of this post says what I am trying to do.
SattibabuSattibabu
I am not getting you fully. I can suggest you one thing based on my understanding is that build a lightning component which will call the controller method at the time of component loading . You can do this with 'init' method and afer that use that component in visualforce page. Please check the below links for furhter reference. 

https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2015/03/lightning-components.html

Including Lightening component into Visualforce page and passing parameter through VF page to Lightening component.
