Linking to "home.htm?id=1" ?

[spoken]

Hi,

How can I link to "home.htm?i d=1" ? I have tried to use
getURL("home.ht m%3Fid-=1") and getURL("home.ht m?id-=1")
but it doesn't work because flash looks for the physical file which doesn't exist because I'm using the parameter id=1 to generate some values in my page.

Thanks in advance.

Hi spoken.
I don't know what you're trying to do exactly, but
getURL("home.ht m?id=1");
should work without any problem

This way:
getURL("home.ht m?id-=1")

maybe didn't work for you because of that - (dash) before the =

Kind regards,

Hi,

What I'm doing is that I have created 1 page, home.htm. And based on the id, I will populate different data in that page from my XML. So home.htm?id=1 gets a different set of data from home.htm?id=2.

So, basically there is no physical page call "home.htm?id=1" , hence when I do getURL("home.ht m%3Fid=1"), flash cannot find the file and give me a "404-page not found" error.

Btw, I use "%3F" in place of "?" because it doesn't recognize "?" in the parameters of getURL()

Thanks.

Yes, you were right.
I could just use getURL("home.ht m?id=1")

The problem was that that didn't work when I tried to run it on my computer but it works when put it up in the web server.

Thanks.

Hi
The url you are passing to getURL is just a string, and you should pass it the exact same way you would write it on the address bar.
If you write home.htm?id=1 in the address bar and it works, the same must work with getURL. Don't replace the "?" with %3F, because it will be parsed by the bowser as part of the name of the file, not the actual question mark to pass parameters.
I suppose your flash movie is in an html too. If not, it wil not work because of security issues that flash has.
