Hey all, all I want to do is add a variable to a getURL line of [code](http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/WebDevSoftware/Flash/Q_21884165.html#).

EG:  
getURL("/index.asp", “\_self”);

I need to add a variable (\_root.myvariable) to the end of the link so that it goes to:  
index.asp?myvar=thevalueofmyvariable

Just not sure on the correct way to code it.

Any hlep would be great.
