hi all, sorry if this is really simple! i have looked through the forums and tuts but cant find anything related to this problem…  
how do i append text to the end of a url? example: [http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=m0nk3y%20spank3r](http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=m0nk3y%20spank3r)  
i need to be able to change the gamertag (the bit after the ‘=’ sign) dynamicaly.  
is this possible in flash without the use of php or javascript? each gamer tag is already asigned to a variable because im calling some other statistics for each one from xml data. i was hoping i could do something like:  
getURL(“[http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=\<variable\>](http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=%3Cvariable%3E)”) but it doesn’t work. i looked at post and get but i dont actually want to send variables to the website, i just need to change the address. please help,  
thanks in advance
