I am trying to set up a flash where people type in their screen name and that becomes part of an address they are then directed to: (i.e. [www.domain.com/screen](http://www.domain.com/screen) name)

The screen name would function like a directory. So far, I can have it throw back the [www.domain.com part, but it stops there and doesn’t add on the screen name. I have tried several things including assigning [url=“http://www.domain.com”]www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) to a variable and just trying to add a variable for the screen name to it. Anyone have any ideas how to achieve this?

</div>

\<a href="http://("[http://members.aol.com/"+name)"](http://members.aol.com/%22+name)%22)\>(“[http://members.aol.com/](http://members.aol.com/)”+name)\</a\>

That is what happens when I tried it. Actually what I am looking for is 3 parts.

I want to have:

[url=“http://”] + name + [domain.com](http://domain.com)  
[name.domain.com](http://name.domain.com)

from what you gave I assume it would be

getURL("\<a href=“http://”"\>"\</a\> + screenName + “.domain.com”)

…god this is frustrating lol
