Hey all,

I’m trying to setup a dropbox that contains a series of site names… when a user clicks a site name, the browser opens up and flash passes the full url (data) associated with that site name(label) to the browser. Here is what I have so far and it doesn’t work…

```auto
 
function launchSite(c){
 getURL("[http://"+c.target.data](http://%22+c.target.data/), "_blank");
 trace("Value changed to " + c.target.data);
}
dropbox1.addEventListener("change", launchSite);

```

any ideas?
