Hey,  
I have to put a link together that if clicked goes to a specific url.  
however after in a live enviorment it breaks.  
Where clickTAg gathers the beginning url outside via javascript:  
for example  
[http://www.school.edu/?s=123456](http://www.school.edu/?s=123456)  
I ahve it so the year gets calculated live, but i also tried it for test purposes to just declare the year in a quick varibale, neither seems to matter or have an impact.  
I tried & and %26 but it dosent matter.  
I have tried various things looks below

on (release) {  
if (y==1) {  
link=\_root.clickTAG;  
trace (link);  
getURL(link,"\_blank");  
}  
else if (y==2) {  
var year = 1997;  
var link=\_root.clickTAG + “&gradyear=” + container.optionlist.year1;  
trace (link);  
getURL(link,"\_blank");  
}  
else if (y==3) {  
var year = 1987;  
var link=\_root.clickTAG+"%26gradyear="+container.optio nlist.year2;  
trace (link);  
getURL(link,"\_blank");  
}  
else if (y==4) {  
var year = 1977;  
var link=clickTAG+"&gradyear="+year;  
trace (link);  
getURL(link,"\_blank");  
}  
else if (y==5) {  
var year = 1967;  
var link=clickTAG+"%26gradyear="+year;  
trace (link);  
getURL(link,"\_blank");  
}  
else if (y==6) {  
var year = 1957;  
var link=clickTAG+“gradyear=”+container.optionlist.yea r5;  
getURL(link,"\_blank");  
}

when i test this locally it works fine;  
however as i said in a live enviorment it only gives me the link it gathers from the outside: and dosent add what else i have declared in the variable.

please help!  
i have been working on this for 3 days, im about to break the keyboard lol

best,
