I’m having some trouble with getURL (I think). It works fine when I preview with Flash’s html preview but it’s not working on my server. It’s pretty simple. [http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/ is my main page and the +\_root.gen\_sel.selected1 is a user-defined and the +\_root.gen\_sel.selected1 is a user-defined variable pointing to a page: ie, when the user selects variable page1 the page to be opened is [url=“http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/page1”]http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/page1](http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/). Like I said, it works with Flash’s preview, but not on my server(no 404 or any response). Does there seem to be a problem with my code or might I be overlooking a server error?

Here’s my code:

USER SELECTS::  
on(release){  
\_root.gen\_sel.selected1 = page1;  
}

USER EXECUTES::  
on(release){  
if (\_root.gen\_sel.selected1 !== “”){  
getURL("\<A href=“[http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/"+\_root.gen\_sel.selected1"](http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/%22+_root.gen_sel.selected1%22)\>[http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/](http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/docs/tcr1/)”+\_root.gen\_sel.selected1, “\_blank”)  
}  
}
