navigateToURL bug? error?

programming flash
1

Hello,

I have following code:

function mouseU(m:MouseEvent)
{
	if (m.target.text)
	{
		var target:String = m.target.text.toLowerCase();
		for (var i:uint; i<buttons.length; i++)
		{
			if (target == buttons*)
			{

				var url:String = "index.php?id=" + target;
				
				var uReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
				
				try
				{
					navigateToURL(uReq, '_top');// second argument is target
				}
				catch (e:Error)
				{
					trace("Error occurred!");
				}
				
				break;
			}
		}
	}

}

As you can see the string used with the “navigateToURL” function should reslove as “index.php?=home” for instance,… however in a browser it appears as:

“http://index.php/?id=home”

As you can see, somewhere along the line a forward slash has been added. Why is this happening?
