navigateToURL() encoding issues

Hey all,

Has anyone run into a problem using flash.net.navigateToURL() and relative links on an https server? apparently our server is running IIS 6 and when I put a link such as “page1/about” into the navigateToURL function i get a Server Error saying access is denied because the URL is encoded like such:

https://somesite.com/Admin?ReturnUrl=%2page1�out

This occurs only using Internet Explorer.

any insight in how to fix this besides using absolute URLs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
