Pointing to a scene depending on URL (AS 2.0)

Hey guys,

I’m a recent browser of your forums, having recently been given the task of getting across basic flash development for my team.

I’ve developed a quick video player that pre-loads, auto-plays and then finishes with a frame at the end that allows the user to play the video again, but a recent discovery is that the video reloads as a user browses through a few fields on the site (represent via string at the end of the URL).

What I’d like is that if you arive at index.aspx it starts the video at the preloader, but if you then move onto index.aspx?ID=1234 it goes straight to the scene with the replay function.

The AS I’m using at the moment in the first scene is:

if (_url == “http://www.mydomain.com/index.aspx”) {
gotoAndPlay(“Preloader”, 1)
} else {
gotoAndPlay(“Replay”, 1)
}

but I’m getting nothing from it.

What am I missing, or have I gone about this entirely the wrong way?

Cheers for any help you can give.
