changing get url field with cgi/perl

[NBEAST]

I need to put a merge field in the url...any ideas on how do I get it to work?

example: http://myself.com/<<username>> where the username is merged in from the cgi scripts.

You can set an URL in Flash to be an Expression (box with abc to the right of URL box). You can then use the following,

"http://myself.com/"&username

The qouted section will be taken literally with the & joining the value of the variable name.

Or you could Set a variable to equal the above example (after you have loaded varaibles) and then simply refer to that variable as the URL for the rest of their session.

It is handy to make URL's in flash movies that occur in many places variables because then it only takes one change to affect all.

So will it only work for variables inside of flash movies? Will it pull the information out and send it to the .pl files? I'll give this a try and see if i can get it to work.
