Flash Local URL Variable Passing Problems

[PCSAARON]

I have a flash module that needs to work locally for demo purposes that is passing variables to an html file that javascript will use to parse the variables.

I am running into a problem where the getURL does not pass the variables to the local html file.

Ex:
getURL(_root.LargeImagesLink + "?image=" + "ImageName", "_blank");

It works great online, however, locally, it opens the html pages specified in the _root.LargeImagesLink variable, but does not pass the "?image=ImageName" part of the string into the file.

Does anyone know of any way around this? I saw a few issues with the flash 6 player but passing from local flash to local flash. DOes anyone know what the problem may be? Thanks in advance.

With a little more testing, I found that I had to URL encode the "?" and the "=". That did the trick and is now working fine for local files. If anyone has any comments to share about this, please do. Thanks.
