flash/ASP problem

[yorks]

Hi all

These are probably very simple problems to solve for most of the folks on here but I am a humble beginner :) The messenger system I am trying to tailor is the EZ Text Messenger from Semtech interactive

we have a instant chat system written in Flash/ASP. The user lists shows the names of all the user logged onto the messeneger (obviously). The user list is displayed using a flash dropdown box.

I am wanting to do 2 things

1. In the instant messenger user list I want to place a small icon next to each name which can be clicked on to view a webpage containing that persons profile. We have the user name so all I would have to do is tag this onto the end of the URL ie.

http://www.mysite.com/yorks

The code line that 'builds' the user name list is as follows


response.write "Name" & count & "=" & application("" & anewid & "") & application("" & astatusid & "") & "&DataRow" & count & "=" & application("" & aboxid & "") & "&Go=Yes&"

This will build the array containing the usernames in the following format

etc etc

The code in the flash movie that displays the user list is as follows

function AddItems() {
dropdown.removeAll();
for (i=0; i<NumItems; i++) {
var Name = eval("Name"+i);
var DataRow = eval("DataRow"+i);
dropDown.addItem(Name, DataRow);
}





2. Secondly I need to be able to click on certain usernames to inital a chat window depending on the membership status of that user. The code that initiates the chat window is as follows

function SelectItem(){

URLName = dropDown.getSelectedItem().label;
URL = dropDown.getSelectedItem().data;
URL2 = myid;
getURL("javascript:launchwin(" + URL + " , 'newwindow' , 'height=310,width=375' , " + URL2 + ")");
gotoAndPlay(11);


Hope i have provided enough info here

thanks in advance
