loadVariables syntax error?

I cannot seem to find the syntax error that Flash's debugger is complaining about.

**Error** Symbol=menu, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 18: ')' or ',' expected
         loadVariables("GetDetails.asp?Record=" add String(CurrentRecord), this)

Total ActionScript Errors: 1        Reported Errors: 1

The loadVariables statement worked fine in Flash 7 - soon as I converted to 8 this error surfaced. Any help is appreciated.

**Error** Symbol=menu, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 18: ')' or ',' expected
         loadVariables("GetDetails.asp?Record=", add String(CurrentRecord), this)

the "add" operator is now deprecated. to add two strings use the "+" operator. in your case:
loadVariables("GetDetails.asp?Record=" + String(CurrentRecord), this)

loadVariables("GetDetails.asp?Record=" + String(CurrentRecord), this);

For string concatenation, Flash MX still supports "add". But Flash 8 no longer does, use "+".

However, that error sounds more like you for got to close a ")" on a previous line.

Check whatever has "( )", just before the loadVariables(). Either an "if" statement, function call, or function header. And just make sure all the parentheses are closed.
