Well I guess I can just check the original url String and the string
value returned after replacing with the regular expression - if
they're the same, then don't pass the potentially modified url to the
URLVariables constructor....
Seems a bit messy though...is there some other way to determine if
the url has parameters?
var url:String = this.loaderInfo.url;
var pattern:RegExp = /.*\?/;
var urlStr:String = (url).replace(pattern, "");
if(url != urlStr){
var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(urlStr);
}
