Input Text

[GeoDM]

I have an Input Text box and a button. I want a user to type in the input text box and be able to use it when the button is clicked. Here is the ActionScript I have attached to the button. What gives?

on(click){
var search:String = searchTXT.text; //input text box
var link:String = "

http://www.mysite.com?q=";

//the site
var url:String = link + search; // The site + the input text box

getURL(url, "_blank", "GET");
}

2.0 in flash 8. Just want to click on the button, concatenate a search string with what’s typed in the box, and go find it.

are you getting any errors or such like?

have you tried:

trace(url);

within the handler to see if the url is constructed properly?

Usually in AS2 I do my events this way:

btnName.onPress = function(){
    var search:String = searchTXT.text; //input text box
    var link:String = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com?q=";[/URL] //the site
    var url:String = link + search; // The site + the input text box

    trace(url);
    
    getURL(url, "_blank", "GET");
}
