Variable/getURL help 1

[frozenpeas]

I want a client to be taken to their protected area when they enter their username on my site. I am getting some wacky results.

This produces: 1.#QNAN

on (release, keyPress &quot;<Enter>&quot;) {
    user = userName;
    trace (&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.com/protected/&quot;+&quot;user&quot;);[/URL]
}

This produces: 0

on (release, keyPress &quot;<Enter>&quot;) {
    user = userName;
    trace (&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.com/protected/&quot;+user);[/URL]
}

The field is properly defined and referenced. I have tried a bunch of ways, but it seems to me that this second example should work.

Maybe not?

Have you tried

"

http://www.domain.com/protected/"

add user

instead of +user.

add is used to combine strings. + is used to sum numerics. eSearing.com
a work in progress

I tried that right after I posted and it works now. I should have posted a follow.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry but add is deprecated in Flash 5.

You can use + to concatenate strings.

Try this (if you feel like it)

on (release, keyPress &quot;<Enter>&quot {
user = userName;
trace (&quot;

http://www.domain.com/protected/&quot;+

_level0/:user);
}

It should work...

Hope it'll help ;-)
Have Fun...
