Hello folks. Just short of a full 8 hour day has been spent trying to figure out how to ge this stuff to work. I can programm PHP, JAVA, and Perl all day long, but, for some reason I can't seem to get a simple text bar with a button to submit data anywhere. I tried to send a search to google to test the transmission of data; before I program PHP to handle the form data I wanted to make sure that the information is getting there first.

I am going to have several forms to submit, thankfully this is the only one in my flash header. BTW I did not make this flash template I am editing it. Go figure I can make my way around flash changing literally everything about it with no problems at all. But, to make a search for work is making me bald.

While in flash 8, Using the built in "test Movie" ctrl+enter >The template designer pre-configured the button that submits the input line with 2 on() functions to handle the image rollovers. I simply added another one.

on (release, keypress "<Enter>") {
getURL (http://www.google.com/search, "_SELF", "GET");
}

So, the result is the google main page opening in a new window that does not search for anything. Ive set the var / instance name and combinations of the 2 to ' q ' (without quotes of course) for the input box.

I thought maybe because I was testing it in flash rather than publishing, I was not getting the appropriate results. So, I published the header, loaded it in its webpage and tried again. The funny part about that is that now it wont do anything. Ive seen in a few threads here and there of people actually creating html based <form> fields; right! how do you do that in flash? But, the rest of the information I have been gathering is using active script to send the data to PHP. Once I get the data transfering to PHP scripts I am golden.

I sure hate to have to pay someone to fix this, after coming so far, so I resort to asking the pro's of flashmove to get some genuine help. Any thoughts, Anything I can send you to help make more sense of it, letme know.

Thanks in advanced.
