[MX04] Input Text Field not working with script...

I have a search script that I've set up that seems to be working great so far: only from the HTML form. Here it is in action:

http://www.cramcrew.com/search/search.asp

However, I can't get that text box in the header (which is in flash) to work the same way. I don't know how to take the code from the asp file and make it happen in flash. Here is what is in the asp file:

<form action="search.asp" method="get" onsubmit="return isSearchTermValid( this );">
<input type="text" name="searchTerm" size="25" maxlength="35" value="<%=gobj_searchTerm.outputSafeTerm%>">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search">
</form>



Well, seeing as how I don't really know how to make all of that work in flash, all I have so far in flash is this:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
getURL("http://www.cramcrew.com/search/search.asp", "GET");
}


I've tried setting the Var for the input text box to say "searchTerm" and another time "<%=gobj_searchTerm.outputSafeTerm%>" but neither worked. I am at a loss... what am I supposed to do? Thanks!

Hi JW,

You need to use LoadVars. Here's a small example:

var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.searchTerm = textboxName.text;
my_lv.send("http://www.cramcrew.com/search/search.asp", "_self", "GET");


//replace 'textBoxName' with your text box name for search
