Need help setting the text value for this string

[DonAlmighty]

Hi I am trying to send a search query and I have everything working except, when I create a search it says undefined when the search results. What am I missing in this code?

        
        _container.txt_input.input_txt.onSetFocus =  function(newFocus:Object)
        {
            if(this.text == 'TYPE YOUR QUESTION HERE????.' )
            {
                this.textColor = 0x000000;
                this.text = '';
            }
        }


    
        _container.btn_getAnswers.onRollOver = function ()
        {
            TweenMax.to(this.grad, .35, {_alpha:0});
        }
        
        
        _container.btn_getAnswers.onRelease= _container.btn_getAnswers.onRelease = function ()
        {
            TweenMax.to(this.grad, .5, {_alpha:100 });
            getURL("http://search.bmwusa.com/?q=" + escape (_container.txt_input.input_txt), "_blank");
        }
    } 

the input text has an instance name of input_txt


can anyone help me?

What do you get if you try this...

getURL("http://search.bmwusa.com/?q=" + escape (_container.txt_input.input_txt.text), "_blank");

instance name of input_txt

you need -

escape (_container.txt_input.input_txt.text)
