What am i missing here?

[TacticalReaper]

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();


function postdata(event:MouseEvent):void {
request.data=txt1.text;
request.url="process.php";
request.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;

trace(txt1.text);
}


trace result shows what ever you type in the text field but the data never goes through php any ideas??
