hi, i’m trying to create a search box in as2, and the only thing i haven’t yet managed to do is create a var from the value of a text box, now i’m not to farmiliar with creating vars from object values, i’ve managed to get the url working,

var entireURL = “http://site.com/search/?s=” + _root.item();

on(press) {getURL(_root.entireURL);}

now i’m getting to the url, http://site.com/search/?s=undefined

how do i obtain the input text from a textbox using values and what-not,

i’ve tried lots, i need the exact code for the var item… and what i need to do to the textbox (probably just values), it would also be nice if you could test it first, try changing a text value to test.

I’ve also tried

var item:text = [label]

but it doesn’t seem to work

Help pleeeease…
