Maybe a stupid thing to ask, but I have a flash form on a website that I’d like users to put their info in, and upon pressing the submit button, it’d insert the contents of the text fields into the url.

like this:

on(release){  
getURL(“[http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=](http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=)”+**[color=DarkOrange]1s[/color]**);  
}

Where “1s” is the variable…but for some reason, flash keeps saying it wont work.  
Ive got flash 2k4 pro, so I dont see what the problem is, i used to do this.

Thanks
