Ok this is my setup. I have an input text box with a submit button and I have an external file with a bunch of usernames and links in this format:

username1 - [http://google.com/1.html](http://google.com/1.html)  
username2 - [http://google.com/2.html](http://google.com/2.html)  
username3 - [http://google.com/3.html](http://google.com/3.html)

When a user enters his/her username and clicks submit, I want his/her specific link to be displayed on the flash page. How do I do this?
