I have a search field in flash, it has a text box with a variable name. When the user clicks the search button, I need to send whatever is in that text field to  
something called ‘search.cfm’ . I am unfamiliar with any sort of backend coding, but I am hoping this is a fairly basic thing to do.

Wondering if someone can help me with the syntax on how I could achieve this.

Thanks.
