Hello,

What I basically want to know is how to link input fields from your flash file to the input fields of google maps (to determne the route)…This is already done at [this](http://www.brussels-lof.nl/indexflash.html)website, and i’m wondering if anyone can tell me how this works.

thanks in advance

jupz I saw that as well, but is this the only way, because I dont understand much of this, and it I dont think I want to put in that many efford to try and understand it…mainly because I dont have the time.

The code that the site that i was referring to uses is the following:

```auto
verzendknop.onRelease = function ()
{
    var _loc1 = "";
    if (weergaven_satelliet.value == true)
    {
        _loc1 = "k";
    }
    else if (weergaven_combinatie.value == true)
    {
        _loc1 = "h";
    } // end else if
    getURL("http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=d&hl=nl&daddr=koningsplein+16,+Ridderkerk&saddr=" + adres.text + "+" + huisnummer.text + ",+" + plaats.text + "&ie=UTF8&z=10&om=1&t=" + _loc1 + "", "_blank");
};

```

The following part refers to the satelite or card navigation that I dont really need:

> ```
> var _loc1 = "";
> 
> ```

```
if (weergaven_satelliet.value == true)
{
    _loc1 = "k";
}
else if (weergaven_combinatie.value == true)
{
    _loc1 = "h";
} // end else if

```

but after the end if comes the interesting part. However I cant seem to duplicate it. I made three inpu text fields with the instance names as written in the code, however google maps still does not recieve the input…Also this part of the code I dont understand: + “&ie=UTF8&z=10&om=1&t=” …can anybody assist me?
