ok, so I am trying to make it possible for when a user is done typing in a textbox for them to be able to just press enter and have a series of actions run and then they are taken to the next page or something…

so heres what ive got.

these actions are on my button.

on(keyPress “\<ENTER\>”){  
trace(“got it”);  
domainN = domain\_name.text;  
if(domainN.indexOf(“www.”) \> -1){  
domainN = domainN.slice(4);  
}  
li = domainN.indexOf(".");  
if(li \> -1){  
domainN = domainN.slice(0, li);  
}  
\_global.processDomain(domainN, this.tld.text);  
}  
on(release){  
domainN = domain\_name.text;  
if(domainN.indexOf(“www.”) \> -1){  
domainN = domainN.slice(4);  
}  
li = domainN.indexOf(".");  
if(li \> -1){  
domainN = domainN.slice(0, li);  
}  
\_global.processDomain(domainN, this.tld.text);  
}

however, this is not working…i have also tried to to disable the shortcut keys in flash…no luck…any help would be much appreciated…

blessings
