Hi,

I have a textbox and a button in flash. I send data to java server by entering data into the textbox. Firsttime the number of characters i am receiving are correct, from the second time onwards there is an extra character. i.e if i type 1 character it is showing 2. Can someone tell me how do i remove it.

below is the code,

function msgGO() {  
if (inputMsg.htmlText != “”) {  
mySocket.send(inputMsg.htmlText+"  
");  
inputMsg.htmlText = “”;  
}  
}

pushMsg.onRelease = function() {  
msgGO();  
};

Thanks
