Hello all,

I am trying to convert this form into flash.

```auto
<form action="http://www.myserver.com/add.tag" method="post" name="tagform" target="tag"> 
              <input name="name" value="myname" type="hidden"> 
              Name<br> 
              <input name="tagname" maxlength="20"><br> 
              URL<br> 
              <input name="tagurl" maxlength="100"><br> 
              <br> 
              <textarea cols="24" rows="3" name="message" wrap=""></textarea>
              <br> 
              <input class="button" value="TAG" onclick="clearForm();" type="submit">
</form

```

This is the actionscript I came up with, I had 4 input text boxes and a button to submit.

```auto

submit.onRelease = function(){
	var postData = new LoadVars();
	var dataStr = ("name="+nameTxt.text+"&tagname="+tagnameTxt.text
				 +"&tagurl="+tagurlTxt.text+"&message="+messageTxt.text);
	trace(dataStr);
	postData.decode(dataStr);
	postData.send("http://www.tag-board.com/add.tag",0,"post");
}

```

The server however did not respond as I wanted. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
