Flash doesn’t seem to update the info in the text boxes after a button press:

submitBtn.onRelease = function(){  
if ((userName != “”) && (userEmail != “”)){  
gotoAndStop(“end”);  
} else {  
trace(“it’s broken”);  
}  
}

Am I missing an update or something, the form is static on one page. you press a button and it submits the details. or not if the box is empty.

Any ideas?
