Basically I would like to display what my server side script sends back after I submit my form. The results need to be displayed in my scroller box. I started to write it out but I am stuck. Any help would REALLY be appreciated. 🙂

[AS]//variables being sent to server  
//txtZip (input text) and cboDist (comboBox Component) are the variables  
formData = new LoadVars();  
formData.txtZip = “”;  
formData.cboDist = cboDist.getValue();

//object for replyData  
//Hopefully after this form is submitted, the server sends it’s repsonse to ‘replyData’  
//If successfully loaded, the output in displayed in my scroller boxed aptly names 'scroller  
replyData.onLoad = function() {  
if (success) {  
trace(“done loading”);  
scroller.html = true;  
scroller.htmlText = this.textfield;  
} else {  
trace(“not loaded”);  
}  
}

//function for submit button  
onSubmit = function() {  
formData.sendAndLoad(“[http://www.bcbg.com/zipcodesearchF.php](http://www.bcbg.com/zipcodesearchF.php)”, replyData, “POST”);  
}[/AS]

Try this:  
formData.onLoad = function() { //changed it to formData instead of replyData  
if (success) {  
trace(“done loading”);  
scroller.html = true;  
scroller.htmlText = replyData.textfield;//changed to where the variables are sent  
} else {  
trace(“not loaded”);  
}  
}

if this works, it may be that all your variables were being sent, but that you weren’t getting them from the right place.

let me know if it doesn’t work…
