Hi, if you can help me on this please do so

Ok, to start off, here is what I need to do (I am a flash newbie). I have this URL:

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=e...ot;MY_URL"

What I need to do, is create a input text box in my flash document, that when someone enteres for example "www.myspace.com" and clicks GO, it will put "www.myspace.com" where it says "MY_URL" (above). So the full URL would they would be taken to would be:

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=e...www.myspace.com

I need this not only for myspace, but for any site they enter, maybe "www.friendster.com",or any site.

The purpose of this is to try and bypass my school blocking proxy, and I think my idea should work

Please help me asap, thanks!
Matt.

make a movieclip (to use as a button).

Make it whatever shape/size you like.

Inside the movieclip, make a new layer and name it actions. In the first frame of the layer put the code:

this.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u="+_parent.url_input.text, "_blank");
}

That should work...give it a try. The button movielcip will have to be on the same timeline as the text field for that code to work.

It works GREAT!!!

Thanksyou all so much.

If you would like to view my new website with the fresh coded flash please visit:

www.scienceprofile.vze.com

It's a games website designed to be played at schools, where the word "games" is banned in the URL so i figured why not make a site on science . Enjoy! (click my ADS if you are interested, help support me!)

Matt.
