Post Variable to an ASP Page

[DazedDan]

I am trying to get a variable (a keyword search) passed from Flash to an ASP
page. The getURL part works fine but it is not passing the vaiable.

I have an Input Text fiels and a submit button in a movie clip in a main
flash file. I have assigned the button a GetURL action as bellow:

on (press){
getURL("http://www.my_url.net/search_results.asp?category=0&keyword="+
mykey, "", "POST")
}

The Input Text box is named mykey and has no actions assigned to it.

I have tried pulling a variable from the Input text box by adding the
following to the submit button actions:

var mykey = formData.mykey(getdata)

And I have tried every other method I could find in tutorials and help
files. I think the problem is that they dont tell you where to assign the
actions.

What gets assigned to the input Text box?

What gets assigned to the button?

Does anything get assigned to the frame?

Any help will be much aprecieated.
