ok, if you have the event handler directly on the button then it's a little
different.
the way I use it was for actionscript written on the timeline frames... (but
onClick was a mistake, it's javascript. Sorry, there is so much languages in
that head that sometimes I mixed them all)
Anyway since the script is directly attached to the button, it should be
something like that:
on(release){
getURL('http://catalog.playersmusic.com/catalog/search.php?q='+search.text,
'_self');
}
_self need to quoted, '_self'
And for the GET thing. In this case, this is that part '?q='+search.text'
that says it's a GET. Get is a method that passes parameters throught the
URL. HTTP GET in fact is what the browser use to request any web page. It
make a GET request for /index.html at a server and the server 'serves' the
page to the browser. But what is after a question mark ? in a url is
considered as parameters for a script. So all you have to make a get request
is passing the parameters in the url. It's the same in flash.
