There's on other thing to consider, where is the input box? if it's inside a
movie clip, then you should specify the flash path to it.
_root.someClip.search.text
if it's right under root, then try using
_root.search.text
If nothing works you may want to send me the .fla file so I can take a look
at it and see what the flash hierarchy looks like.
