    Okay, so I have a 728x90 flash banner that captures a users zip code input and passes it along with a URL. The method I'm using is:

    On the release button I have:

    on(release){
    if(zip.length < 5 || zip == "")
    {alert="Please enter 5 digit Zip";
    }else{getURL(link + zip);}
    }

    ...and I have a separate action which states:

    link = myurl.com/etc/etc

    ... and the zip code entry field is named "zip".

    This method already works great. The issue I have now, is that I need to set this up to work properly with an ad tracking service where (according to Macromedia) you use this type of function:

    on (release) {
    if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == "http:") {
    getURL(clickTAG);
    }
    }

    My question is, is the proper solution to this to simply replace "link" with "clickTAG" in my getURL string, as in:

    }else{getURL(clickTAG + zip);}

    ...or can I keep the "link" part in there and change my separate action to:

    link = "clickTAG"

    This has got me a bit confused.
