[edmerckx99]

i have been struggeling with this for a bit.
this works great

Code: Select all

get url "myurl/folder/folder/text.txt"

but if i try and create a url from a variable it does not work

Code: Select all

local tURL
put "myurl/folder/folder/" & fld "Variable" & ".txt" into tURL

Hi Ed,

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put "http://www.major-k.de/" & fld "Variable" & ".html" into tURL
  get url tURL
  put it into fld "test"
end mouseUp

I put "index" into fld "variable".

Hi Ed,

sometimes the Simulator is behaving a bit strange, but then it mostly works on a real device.
Did you check this on an iPhone?
