How can I create a textbox that user can input it with number,then with a check button,it will trace ("user input")?

Thanks.

Code:

import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;


var txt:TextField = new TextField();
txt.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial",12,0x000000);
txt.border = true;
txt.borderColor = 0xBBBBBB;
txt.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
txt.background = true;
txt.backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
txt.width = 200;
txt.height = 25;
addChild(txt);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, traceText);

function traceText(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
  trace(txt.text);
}

What if I want :

user input "241" on the textinputfield,then after press btn,external file "241.txt" can be loaded into a new textfield?

So when I have hundred texts,I won't get confused.

Thanks for your help.

I want to do something similar, but don't need any external files.
User inputs some text & presses a btn, that text gets passed to a different text field.

Thanks, I'm scratching my head on this one...
