Can't get Actionscript variable

[Kekasih]

I have an swf (one frame only) with a text input box which has the contents assigned to a variable named "phrases".
I have used the following actionscript to link to a ffish script called "savePhrases", to try and save the variable to a file.

newBtn.onRelease =function(){fscommand ("ffish_run","savePhrases");}

The ffish script is as follows:

//savePhrases
var hp=FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.phrases");
var filter = "Phrases(*.txt)|*.txt|";
var filename = Dialogs.fileSave(filter, ".txt");
if (filename)
{
file_stream = new FileStream(filename,"w");
trace(file_stream);
file_stream.write(hp+"xxxxx");

file_stream.close();

}//end of if(filename)
return true;

The button works fine and will open the save dialogue. It will save to file the "xxxxx" (put there as a test) but will do nothing with the variable. There are no error messages, so it seems the variable is recognised but its contents are not used.
What am I doing wrong??

Success.
I think the problem was in where I placed the fscommand. I had it as its own function instead of putting it into the onRelease function of the save button.
Anyway it works now as good as gold.
Great prog.
