Actionscript 3.0 Input text problem

[phfilly]

Hi!

I'm still new to Actionscript 3.0 and was wondering if you could help me please. I'm trying to do a registration form in flash. The user entering his name/email/password and I want to save that value to a variable and return that. The error says that my return type is not valide. What should I use other than 'String' prob just something small I missed.

function RegisterFunction():return String
{
    var RegisterNameVar:TextField = new TextField;//creating the variable to save the name is this correct?

    addChild(RegisterNameVar);

    RegisterNameVar = RegisterName.text;//equals to the name inserted in the input field

    return RegisterNameVar;
}

Register.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RegisterUser);

function RegisterUser(event:MouseEvent):void
{   
    testOutput.text = RegisterFunction();//testing if it received the name correctly
}
