View 1 RepliesI have a XML file which I am trying to integrate a search feature. I have attached a zipped folder of my working example.In this XML file is a collection of modules: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc...
Each module is broken down further:
1.1has: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3
1.2has: 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 etc...
I have a search feature that is searching the XML, then outputting the content if found.Now this is working OK for a specific module listed above, for example, in my zipped example, I can get it to search 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 etc...
What I can�t seem to get working is how to search all of the modules sections: eg: 1.1: 1.1.1-1.1.x, 1.2: 1.2.1 � 1.2.x and so on depending on how much content is sorted in my XML.
how to output the error messages I'm seeing in my output screen in the IDE to a text area, so I can see if such errors are occurring in production What I found is that the forum search feature is not working at all. I received no results for the words "error", "movie", "flash" and "text", items which are obviously ones which should return SOME results.I couldn't find any way to contact Adobe about this, so I am hoping someone who works for Adobe and watches the forums will pass this along.

Could you please lead me to some tutorials on similiar feature that is displayed on this website.URL...a big bilboard type of thing,which shows a large image coming in from the right...but also smaller images on the right hand side that are moving up.
View 9 RepliesFor some reason, in the past few days, the auto complete feature doesn't work well when I'm creating a new class file. I'm trying to write a new class which uses away3D, and even though the auto-complete works well when I start a new AS3 file, it just doesn't work as far as away3D is concerned when I try to create a new AS3 Class file. Other features of the auto-complete don't work as well, for some reason.
View 1 Repliesmy virtual keyboard is up and running. I am on the last leg of this project and what I need is, I am assuming complicated. Senario... the user types the department, suite number, or name of a particular person, the typing ends up in an input text field, with an instance name of "dirsearch". then the user clicks the button "Enter" and in theory the input text field, searches a file, and retrieves information which will be displayed above the keyboard. Most likey a bio sheet of what ever the user typed. But I need it to be flexable on the spelling of what the user typed into the input text field.
View 0 RepliesMy starting point here is Kirupa's wonderful tutorial on how to integrate an Atomz search with your flash site:I'm interested in doing the same thing, only with Google (referncing an AdSense account to run a SiteSearch). A quick search online brings up a lot of very technical looking material involving the Google API, which is frankly beyond my abilities at the moment. Does anyone have any tips for how the original tutorial could be modified for GoogleMy reasons for wanting to use Google instead of Atomz: 1) no 'competitive ad filter', so my vistors are potentially being redirected to the competition every time they run a search and 2) AdSense pays.
View 10 RepliesI have this long list of video files(some 500 of them) to be linked to my flash interface. I am looking at the option of creating a search engine such as that when the user key in some keywords, it will search thru my list of video files and bring up the appropriate files. (results will show names of files first then user can choose to click on those that they want to view)

View 1 Replieswhat i would like to do is create a search field that as the user types in the search bar if there are any matching entries in the list, the focus/selection jumps to that particular item in list. i don't want to clear the list just go to the item that matches.i would like it to be predictive so if i have these entries:and the user types "s" in the search box to the first "s" entry in the list (samson) is selected, if they type "se" the selection jumps to the first entry with "se" in it (seek) if they type "seet" the selection jumps to "seether" and so on.i have absolutely no idea how to do it, but more importantly...is this possible?

View 6 RepliesI'm new to action script, I've only used the script wizard so far. What I want to do if it's even possible is create a 3 drop boxes with dates to search for and either pull up or open in a dynamic text field the result .txt file, kind of like this:
(drop boxes)
Year:2010 Month:January Day:27
(Results)
2010_january_27.txt
I am creating daily reports for a donation program for donations given daily to go to us soldiers over sea's and I want the public to be able to pull up the date they want to look at and see what was donated on that date threw a .txt file that will be created daily and stored on the website/host _local folder.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a search box that searches an XML document and returns the results. So far I know how to do a search that returns exact matches but I want to make it so if someone typed in say "Manager" it would return results that Also had "Sales Manager" or "Account Manager".
Currently I have
PHP Code:
var authorList:XMLList = xmlData.job.(title == citySearch.text);
Which only works with exact results. What is the best way to get around this? Do I just need to bring in everything from the XML file and then compare it using .search()?
So I have this database that's filled with data, but I would like to use Flash as an interface.
So I've got a couple questions, first of all, is it possible to create a text box that when the submit button is pressed, goes to another frame "results" that displays the results, each preferably a link to yet another slide "info" that displays the full entry info?
I already know all the PHP for this, just wondering how to integrate it with flash, and show the results and entries inside flash.
I'm creating a "Tea/Benefits Chart" that allows the user to search for a type of tea and find out what problems it can cure, or search for a problem and find out what types of tea assist with it. For this I've created 2 arrays - arrTea and arrBenefits - to store a list of the possible types of tea and benefits a user can find.
Code:
PHP Code:
var arrTea:Array = Array("lemongrass", "chamomile");var arrBenefits:Array = Array("anxiety", "cramps", "indigestion", "PMS");
For example, if the user searched for "chamomile" the Chart might return "anxiety" and "indigestion". If they searched for "cramps" the Chart returns "lemongrass".
I've just tried senocular's xml tutorials. [URL] The search query seems case sensitive. How to make it accept upper and lower case characters. Actually i'm trying to make a search by myself by using the same code.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a search field in AS3 to search keywords in a dynamic text field of the same flash movie, where the text is loaded from an XML file.
View 1 RepliesI've started a project a while ago, so far it is almost done but there is something that I seem not to be able to do alone... I would like to add a search function which I don't know how to do.It will not be a normal search function so I am going to try to beak it down with an easy example:
Let's say I did a project that is embeded somewhere in a normal html page with a main menu from where you can get to different city maps (e.g. New York, Paris, Berlin). The maps are seperate swfs. On all those maps there are several buttons for historical sites (or whatever) with a mousover function and a link to a page with more information about that specific site (on html).the names of the buttons are always a letter and a number (New York: "N1","N2","N3"...; Paris: "P1","P2","P2"... instance name for P1 is p1_btn)
What I need now is a search field in the main menu where you can search for those buttons. Meaning if I type in "N2" and hit search it will take me to the New York swf and show me button "N2".
I know this might not make much sense like this but the actual version is quite different and more complicated context-wise. Therefore if possible I would like to leave it that way with the main menu, the linked swfs and the buttons.
I've got a catalog of events in XML that is read into my Flash swf. I'm trying to develop a search box that will search through the titles, descriptions, presenters, etc. and return a list of related events.
Does anybody know a prebuilt AS2 system that does this? Or a good tutorial on how to go about this? I have googled, but haven't found much.
Here is my approach so far. When I load in the XML I create an array of the frequency of all the words in the nodes that I'm interested in. I figured it would be useful to do this once instead of each time a search is performed. I store that word index in another array with an index that will take me back to the original node. I was trying to figure out if there was someway to put it all into one index, but then I'm not sure how I'd link back to the original nodes.
When performing a search I look through the array of word indexs and check for the word and return another array of which original nodes contain the word.
If the search term isn't represented I generate all the permutations of the word that have an edit distance of 1 -- i.e. that have a letter changed, added, or deleted in any position. So for example if the search is for "the" the list of 1-edit would be ahe, bhe, ... tae, tbe,... tha, thb...athe, bthe,...tahe,tbhe, ....... he, te, th. If any of those are found it returns the results and puts up a "Did you mean xxxxx?" type of notice.
So far all of this is working rather well.
I'm still working on figuring out what to do if the user puts two words into the search box.
Also haven't figured out what to do with plurals and other "stem" type situations.
I want to make this pretty simple and easy for people to get the results they want.
Its mostly the way google is set up that makes it so easy. I just happened to notice that the url for a google search is always the same except for the search variables at the end. http:[url]....So all I did was to add a textfield to get the variable to put on the end of the URL. (And a button to press)
on(press){
getURL("http://www.google.com/search?q=" + inputText);
}[code].....
P.S. I am going to put this into a thread too in case any one else is interested.

View 2 RepliesI've got a flash movie that reads in an XML file and has an input text box. When you type something in the input box, I want to search through the XML and return the names of the elements that match whatever is currently in the input box, even if its only partially complete.The input box has an event listener of type Event.CHANGE on it and it runs the following function.
Code: Select allfunction searchWords(e:Event):void {[code].........
Long story short: I want to search a multidimensional array in AS3 for (in this example) the location of 6 strings - all of which are stored in another unrelared array. Long story long: Once I get the locations (in the multidimensional array) of each string, i then know where it's located, and can access other atributes of that object - so if i found the string "box3" is located in element [5] of my multidimensional array, i can now target: multiArray[5][3] to return the 4th item stored (keeping in mind we're starting from 0, so 3 is the 4th position).
I can get this to work once, but I'm trying to set up a for loop based on the length of my basic string storage array - this array holds (in this example) 6 instance name strings - each time my for loop loops, i need to run a search in my multdimensional array for the next consecutive instance name. Then, once I've located all of them (and store the results in a new temporary array) I can dig around in each location for the info I need.
