ActionScript 2.0 :: Search Function On Flash Site?
Jul 15, 2009
I'm trying to create a search function or find one on the web to purchase for a flash based website, and I've been trying to find some different tutorials on how to do this. I found a search program from CoffeeCup Flash Website Search that looked promising, however the big problem that I've been running into is that the website does not have an http:// address because it is running on an internal company network so it's file extension is like this:\File01MyDepartmentIndex.html so the CoffeeCup Flash Website Search can't do a search for all text found on my site. I'd like to have someone be able to search my site for text found on any of the different pages (All created with seperate swfs) and there are datagrids on most of them with xml data being loaded into them

I'm trying to create a search box in a flash website. The search box will display contain a search text entry field and a search button. When information is entered into the field and the Search button is clicked, a movie clip containing a Datagrid will display resulting the Page name (clickable) and a few lines of text in the page.
I'm building this against a WP database using Flash8 / PHP / MySQL.
I'm experienced at developing Flash / PHP / MySQL websites (not using XML) that display MySQL results so I'm not a newby in this area, however, I'm new to having Flash input information and retreive results in a DataGrid
I already have a PHP script displaying the results from a search that works and now I need to complete the Flash frontend

Is there a way to increase traffic for flash web site. Is there an action script to make your flash website "visible" for others. I heard that if I build a flash web site it will be difficult to get customers due to the fact that flash pages usually don't show up in the data bases. Is it right?
so anyhow is there a way to increase traffic or make my flash site "visible' in search engines. do you think building a splash page in html and then redirect them to flash is a good idea?

I'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 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].........

I want to be able to do site specific searches for a online group on Black Planet but they have so many restrictions on coding my only option is to use Flash. I tried some of the search box stuff on this site but they all seem to just do a web search, not site specific searches. I would like to have something that would search the group threads only. The URL to group is here if it helps: [URL]

I need some help with a flash app im currenctly programming. I have a management flash app that does some operations in a MySql databases. I have had some problems, but for the most part, I have been able to press on. I'm a flash AS3 newb, so bear that in mind.
My actual problem is that I need to do a "Search" module, and I need it to print several results at once. I am although unsure how to get the results on flash. what I have been doing now is calling a php script that, after doing its operation, does something like (for example):

I 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)

I want to build search functionality into my AS3 app, whereby I would give some MovieClips their own relevant 'tags' and check whether any of the tags match the search items the user has put in - the objects would then be sorted depending on how much they match the search. I am thinking to put the tags for each object in an array and then go through them and look for matches, it is possible there would be multiple matches for each search request and I will need to split the search string on each 'space' (spacebar) to allow for multiple search terms. Also, I want to run the search every half second or so and so the search term could match the first few letters of a tag and this should return a positive match.

I work for an agency is South Africa and we have received a new brief to create a very Graphic intensive DVD presentation/site see: http:[url....html for an example of what the file is going to look like. I am just very concerned that the file needs to function both online and in A DVD player, and I am not even sure it is possible for a flash file to play on a DVD player as it won't be able to read the AS and in this case there is going to be XML and other files as-well..

Searching for "8kHz" yielded two results but doesn't show the search result titles or the links to get to the post, though it does show links to the forum itself and the user who posted the result. Same results no matter what I searched for, though if I initiate the search initially from the top level Forum, the search results work as expected.

I'm trying to create a simple xml search function that searches an xml file for a string, and if that string is found in the xml, display the node which contains that string in a text box.I have the simple search function working, but what I can't do is return the specific node. Right now, the function is returning all the xml data instead. If someone could take a look and possibly lend some guidance as to how to return the specific daya, I would be much oblidged. Hope this makes sense, if not, let me know and I'll do my best to clarify.[code]

I've got this simple GUI that has a search box and a couple result fields for "Word" and "Definition"...I've also got an XML file with about 800 or so terms and definitions.Currently the flash works just fine, it reads in the XML glossary, splits it into a word array and definition array and when I search through it, it creates a List filled with terms that match the string that I search for. We wanted it to update the list of possible matching terms each time you changed the search term: a, ap, app, appl, apple... etc.
Everything works, its just incredibly slow when you throw 800 terms at it to search through.I was wondering if anyone could either optimize my search somehow, show me another way of doing it.Here is the code pulled from the whole GUI.
ActionScript Code:
var glossary_xml:XML;
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("glossary.xml");[code].........

I'm working on writing an application that searches through xml data using a kind of "advanced" search. Users can filter data based on combobox data.Here is my xml:
Code:
<backgrounds>
<background name="Grassy Green" author="GBLM" description="A Grassy Meadow - perfect for brightly themed logos!" category="general" game="modernwarfare2" system="xbox360" colors="green yellow" tags="grassy,green,field,bright,gblm,"[code].....
It pretty much searches through the attributes, and also filters through some. The theory is that in my combo boxes, I also have a choice with blank data, so that way if they choose that it will not filter, because every string has an index of "". I have a few questions: Also, I keep getting this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
at testfile2NEW_fla::MainTimeline/searchPopulate()
at testfile2NEW_fla::MainTimeline/searchPopulateHandler()[code].....
Here is another thread I posted on a similar issue to this: http:[url]....I load my images into a TileList component as well. The xml is already loaded into my movie fine, and the images load fine into the TileList component, but my concern is making the Search feature accurate.
