I need to create a search "thing"! I have a database with, for ex., 10 names, with age, color of eyes and hair. I need to create some form were you choose to search for someone between 20-30 years, blue eyes, brown hair, and then the results appear on a list with links to each case... did I made myself clear?

way to search a string for html links, the reason i ask is so that when my clients update their sites using external text files, all they have to do is type in [URL] and when the var is imported into flash it will be converted into <a href="http://www.somewherenice.com">www.somewherenice.com</a> so my clients don't need to learn lots of html coding.

I am trying to get the number of incoming links to a page through the Google Search API. It is not working (just returning Null)
Here is the code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init();" width="320" height="480" backgroundGradientColors="115115" backgroundGradientAlphas=".2" backgroundAlpha=".2" dropShadowEnabled="false">

So the data return from the query is correct, and the difficulty lies in accessing the "estimatedResultCount" near the end of the JSON data.
How can I search a string for containing another string?
Like "I like pizza." search for "pizza", and if it has it, return true, but if it doesn't - false.
In the following example (yes, I am coding on my timeline while I try to work this out - I know, I know) I am loading an SWF in an HTML page and then directing the SWF to get the query parameters from the current URL. The query parameter will contain the source for the video to play.
This seems straight forward to me but I cannot get myURL = urlVars.videoloc; to work. More specifically, urlVars.videoloc seems to be undefined rather than holding the query parameter from the URL. All other variables are correct; both wholeURL and urlVars are defined.[code]...
I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.
I am having trouble searching through a list component and/or dataprovider to see if an item already exists. Basically i am adding items to the list when a item is dragged on to the list. But i want to check to see if an item is already added so not to duplicate items. any ideas would be great.

tho i get an error here : and pretty sure it's from some bad use of .indexOf (because if i comment out that indexOf conditional, it works fine).i'm confused by the AS reference for indexOf, as it appears to be used for both Arrays and Strings.[URL]
i like to stay away from a loop if possible.
i have a string like this.
"<person><uid>bob</uid></person>"
i want to read the bob between the uid tags is there any easy way to do this using regexp or ay other method i have writers block here.
i should also metioned the string between <uid> and </uid> is variable length so i would really just like to read in between the uid tags.
what 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?

My designer provides me lots of MovieClips containing buttons and its states and most of them contain a TLF TextField. Now I do not want to check each MovieClip where a TLF TextField is used. Can I know exactly in which MovieClips and buttons a TLF TextFields has been used so that I can convert them to a classic TextField, or any method to convert all TLF TextFields to classic automatically by the compiler itself? I tried deleting the TLF library from publish settings: it starts giving me an error, but still not pointing me to where TLF TextFields are being used.

I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.
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]

This replaces the 2 but of course also replaces all the other instances of 2 in the htmlText as well. Is there any possible workaround? Can I exploit the fact that the other 2's are inside quotations and someone not mess with those ones based on that fact?
