make a flash application using SWF Studio and Flash 8. I would like this app. to have search functionalities - whereby a user can search and get results linked to the particular section where the text is.
View 7 RepliesLong 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.

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.

I have a custom mxml component that contains a couple of images and 4 buttons. The component file already contains a clickHandler for each of the buttons. I need to be able to either access the clickHandler or create another function and attach it to those buttons from within my Main.mxml file. Should I add to the original clickHandlers? if so, how do I apply the method to my Main.mxml file?[code]...

View 1 RepliesActually i will tell u the reqmnt wat am looking for... i've done some animation in flash 8 and it was simple animation moving a movieclip vertically from keyframe 1 to 100. And i published the animation, i got an html file as well. still now everything is good. i can click the html file and can see the o/p now when am trying to open the same html second time, i need to display a popup mentioning do u want to continue the animation from wher u stoped on clicking yes, it has to start from wher u stopd earlier. if no, start from the beginning of the keyframe..
View 0 Repliesi've seen this technique done a few times and for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Basically, while in FLASH customized movieclip that looks like an alert box pops up and disables the entire movie behind it with a black transparent overlay. Where have I seen this, well, Macromedia uses it all the time on their site but mainly in their cart... thus I ran accross a different site the other day that also does the same thing.[URL]..
On the following page that loads hit "I agree" at the bottom to enter the movie clip.Then once the clip loads look to the top right and choose "file" then "new" and automatically you'll see what I'm talking about for they prompt you to do something when choosing "new".
implemented some sort of browser functionality in flash?

View 2 RepliesI have a video player that when buttons are pressed a video loads and plays. Every once in a while when I button mash I am able to get mulitple videos playing at once. I thought I had set the code up to remove all children before loading another video.I have a feeling that my issues can ultimatly be fixed using the BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED listener.
Is there a good way to disable all buttons on the screen while BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED is active and turn everything back on once BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED is complete?

- I need to be able to add a simple href link in there that the user can click if he wants.
HTML Background affects flash functionality
View 1 RepliesI would like to recreate the flash selection tool's functionality. To clarify, I created a drawing program that uses the drawing api. Now if a user draws a circle, I would like them to have the ability to stretch and mold it like you can in flash by hovering close to the edge so the ) cursor shows up.
View 3 RepliesI will tell you what exactly i need. I need a video scrubber and it should be in a circular shape. I will tell you how it has to work. I want to rotate with a small circle on top of a big circle. lets assume that small circle is called a dragger. Now i need to drag that on top of the circle either in clock wise direction or in anticlock wise. If am dragging in clock wise, the loading video has to seek forward. suppose in case if am dragging in anti clock wise, i need to see the video backward. This is the functionality am going to implement in FLASH CS3/FLASH CS4.

View 2 RepliesNew to AS3, long time programmer. Essentially I am creating a myriad of objects, all of which will have the same functionality, although the properties will vary between each object, including the artwork. I believe they will all be movieclips as they will be interactive and I believe they will be moving.
I am wondering what the best way to create these objects are. I am assuming that I create an object class with the functionality and properties, I'm just unsure how to instantiate multiple copies with different properties, if that makes sense.
Got a request to incorporate a page flip functionality in a Flash site.

I have a Flash presentation that is built in Papervision 3D and I want to put it on the Xoom tablet. Are there different event handlers to make the touchscreen work or will normal button events port correctly?
