I've created a search with a couple of comboboxes that allow users to filter their search results. The results are currently using a TileList & itemRenderer to display, and now I'd like to add an animation effect when the user filters their results. I know that you can use the itemsChangeEffect to create an animation effect when the user drags and moves result itmes. So I'd like to know if there's a way to create a similar effect triggered by the filtering on the comboboxes?
View 1 RepliesI have a table in the database:
name Opinion
Tim Tim has an opinion
John other random text
Dan Dan's random text
Al Al says something else
I call this data and get it back in
getRecords.lastResult
To access John's opinion, I could use:
getRecords.lastResult[1].opinion
But that's only because I know that John is the second record (record 1), but this may change. So the right way is to search through the results to first find the record index for John, then access his opinion.
I need some sort of a loop? Is there an easier way to search for John directly without a loop?

End-User searches for something and an ArrayCollection is returned with Result objects. This is displayed in a data grid.End-User selects a few of the search results and "moves" it over to another datagrid for use later.End-User does another search.
PROBLEM:Some of the search results might contain something the user already previously selected and moved over to the second datagrid. I want to remove these from the second search result.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a search function but am having a bit of trouble finishing some display details. The following code works fine for finding and displaying text within an xml file, but I want to display the results differently. Using the following xml as a source, I would like to:- highlight the search term (var searchTerm) in red when found in the xml- add some characters found before and after the search term to give the term that is found some contextFor now, how could I add 3 characters before and after the search term, like so: "The first tex" - and highlight 'first' in red
var xmlFileToSearch:XML =

I am currently in the process of making an image gallery at university over the period of the semester. Eventually it will be able to search through flikr and pull thumbnails from there but for now we are just getting the fundamentals working. Last weeks task was to have the int amount of thumbnails show up depending on the number u placed in the search field.
So in other words i type in 3 in the search field, and 3 placeholder images show up. The problem is having to remove them from the stage and the array so that when u type in 2 or 1 after having typed 3, that it erases the last search results from the array and the stage. This is my code below which half works. It will place however many images you tell it to, but will not erase them next time u press search.

I have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?
here's what I want to do: I need a simple CV search function for a small site. There will be two fields: on the first field the user will input a Name or Surname and on the second field the script should return one or more results taken from a pool of names + surnames that should be clickable links to the respective .htm page of each cv. Is this possible?

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.

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.

The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:
