Is it possible to create a search function and show the results by goin to that particular frame within a flash file ?
The data is not dynamic....and it is not server/web based....
I 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 0 RepliesI have the following XML file structure:
Code:
<VideoData>
<CuePoints>[code]....
And I am trying to create a function which will search the cuepoints for a specific time, I'd also like the function to be re-useable, so I could just feed it a xml tree path and a search term then it would return a reference to the matching node.So far I have only managed to return what is in the node:
Code:
public class Search
{
public static var returnData:Array = new Array();[code].....
I just download and start customizing this: [URL] Its a nice and small XML search engine, I can add words and phrases etc, my problem is I cant add a link to the results, i try some things without luck, someone can give me a clue in how to make it work
View 6 RepliesI'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?
I am trying to adapt this search code to display the results one at a time.Right now it displays all the terms it finds all at once and separated by commas. How would I adapt the code so it displays one item or term at a time.

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.
Any Info about using the new Twitter API's to search images with a hashtag and display the results?

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.

Let's say I have a plain HTML website. More than 80% of my visitors are usually from search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. What I want to do is to make my whole website in Flash.However, search engines can't read information from Flash or JavaScript. That means my web page would lose more than half of the visitors.So how do I show show HTML pages instead of Flash to the search engines?
Note: you could reach a specific page/category/etc in Flash by using PHP GET function, for example: you can surf trough all the web pages from the homepage and link to a specific web page by typing page?id=1234.
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?
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 have a function that returns an array of search results. I have a limit of 7 per page. When they hit 'next' I want to show the next 7 results in the array. How can I do this?

create a search field using Flash 5. I am currently using the search robot, just like the kirupa website. On registering your website, they give you a HTML code, which you put inside the variables of the search field. So when the user types in what he's searching for, he clicks "go" and then the next page is "Powered by and then the results of the search.Now I wanna know how I can simulate this in Flash 5, with the search results displayed in a normal HTML file, once the "go" button is clicked.I am creating an input text field and then a button saying "go". How do I set the variables in the search field to look up the search robot?

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
In most browsers, when you have one in focus and you type something, the combobox will try to find the value within its options and show the closest one. I was wondering what kind of algorithm is used for that.I don't think its Levenshtein or similar since it only works with the beginning of the string.I'm thinking that it works by keeping a buffer of what has been written, and tries to find a string starting with that... if it doesn't find anything, it clears the buffer, and searches a string beginning with the last character pressed.I already prototyped this, and it works quite ok, with one caveat... In HTML, when you repeatedly press the same key, it will rotate between all options starting with that character.
