I have a string that looks something like this:
TestString - "1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0"
I need to create some sort of loop (I think) to search though the string and look to see if it contains any 1's.
I'm trying to create a sort of search relevancy within flash and actionscript 3. The goal is to have a person's search return results that match the most user input search terms. For example, if a person searches for "apple pie", I don't want pictures of just apples, and just pies to show up first. I have, what I believe is a good system so far. I basically go through each item in an XMLList (consider it to be all the items that will be searched), and see how many of the terms return true. I add this number to a variable I called "relevance", and then push it to an array.
So now I have my XMLList and matching relevancy array. My big question: Is there a way to sort my relevancy array numerically, and have the XMLList(or a temporary copy of it) sort to match the relevancy array? In other words, when my relevance array sorts itself, I want the xml list to copy the resorting.
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.

I have a function videoList which I want to sort through my video URL's in my XML, using a switch/case method. The for loop in each case is bringing back all videos in the XML.

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.
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?

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.

My question is i need to do a "Search Listing" and "sort name" function in my FLASH cd rom. In this cd rom will have 1000 of names, A - Z of names,
1) user can search the name by typing it.
2) or, user can sort the name list by click A.
I 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 need to create a sort of 'flex' effect for a box, with a circle at each end. If on one side of the movie clip I want the end to go upwards or downwards towards the mouse. Sort of like rubber, and I need it to be anchored at the center, sort of like a piece of rubber that is held at the center.
View 14 RepliesI have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script:
public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean {
trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName));
if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}
my objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?
i'm trying to write a function but with no luck. seems my brain capacity's limited the function will take two parameters: a term to search for, and a string to be searched. what i want the function to return is a new string containing the term (the parameter) along with a couple of words before and after it (as found in the search string).
