ActionScript 2.0 :: Google Search Is Always The Same Except For The Search Variables At The End?
Jun 16, 2003
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.

My starting point here is Kirupa's wonderful tutorial on how to integrate an Atomz search with your flash site:I'm interested in doing the same thing, only with Google (referncing an AdSense account to run a SiteSearch). A quick search online brings up a lot of very technical looking material involving the Google API, which is frankly beyond my abilities at the moment. Does anyone have any tips for how the original tutorial could be modified for GoogleMy reasons for wanting to use Google instead of Atomz: 1) no 'competitive ad filter', so my vistors are potentially being redirected to the competition every time they run a search and 2) AdSense pays.

I have a client with a flash site made in AS2, and they want their search bar, on release, to take what u input in the flash field, and to search it on a separate, already made php page, in a custom google search, within the site.I cant figure out how to get the search field to pass the text to the google custom search on this other page and search it.If anyone has I've try getUrl but that doesn't seem to be able to do what I want, I was thinking of passing a variable to the other page but I am not sure if you can pass it into a google search bar, and I am not very experienced in parsing things between different code languages so this problem is a bit out of my comfort zone.

I'm currently using the Flickr Image Search API to load the first result of a string query as a background image for my site.Here's how it's looking so far: http:[url].....The thing with Flickr though is that if you want pictures at their original or large sizes every now and then you get an error message or image saying "Image Unavailable" due to Flickr permissions and user privacy restrictions. On the other hand medium sized or detail sized images tend to get very pixelated on large monitors. I'm pretty new at this Flickr API thing so I don't know if there's a way to filter the results to show only the first one that has actual original/large size available.
Question 1) Is there a way to filter/sort through Flickr API to load only the AVAILABLE/PERMITTED images at their original/largest size?Here's the code I have so far:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]...
2) Alternatively I was thinking that Google and Bing don't have permission/restriction issues(I think) so I was wondering if anyone knew how to set up a Google or Bing image search in Flash using AS3. The farthest I've got on this was finding this link: http:[url].... But I can't seem to get my head around how to actually build the whole search, query and load result.

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">
[code]....
So the data return from the query is correct, and the difficulty lies in accessing the "estimatedResultCount" near the end of the JSON data.

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'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.

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.

I'm pulling news information from an XML file. The root node is "article", the child nodes are (for example) "date", "title", "caption", "copy", "link", etc.
Each time an article is added, a couple button (mc's) will be added to the stage. One button when clicked displays a movie clip and attempts to update the dynamic textfields within to display just the date and caption. The other button when clicked displays a different movie clip and attempts to update the dynamic textfields within to display all of the information noted above.
Being that this is dynamic and coming from an XML file, I want to avoid having to write if ... else statements for every new article (and each button).
Is it possible to search an XML document and scan for a name/ID match to create certain actions?
In other words, If I were to give an MC a name of "thisButton123" and also give an XML article node an ID attribute of "thisButton123", I could say something like if the currentTarget.name == any of these XML node attributes than pull that nodes content. Eliminating the need to compare/contrast names and ID's specifically.

AS: 3.0 | Platform: Flex 3.I've been trying to figure this out for hours now and I've unable to decipher how to either correct or workaround this problem. Let me bring you up to speed. My user is doing a search, through a Tree component. To maintain the speed of the app, I convert the dataprovider to XML using the SimpleXMLEncoder (Of course this could be the start of my fall). Anyway, I have a list similar to this:[code]If that is the case, I would like the search to check those children and the grandchildren, and great grandchildren is any. So I've been trying to figure out the best method to perform this. Unfortunately, I haven't deviced a way to actually do it.I will need to be able to search the itemname and the parentid. So when I was using the descendant function I was doing this:[code]However using this method, it would never return a value, even though I know the value I am searching for is within the XML variable. So with that failure, I've decided to manually zoom through the XML to find what I am looking for. I am using a FOR LOOP to accomplish this.[code]
