how to implement a text search in a multi-framed flash movie similar to what flash paper does. It searches all text included frames and upon hitting "enter" movies to that frame-> text occurance.

View 1 RepliesI have a search field that searches on key press...so you type b and it will automatically return all the words that start with b....if you type ba it will return all the words that start with ba....and so on and so forth...what I want to do is put a delay of one or two seconds before the search actually starts after the user STOPS typing...because with large lists I am experiencing lag...so I want the search to start once the person stops typing...here is what I have...
Code:
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
clearInterval(counter);
if(showLoad) {
trace("....1");
var seconds = 2;
[Code] .....
The output trace is only the first one "....1".

I'm working on a dictionary using Flash components. I'm trying to implement a search field, I manage to filter word and letters, as you do on goggle. What I need is to filter from the beginning of the word as you do on a Dictionary.

I am trying to understand what is going on in a SWC that I am importing from Flash CS4 into Flex Builder 3. Specifically I am using a SWC supplied by a Designer as the animation for a custom preloader (a subclassed DownloadProgressBar).The issue I am trying to understand is, once the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE is fired, I cleanup by removing the swc by running this [code]though even after I have removed this (which is successful, as I have checked by comparing this.numChildren before and after the call) the key framed animation still continues to run (not visibly). This has been detected by the Designer placing a trace in the time line of the animation (in Flash). Can anyone tell me why is it, that even after I have removed the animation from the subclassed DownloadProgressBar, it still keeps running ? Also, is it standard practice when importing SWCs to manage the cleanup of resources from the Flash side of things (much like releasing memory in obj-c). I find it counter intuitive that removing the child from the Flex side does not stop the animation.

View 2 Repliesi have a site entirely built on flash. its basically an e-magazine with lots of textual data. i need to implement a full text search where the user enters search terms in a text field and i need to highlight the occurrence of this search term within the textual contents inside this e-magazine
in a way its similar to what you do within a browser search or pdf search where after typing your search term they highlight all occurrences of this search term within the webpage / pdf document
what is the best way to do this? any ready component / solution / code available?

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 programmatically added 20 instances of a movie clip named "Token" to the stage. Token consists of a small rectangle and a dynamic text field. Each instance of Token was named "tkn." I'm attempting implement drag & drop for these movie clips. In the drag function which is called by the Mouse_Down event I've traced e.target.name. Instead of getting the name of the movie clip, tkn, I get name of the text field contained within tkn. After a lot of searching I found the mouseChildren property and within the code for the movie clip I now have the statement "this.mouseChildren = false;" This change corrected the name problem. I no longer get the name of the text field, but the movie clip name has been changed to "instancexxx," where xxx is a 3 digit number. Since I only want to drag the tkn movie clips I am testing e.target.name. How do I get Flash to keep the name of the movie clip as tkn?

I'm working on a gunslinger game. I have numerous frames which correspond to different stages of the game. The frame that corresponds to the actual gameplay has a really involved ENTER_FRAME function attached to particular item on the stage. When the game is over (or an error occurs, or the network connection fails) I want to leave the gameplay frame and move to some other frame. When this happens, I would like the ENTER_FRAME function on the gunslinger to be removed because the player may finish a game and then re-enter the gameplay frame later after selecting a new opponent.
QUESTION: Can anyone recommend a good way to manage the keyboard event listeners, all the button event listeners, etc? As you might imagine, I have no reliable way to determine which frame might be entered after the gameplay frame because the frame change could be triggered by a variety of different reasons.
I am sending a dynamic multi-line textField text to a database. Upon receiving it back, it doesn't display it in multi-line format properly. I am also using htmlText, so it stores it all the font / size /etc in the database perfectly.This code shows you the textField attibutes, both the text I create and send to MYSQL, and the text I get back also calls upon these exact attributes
Code:
TF.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
TF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
TF.useRichTextClipboard = true;[code]......
when I called upon the text from the database. It at least made it multi-line, but it messed it up a bunch also. My text is only 3 lines, but with wordWrap, it made it 8 and made it look off.Anyway, the text / font / color and everything comes in perfectly, except for the multi-line part.
