View 1 RepliesI'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.
just uploaded my first flash website..and I'm having difficulty working out how to get google to 'see' it.
I've registered the site with google and have a very specific phrase in the <title> tag of the html code but the more I investigate, the more complicated it seems..Can anyone point me towards a step by step tutorial or something to get my site in the top 10 results?
I cannot find any download link for the search SDK described in this URL.[url]...

View 1 RepliesSo I have this database that's filled with data, but I would like to use Flash as an interface.
So I've got a couple questions, first of all, is it possible to create a text box that when the submit button is pressed, goes to another frame "results" that displays the results, each preferably a link to yet another slide "info" that displays the full entry info?
I already know all the PHP for this, just wondering how to integrate it with flash, and show the results and entries inside flash.
For this flash project I have a search engine that searches a XML database. This part I finally got working, but what I haven't managed to get to work yet is implement it with an input text field.

AS2, + CS4 Flash I am trying to develop a 'Nearest Store Locator' in flash for part of my website. Basically instead of having all of my stockists and stores listed on the website, I would like to have an input box, where a user can put in their Postcode, and the flash swf will search the stores we stock by the postcode(s) and bring up the closest 3 - 5 stores. Is this possible to do,
View 1 RepliesMy new project consists in setting a CD containing a structured data sheet (CVS, XML or Excel) and a serach engine. The idea is to allow the user (even not connected) to make searches live on the CD. There will also be a up-to-date version of the data on internet so if the user is connected, the application will prioritary load the online data.I was thinking at using ACTIONSCRIPT and XML.My questions are:1- Is ActionScript + XML a good choice?2- Is it possible to think at PHP + XML (so how to embed PHP on a CD without a sever?)
View 1 Repliesmy virtual keyboard is up and running. I am on the last leg of this project and what I need is, I am assuming complicated. Senario... the user types the department, suite number, or name of a particular person, the typing ends up in an input text field, with an instance name of "dirsearch". then the user clicks the button "Enter" and in theory the input text field, searches a file, and retrieves information which will be displayed above the keyboard. Most likey a bio sheet of what ever the user typed. But I need it to be flexable on the spelling of what the user typed into the input text field.

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.
