ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Creating A Search For Information In A XML File?
Jun 17, 2010
I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a search box that searches an XML document and returns the results. So far I know how to do a search that returns exact matches but I want to make it so if someone typed in say "Manager" it would return results that Also had "Sales Manager" or "Account Manager".
Currently I have
PHP Code:
var authorList:XMLList = xmlData.job.(title == citySearch.text);
Which only works with exact results. What is the best way to get around this? Do I just need to bring in everything from the XML file and then compare it using .search()?

I'm kinda noobish when it comes to getting information from XML information sent to my flash file from the socket server. OK so for example the server sends me this:
[Code]...
I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.

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.

Is it possible to access the type of object being interacted with so I can create a new instance of the same object? So for example in the code below I have the movieclip myItem. After it's clicked it is removed from stage and then moved to the inventory. When I click on it there, is it possible to create a new instance of mcItemToDuplicate using the event information parameters? (while allowing myItem to be where it is).
My code looks something like this:
public function moveclip() {
var myItem:mcItemToDuplicate = new mcItemToDuplicate();
stage.addChild(myItem);
[Code]....

I have this long list of video files(some 500 of them) to be linked to my flash interface. I am looking at the option of creating a search engine such as that when the user key in some keywords, it will search thru my list of video files and bring up the appropriate files. (results will show names of files first then user can choose to click on those that they want to view)

So 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.

my 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.

what i would like to do is create a search field that as the user types in the search bar if there are any matching entries in the list, the focus/selection jumps to that particular item in list. i don't want to clear the list just go to the item that matches.i would like it to be predictive so if i have these entries:and the user types "s" in the search box to the first "s" entry in the list (samson) is selected, if they type "se" the selection jumps to the first entry with "se" in it (seek) if they type "seet" the selection jumps to "seether" and so on.i have absolutely no idea how to do it, but more importantly...is this possible?

In Eclipse (and Flash/Flex Builder) you get the option with Ctrl+Shift+F to do a file search and look for a regular expression. Would be a real handy thing to know.
I want to find the word negate if it appears in a Flex/java comment like the following:
// It was negated because

I want to create flex/actionscript directory view for my files with php/mysql. I have some ideas that I want to share:
1)I am thinking of creating table (in mysql) "files" and another table "folders", when user loges in i will require all data from "files" and "folders" where Username = 'something'. But the problem is, I will create a lot of entries inside of tables. For example if I will have 100 users, and each user could create 100 entries (files or folders) it means that i will get 10000 entries inside table.
2)My second idea, and I think more safe way of doing it is creating table "users" where will be set id, username, password, ... , files, folders. In files (text format entry) will be listed information about files, and they will be dividend by "*" symbol like this:
id*file name*size(in kbytes)*path*status
example:
15*test.exe*150*/root/*private
16*test2.exe*200*/root/folder1/*public
[Code]....
Now here is only 3 file info but there can be more than 1000.

I'm using AlivePDF in a project, and this is actually the first time I've used it. I've gotten it to work just fine except for when I send the PDF file to a server. The problem is the save() function makes a few assumptions:
1. it assumes I don't need to send any other information along with the PDF file.
2. It assumes I want to pop open another page.
3. It assumes that Flash doesn't need to know what's happened to the file after it was sent.
What I want to do is send the PDF file along with some other data with a URLRequest, and then get the response back from the server, and depending on the response move on. AlivePDF seems to have this "one size fits all" function for sending the PDF to the server. has anyone dealt with this before? Any resources I can look at? I've been all over Google trying to find answers, but I'm kind of at a loss.

I have some Actionscript code that will hopefully upload multiple files to my web server (via a PHP script). A user simply selects their files by clicking on a "select" button, then uploads them by clicking "upload".To see a current version of this, goto [url]...., sign-in using (username: test1, password: freedom7901), and click the active link.
However, I also want the user to fill out some text that will describe each file upload (the property name) - so I've also included an input text box in the flash panel, and called this instance "property_txt". Can someone give me the correct code so that this value can be sent to the php script along with the file information? I'd like to access the value via the GET or POST function in the PHP code.Here's my AS code:
import flash.net.*;
var currentListItem:Number;
var fullFileBytes:Number;
var progressBar:MovieClip;[code]...

I want to load information from a Text file and then want to use in action script as a variable.What I did. I make a file with the name Text.txt and write there TextFld=You are Good Boy In flash I make a getText.fla in which i build a Text box at stage and set it to dynamic and the name of this variable is also TextFld Instance Name is Txt. Write the following code at main timeline
loadVariables("Text.txt",_root);
pretty fine it shows this information in flash but i want to use this variable in action script to do more action i.e i want to make flashy text. I want to store this information in a variable and then use that variable for other purpose.

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.
