I've read about putting a search engine on a google map using as3 in Flash Professional. The problem is I can't find the proper swc file. I'm using Flash Pro CS5. Is there a relevant swc file I can use?

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.

View 0 RepliesMy 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.

View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 3 RepliesI'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 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.

Is there an easier way to search for ActionScript in an FLA? I've inherited a Flash Project from a former co-worker, and have been searching for this particular source in my FLA file, but have not been able to find it:

I'm well aware that it's there _someplace_ and have tried going through every symbol listed in the project, to no avail. When running the movie in the debugger, I see it lsited under "Actions" for the button symbol "mpbutton". However, when "editing" that button, I see no such actionscript associated.

I have a client whom I made an xml driven slide show for. Everything is working fine, but now they want a search box with button where the user can search through the "description" nodes of the xml file and then display that image.
I know I will use a loop to itterate through the nodes, but how do I actaully test to see if there is a node with more or less the same text that the user entered? Btw, the application is standalone, not on the net.
I'm currently searching for ways to count the number of pre-defined keywords in an XML file. An example would be trying to find how many times "war" is mentioned in a news networks RSS feed <title></title> and adding it to a variable.
I've found a few custom AS3 XML class files out there but nothing I've been able to adapt.I'm at the point of considering just taking the title of these news stories converting them all to strings and searching them that way.

View 3 RepliesI've been using this method of file uploading for a bit, but it seems that Google Gears has poor support for the newer browsers that implement the HTML5 specs. I've heard the word deprecated floating around a few channels, so I'm looking for a replacement that can accomplish the following tasks, and support the new browsers. I can always fall back to gears / standard file POST's but these following items make my process much simpler:
Users MUST to be able to select multiple files for uploading in the dialog.I MUST be able to receive status updates on the transmission of a file. (progress bars)I would like to be able to use PUT requests instead of POST I would like to be able to easily attach these events to existing HTML elements using JavaScript. I.E. the File Selection should be triggered on a <button> click. I would like to be able to control response/request parameters easily using JavaScript.
An example of uploading code using gears:
// select some files:
var desktop = google.gears.factory.create('beta.desktop');
desktop.openFiles(selectFilesCallback);
[code]....
Edit: apparently flash isn't capable of using PUT requests, so I have changed it to a "like" instead of a "must".
