for example, I try to search " keyIn:String = "BR1014"; " means I wanna search BR1014 in 4 XML files, so I load the XML info into an array, and using for loop to loop the XML array (in this case TitleArray1[i], TitleArray2[i]...)
and compare it with keyIn (which store the value BR1014), some how the value is located in TitleArray4[i] which have the length of 12 (trace(TitleArray4[i].length) = 12)
so everytime I run it, I will overwrite abc 12 times... and out put 12 time the abc value, in this case BR1014 was located in TitleArray4[3], so the 4th output of "abc" is BR1014 but others is all 999.
I've just tried senocular's xml tutorials. [URL] The search query seems case sensitive. How to make it accept upper and lower case characters. Actually i'm trying to make a search by myself by using the same code.
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.
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.
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)
How do i search use the code to search?e.g. From Zoo, To City Hall.The zoo(hv already create the flash animate to city hall)but the problem is how to write a code to point to zoo(action script)!
I've got a flash movie that reads in an XML file and has an input text box. When you type something in the input box, I want to search through the XML and return the names of the elements that match whatever is currently in the input box, even if its only partially complete.The input box has an event listener of type Event.CHANGE on it and it runs the following function.
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.
how to perform hitTest between mc within an mc??i tried it in the same timeline and it works, but those two movieclips (BLUE COLOR) is inside different MC'sis there a way to perform a hitTest between them??
I have a function that load an image from web, and change the image size inside an iterative loop. There is a loder and a listener on the loader for the loading to be complete :
for (var i:uint=0; i<=10; i++) { my_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler); function onCompleteHandler(evt:Event) { .// change the size of the image//} // other instructions...
} I want the program execute " other instructions" but only after the image is fully loaded and The size changed
I am using AS2 in flash CS3. I am trying to set up a communication between a flash client and a C# server. I would like to know if Flash allows me to perform XML serialization in the way that C# does. This is because I would like to use the XMLserialization class in C# for passing of data. If this is not possible, what other methods are available for communication?
When I'm making projects with Flex (or Flash Builer) the end result usually performs much better than a similar level project made with the Flash authoring tool. I know Flash IDE is rather for animations and design heavy works so you can't really compare these 2 tools, but this question is bugging me for a long time.If apps made with Flex (or Flash Builder) are really faster and less CPU intensive - why is that?
i am using this code as a way to perform a hit test on two objects.
Code: isTouching=menu1.hitTest(ease);
initially, after i run a trace on this, it comes out false. what i am wanting to know is how i can continually update this so that when my ease clip glides into the other clip, it will recognize it and do something like this.
Code: if (isTouching){ menu1.gotoAndPlay("start") }
the problem is, my hit test seems to be static and does not update. anyone who could explain to me how to make it check this condition would be much appreciated. maybe something with setInterval?

I'm trying to create a Flex application that automates a web browser to perform certain tasks. I would use the application to login to a site, parse data out of the HTML, and send it to a jsp page for processing. I currently have an application written in WPF that does that exact thing, but it needs to be ported to flex.
I have Flex application(not AIR) thats load image and perform some effects, application works well in flash builder and in the debug folder. But when I am trying to copy *.swf to another local folder, appears problems with image loading.
UPDATE You don't understand me, i am trying to load image from desktop using FileReference class, image shows successfully, but origBitmap after saveAsBitmap() method is null
public function loadImage():void { fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelected); [code].....
I have an mc with some tweens applied to it, but if you roll out before they are done they break. I don't want to disable the button while tweens are running because if you roll out while they run you confuse the user because nothing happens and you get stuck in that frame.
What I want is to acknowledge the rollout during the tween (or after) but not run until the tweens are finished. I cannot seem to access the onmotionfinished of the tween in the rollover function from the rollout function however.
If it helps here is my rollover:
buttons[i].onRollOver = function() { var oppX:Number = Stage.width-this._x; var oppY:Number = Stage.height-this._y;
I am trying to perform an action with Ctrl+Click So, when a textfield is clicked, I would like to check to see if the user has the Ctrl key pressed as well, if it isn't pressed ignore the click action otherwise do the action...
I want to perform an action if a function is being used. If that function is being used then I will use another function, something like: if(a.add){ a.mult; } That's what I want to do, but I don't know how to. The other thing is that when I use if , else if, with a text input as a parameter, I can't view the action of the if statement in a dynamic text field, even though I did write m.text=b, where b=a.suma.
