What I want to do is have an image and then when the mouse hovers over it, it reveals (over the image) a search field where you can then enter information and search. I don't want the search box to be revealed when the mouse isn't hovering over it. I've tried alpha, everything.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to create a search function or find one on the web to purchase for a flash based website, and I've been trying to find some different tutorials on how to do this. I found a search program from CoffeeCup Flash Website Search that looked promising, however the big problem that I've been running into is that the website does not have an http:// address because it is running on an internal company network so it's file extension is like this:\File01MyDepartmentIndex.html so the CoffeeCup Flash Website Search can't do a search for all text found on my site. I'd like to have someone be able to search my site for text found on any of the different pages (All created with seperate swfs) and there are datagrids on most of them with xml data being loaded into them
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to create a search box in a flash website. The search box will display contain a search text entry field and a search button. When information is entered into the field and the Search button is clicked, a movie clip containing a Datagrid will display resulting the Page name (clickable) and a few lines of text in the page.
I'm building this against a WP database using Flash8 / PHP / MySQL.
I'm experienced at developing Flash / PHP / MySQL websites (not using XML) that display MySQL results so I'm not a newby in this area, however, I'm new to having Flash input information and retreive results in a DataGrid

View 3 Repliescreate a search field using Flash 5. I am currently using the search robot, just like the kirupa website. On registering your website, they give you a HTML code, which you put inside the variables of the search field. So when the user types in what he's searching for, he clicks "go" and then the next page is "Powered by and then the results of the search.Now I wanna know how I can simulate this in Flash 5, with the search results displayed in a normal HTML file, once the "go" button is clicked.I am creating an input text field and then a button saying "go". How do I set the variables in the search field to look up the search robot?

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to increase traffic for flash web site. Is there an action script to make your flash website "visible" for others. I heard that if I build a flash web site it will be difficult to get customers due to the fact that flash pages usually don't show up in the data bases. Is it right?
so anyhow is there a way to increase traffic or make my flash site "visible' in search engines. do you think building a splash page in html and then redirect them to flash is a good idea?
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.

I want to be able to do site specific searches for a online group on Black Planet but they have so many restrictions on coding my only option is to use Flash. I tried some of the search box stuff on this site but they all seem to just do a web search, not site specific searches. I would like to have something that would search the group threads only. The URL to group is here if it helps: [URL]

View 2 RepliesI'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.
[Code]...
I have a datagrid and a search field. I've set the change event of the search field to run the filterfunction of the datagrid. I'm able to match the entire term, but I'd like to be able to use a regular expression to do a progressive search (e.g., "Pe" matches "Peter"). I tried to create a regular expression to compare the fields, but I can't seem to get it to work. How do I return the results of the RegExp? Here's the function as it currently stands

View 2 RepliesI have a standard array with some text items and some numbers.
Here is an array item
ge: 65, (no quotes around this number)
Here is the DataProvider line (the section that applies to my example)
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: 65}]);
Here is the search line
for (var n; int = 0; n<arrayname.length; n++
arrayname[n]. Age == search_age.selectedItem.data
This works fine because the array number MATCHES the selectedItem data number (65) exactly and I get all records where age is 65
BUT I want to find records whose age is any number "greater than 60"
I have tried many ways to use the > sign and keep getting an error, example:
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: >60}]);
or
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: (>60)}]);
or
DataProvider([{label:"over 60", data: >(60}]);
None of these work.
Maybe these aren't numbers? I've tried putting 'int' in various positions with no results. I'm using a DataGrid which works fine for text items and will find numbers without quotes around them (if those numbers match whats in the array!).
What's the way to write this so I can get records greater than, or less than, etc.?
