I am again in trouble with my new project where i have to make a keyword search popup.There is a online study material from which i have to search keywords.Study materials are coming from XML file.So I placed a button for search option.when I'll press it there should be a popup window with keyword search fields ( as shown in image in attachment ).What I could do is, I can popup the window with given fields bt i dont know how to search for given keywords.
I was wondering if there is an easy way to search a string for a keyword. I am working on a twitter piece which searches strings for keywords and have found a way of loading all the data properly.
I am trying to do the search api for my flash site. I need to know how to enter the keyword and search on youtube. Then youtube will return the videos list which the user can click and watch it.
i have a big problem with Search function to build the Glossary.. First, what is the best way to build up the Search function that contains 400 more keyword?? what way should i use, with XML, or combo box or etc????
I have used the text field with String.indexOf() .. but it seem like not the best way.. because it's really long..
I want to make search box as in (url...) when any one click on the search then the default text goes away and the type text is seen there, besides this the background of the text field should change when the cursor is on it and get its default color when cursor is not there. [code]...
Alright, so within my final swf I need to have a function that searches, but not searches the internet (such as integrating a google or bing search). It will be searching though data that I have already collected. My data is in the form of CSV (comma separated values). I already load in the csv and all that jazz, no problem (using url loader). I put the data into an array. I can conduct the search in a few ways and I was wondering what everyone in the forum thought would be the best way. The data also gets attached as parameters to objects that I put on the stage, if that matters.It must return all things in the array that match the string typed in the search, and not just the first match it finds.
I'm planning to make an interactive map which have a search function. What I want is when user insert a place name in the search textfield then click the search button, when it found, the map images/mc slide then locate the place point, which is a button. How could I do this?
I've made a Flash site and I want it to be optimized for search engine.What I need is, for every query on Google for this organization name I want respective Flash page to be displayed.
If you search for "happy" you get no results but if you search for "Happy" you get 1 result.Is there a way to make the search ignore capital letters? So if you search for "happy" you get the same result as if you search for "Happy".
I have made an web site and I put it on the ftp address on the web. The site is full flash. My question is how can I make it visible on google search, or yahoo? Is there a piece of code that I have to insert on the html file that wraps the flash swf?
I have a bunch of pdf files in a specific location on my site (mysite.com/pdf).
I want to create a search field where the end user inputs text into a field and flash locates and opens the corresponding pdf file (mysite.com/pdf/myfile.pdf).
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.
Is 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?
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)
I'm sitting here doing some C# programing and in one of my switch statements I ended up using the goto keyword. Well just out of curiosity I booted up FDT and created another switch statement in ActionScript 3. Well to my surprise there is apparently no goto keyword in AS3 or at least I couldn't find a substitution.
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.
I'm trying to create a movie, that when a correct word is entered, it goes to a specified frame. The code below words fine but I need to make an addition to it,
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") { if (inputtext eq "word1") { gotoAndStop("frame1"); } else if (inputtext eq "word2") {gotoAndStop("frame2");[code]....
I was hoping to add extra words that would go to the same frame. I know I ca do this by�
if (inputtext eq "word1") { gotoAndStop("frame1"); } else if (inputtext eq "word3") {gotoAndStop("frame1");
but was wondering if there is an easier way, something along the lines of�
if (inputtext eq "word1", "word2", "word3") { gotoAndStop("frame1");
I'm a complete novice to ActionScript, OOP and Flash. I have no idea when you are supposed to use the keyword "this". I have searched the forums but obviously searching for the word "this" is not very successful! I've read quite a few tutorials now and it seems that different people have different opinions on when and where it should be used. For example what should I be doing in the following class? Both seem to work but is one the "correct" way? Are there situations where things will not work if you omit the "this"?
ActionScript Code: public class Sector { private var _radius:Number; public function Sector(radius:Number){ [B]this.[/B]_radius = radius; } public function get radius():Number{ return this._radius; } public function set radius(value:Number):void{ this._radius = value; }}
I have another possibly related question with regards to naming conventions. I like the use of underscores for properties with getters and setters but what about the names of the constructor parameters that are used to initialise these properties? In the above example I have used "radius" for the constructor parameter although it is also used for the getter and setter functions. It seems a bit of a palaver to come up with different names for the same quantity but is what I have done really bad coding practice?
I am trying to create a number of movie clips in my main movie but I don't seem to be able to access these movies using array notation and the 'this' keyword. Here's some example code in a main timeline. var i=0; createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+1,0); trace(this["clip"+i]); ////undefined - why????? var clip=createEmptyMovieClip("clip_holder",1); clip.createEmptyMovieClip("clip"+i,0); trace(clip_holder["clip"+i]); /////_level0.clip_holder.clip0. This is ok. What's wrong with this["clip"+i] ?
i got an error in AS.1042: The this keyword can not be used in static methods. It can only be used in instance methods, function closures, and global code.this is the error line.public static var defaultEase:Function = this.easeOut;
