I'm pretty sure this feature doesn't exist (I just looked), but is there Flash IDE project-wide Actionscript search? The Flash IDE might be a tolerable AS3 code editor if this feature was available, now that code-hinting/intellisense is better in CS5.

View 0 RepliesI recently discovered the Project panel with the Flash application. I'd like to start using it on a regular basis, but I can't seem to figure out how to do a multi-file search of all the AS files included in a Project. From what I can tell, the search functionality within the Flash app only looks at the current document. Or is there a way to do a global search for a text string within a Project?

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)
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.
I have a simple thin line, I want it to be 100% wide so it fills in the entire screen in width.
View 2 Repliesi want to create a site %100 SWF width so it resizes with the browser and also a Carrousel effect that lets me go back and front in the timeline. But just can't find a way to do it.
Here is an example of the site i want to do: [URL]
As you can see, the models has the Carrousel effect and the Width is %100.
I have a container_ mc that is 560x320wide. I have a "About Us" button beside it with this code in my actionscript file:
[Code]...
The about1.swf is a 560x320 wide swf movie with pictures and images in it. When I preview my main movie and load "about us" page the about1 swf is stretched out much wider than 560px. It is about 700px wide and goes off the page.
i'm making a scrolling xml gallery. Everything is working fine however for the particular design of the site i'm making i need thumbnails that have different widths. Currently i've written an xml file that lists the names of the images which are then loaded into a container within a scroller.Is there a way i can load external images and then write some AS that figures out how wide each thumbnail image is? (i have a feeling i need to write a variable for the widths of the containers but not sure how) or maybe an easier way of looking at it - does anyone know of an example that loads an array of images sequentially that have different widths but display next to each other?
View 2 Repliesdoes anyone have any idea how i can scroll a 8000px wide image (since its beyond FP9 stage limits.).It works fine in the swf, but does not work in IE.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on an AIR app that will have a free basic version and a more advanced paid version that's unlocked with a license key. Ideally once a license key is entered I'd like it to unlock the application for all users of the computer. However, I haven't been able to find a suitable system-wide location for storing the license key file. All of the preconfigured locations in the File class (e.g. File.applicationStorageDirectory) are either user-specific or read-only.
Is there a standard system-wide location in AIR where I can store things like this? If not the file system, maybe shared objects, or SQLite, or the encrypted local store? Failing that, are there standard locations on each system (Windows, Mac, Linux) that I could hardcode that are guaranteed to be writable by all users? The last option is made more difficult by the lack of access to any environment variables.
If all else fails I guess I could just require the application to be unlocked per-user, but that doesn't sound like a recipe for happy customers ("What do you mean I have to buy it twice for my wife to use it? We only have one computer!"). (Okay, yes, it it's per-user I'll probably let one key unlock the app 3 or 4 times to be nice about it, but it's still less convenient for the user to activate multiple times).
I made a movie clip consisting of many other clips. Its 232px wide & 300px high. Actually its an ad. Somebody plz guide me how can make the whole movie a link?

- the header will be included in a html-template with a width of 100%
- theh content of the website will be center-aligned (950px wide)
How do I make sure that:
- the cityscape moves over the full width of the screen, regardless of the size of the screen?
- the logo remains correctly positioned?

1) In my program, I am wanting to create a function that would take in the height and width of a loader object, compare them to the stage dimensions, and then scale the object in question before it is added to the display list. However, I have several different types of classes that I want to make use of this functionality. So what would be better, to create a NEW class that would have to be created each time a resize needed to occur, and is imported by all needed classes, or just have a function within each already existing object and copy that function to every class's scope that needs it? Would this be resolved by placing the function in question inside of the default package?
2) When accessing stage properties, are they a global or a relative scope? i.e.[code]would those two statements produce the same value regardless of whether they were in the default package or inside of 1300 classes? Or is the stage scope relative to some degree?
Is there a way to say "only use the coords of the viewable area" when aligning a mc that is masking a really wide object? (I'm looping through XML and duplicating MC's inside a centered mc and under a mask.)
View 7 RepliesI have a file uploader that uses a file reference list (FRL) to upload files. However what I want to do is use the FRL to display all the images/files that were selected and then display them in either a list, or photo gallery. I would lean more towards the photo gallery approach but I don't know how to dynamically lay out the thumbnails properly.
What's the best way to display the thumbnails in rows 3 pictures wide and then skip down a line etc.Now ofcourse I don't know how many files will be selected so my next question would be can I draw the thumbnail gallery in a seperate container (or frame sort of like in VB) and then have that container have it's own scroll bars?
I have a tree, which childs dispaching event, if i run the object outside TitleWindow - everything is working fine, but if i encapsulate it inside a TitleWindow as into the source below - the event is not anymore dispached system wide.
