View 0 RepliesFlash :: Timeline Code To Object Oriented Code - Access Instances Already On Stage
Jan 12, 2011As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Search Box Put On The Stage
Aug 4, 2011I would like to create a search box that searches whatever I put on the stage. For example, I place 10 movie symbols on the stage, I then create an input search text field where I would type in one of the movie names in the box and hit search. If the name matches with the name of either of the symbols on the stage, it would then highlight that movie symbol.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Image Gallery - Erases The Last Search Results From The Array And The Stage
Aug 27, 2009I am currently in the process of making an image gallery at university over the period of the semester. Eventually it will be able to search through flikr and pull thumbnails from there but for now we are just getting the fundamentals working. Last weeks task was to have the int amount of thumbnails show up depending on the number u placed in the search field.
So in other words i type in 3 in the search field, and 3 placeholder images show up. The problem is having to remove them from the stage and the array so that when u type in 2 or 1 after having typed 3, that it erases the last search results from the array and the stage. This is my code below which half works. It will place however many images you tell it to, but will not erase them next time u press search.

View 1 RepliesSearch Function To Search For Button Names?
Jun 8, 2009I'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.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Develop A Search Box That Will Search Through The Titles?
Nov 23, 2011I'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.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Google Search Is Always The Same Except For The Search Variables At The End?
Jun 16, 2003Its 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove All Childs On Next Frame
May 30, 2010I have been busy working on a small mini game, in which has several other mini games such as Memory.

Now I have been trying to remove all the childs whenever its on a new frame but I just can't get it to work, I hope someone on the Flashkit forums is able to help me out with this.

What I need is basicly a function such as "Image -> Apply Image" in photoshop.Except that it only copies a movieclip and not whole stage.
