ActionScript 3.0 :: Search Variable Into Php From Flash?
Oct 2, 2009
I am passing a what will soon be my search variable into php from flash. The issue is when I need to search for something that needs to find a string value in quotes it fails.
Below is the like field variable declared in flash. LikeField = "Model_Profile.Gender = 'm' ";
This is how I am capturing my like field in php. $LikeField=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['likefield']);
Below is my query "SELECT count(*) AS Total FROM Model_Profile, Models WHERE Model_Profile.Model_ID = Models.Model_ID AND Models.Active = 1 AND {$LikeField}" For some reason it just doesn't seem to like the single quotes on the m, but I need them there to execute. Tracing the flash variables passed it outputs this likefield=Model%5FProfile%2EGender%20%3D%20%27m%27
I want to make a search box within flash that searches google for 'these Words are always the same' + a 3 digit number that is defined by a text input.
I have a search field in flash, it has a text box with a variable name. When the user clicks the search button, I need to send whatever is in that text field to something called 'search.cfm' . I am unfamiliar with any sort of backend coding, but I am hoping this is a fairly basic thing to do.
I don't know how to resolve this very simple action.I've made a program and at this point I've a list on the stage.I want to see if the selected list item has particular value.
Like: myList.selectedItem.label (this is current selected item of the list)
here, I want as3 to check if that label has " , " (comma) or not.
Like: if (myList.selectedItem.label contains == ","){ trace("comma found");
I have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script: public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean { trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName)); if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) { return true; } else { return false; }}
how to take what a user inputs into a s:TextInput and use that as a variable in a JSON data request? Basically, I want to have a user enter a search term, like "math" and then have that placed into a variable so I can use it in a JSON request. Something like public var q:String, except that my search box (and hence user input) is on another "view" of the application. I've just started with Flex Mobile applications and I might be way out of my league.
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.
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.
make a flash application using SWF Studio and Flash 8. I would like this app. to have search functionalities - whereby a user can search and get results linked to the particular section where the text is.
just uploaded my first flash website..and I'm having difficulty working out how to get google to 'see' it. I've registered the site with google and have a very specific phrase in the <title> tag of the html code but the more I investigate, the more complicated it seems..Can anyone point me towards a step by step tutorial or something to get my site in the top 10 results?
I 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.
I am in need of creating a search button for my flash project. I have created a single .fla file and from that I publish a single executable file. Within this project are various amounts of information on diffferent frames. How can i create a search box on my maing frame that when inputted into it will search my project for the text entered?
I am trying to create a search bar within flash which will generate links to frames within my flash project based off of given text. I have found a flash project online which does almost exactly what I need, but it only allows for searching a single word rarther than a full term or sentence. It also gives no error message when no word match is found. I am not very good at actionscript or I would be able to midify myself.
stop(); var testText0:String = "this is some test text one"; var testText1:String = "this is some test text two";
i'm working on a menu with a search field, all this menu is done in flash, on the english side works perfect, you write "dah" and it searches for "dah" but on chinese, you write "餅" it posts "??" instead the characters that i want to search for.I changed the encodig, but it just got things worst, i just can write squares if i change the encoding to big5,
I have been looking for a tutorial that shows or explains how to display the contents of a search engine like 'Google' or 'Youtube' inside Flash. No luck so far...
I have a "search" field where, supposedly, I would type a name and would get an array of "pessoa"s, but I am having some problems making the loop happen. So, imagine I would search for "Maria", I wanted to get a: trace(PessoaArray[0]) = <id>0140</id> <nome>Maria Manuela</nome> <email>mariamanuela@gmail.com</email> <contacto>967060255</contacto> [Code] .....
My starting point here is Kirupa's wonderful tutorial on how to integrate an Atomz search with your flash site:I'm interested in doing the same thing, only with Google (referncing an AdSense account to run a SiteSearch). A quick search online brings up a lot of very technical looking material involving the Google API, which is frankly beyond my abilities at the moment. Does anyone have any tips for how the original tutorial could be modified for GoogleMy reasons for wanting to use Google instead of Atomz: 1) no 'competitive ad filter', so my vistors are potentially being redirected to the competition every time they run a search and 2) AdSense pays.
I am using a flash banner ( FLASH MX ) and I have a search box in.Well I have a page called search.php whish search the database for keywords.all I am trying to do is send the keywords to the search.php page.
create 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?
