View 1 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
I already have a PHP script displaying the results from a search that works and now I need to complete the Flash frontend
I am working on a portfolio site to display images. I have 2 frames, the first contains a progress bar and this code:
[Code]...
The second frame has the content and different action script that is related to it.
My problem is that the whole site works fine in Flash when i "test movie" and "simulate download" but as soon as i "publish preview" in either flash or html the progress bar doesn't work, it just freezes on that frame.I am really new at this and have just pieced together the code i have from various tutorials on the net but this is really testing my patience. So frustrating because the site took me ages and it looks great in flash, just need to get past this little hitch.
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.
View 1 RepliesHas anyone seen the issue with the progess bar, when uploading on a system running Windows 7.The progress bars show 100% immediately as the upload is happening, and the site looks like its frozen out - but its not, the upload finishes and the onComplete event is fired! So the upload is working, but not the progress bar.I am not even sure who's problem this is... is it MS, or Adobe
View 0 RepliesI 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 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 emulate the transition effect from the site venuliving.com (I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts).
When you click through the various sections, coloured bars expand and move across the site, they hold while subtly moving and then shrink out once the section has loaded.
how this sort of thing is achieved? I've been considering creating the whole thing using coloured rectangles and TweenMax but I'm wondering if this was created dynamically in AS3? Or if it's a customization of some existing transition?
My mission here (and I'll try not to convolute it too much!) is to edit a flash based form from a decompiled SWF. The form's main purpose is to record user information in text fields, attach a file and email both to an external address using a few PHP scripts (I'm presuming) to dictate how the information is delivered. My problem is that SO THINK decompiler does not attach ACTIONSCRIPT to the layers and frame in the timeline, instead it exports each Action-script as a seperate .AC file. I have not yet been able to export an FLA that allows me to edit the scripts effectively, and am wondering if there is a more effective way to use a decompiler in this case, or if there is another solution to the problem.

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?

View 2 RepliesI 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";

How to create a search engine in Flash. My website has an embedded swf top navigation in HTML.
how to create a search box in the swf top navigation. So when a user clicks on a "Search" button, it would direct him to a new page in my website, listing out the relevant URLs of my website.
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?

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to create a sort of search relevancy within flash and actionscript 3. The goal is to have a person's search return results that match the most user input search terms. For example, if a person searches for "apple pie", I don't want pictures of just apples, and just pies to show up first. I have, what I believe is a good system so far. I basically go through each item in an XMLList (consider it to be all the items that will be searched), and see how many of the terms return true. I add this number to a variable I called "relevance", and then push it to an array.
So now I have my XMLList and matching relevancy array. My big question: Is there a way to sort my relevancy array numerically, and have the XMLList(or a temporary copy of it) sort to match the relevancy array? In other words, when my relevance array sorts itself, I want the xml list to copy the resorting.
I have a little problem. I need to create a search form that will work offline. I mean, ...when you type a file name, it will find it and open it for you.how to do it in flash, swish, or swift ?
View 2 RepliesI have a string that looks something like this:
TestString - "1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0"
I need to create some sort of loop (I think) to search though the string and look to see if it contains any 1's.
I have the following XML file structure:
Code:
<VideoData>
<CuePoints>[code]....
And I am trying to create a function which will search the cuepoints for a specific time, I'd also like the function to be re-useable, so I could just feed it a xml tree path and a search term then it would return a reference to the matching node.So far I have only managed to return what is in the node:
Code:
public class Search
{
public static var returnData:Array = new Array();[code].....
Is it possible to create a search function and show the results by goin to that particular frame within a flash file ?
The data is not dynamic....and it is not server/web based....
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.
