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";

View 1 Repliesi have a site entirely built on flash. its basically an e-magazine with lots of textual data. i need to implement a full text search where the user enters search terms in a text field and i need to highlight the occurrence of this search term within the textual contents inside this e-magazine
in a way its similar to what you do within a browser search or pdf search where after typing your search term they highlight all occurrences of this search term within the webpage / pdf document
what is the best way to do this? any ready component / solution / code available?

when the mouse rolls over an image, text appears (in a small rectangle) and it moves with the mouse, only while it is still over the image.
Or at least, does anyone know what this is called or how to do it?
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.

Searching for "8kHz" yielded two results but doesn't show the search result titles or the links to get to the post, though it does show links to the forum itself and the user who posted the result. Same results no matter what I searched for, though if I initiate the search initially from the top level Forum, the search results work as expected.

Is there an easier way to search for ActionScript in an FLA? I've inherited a Flash Project from a former co-worker, and have been searching for this particular source in my FLA file, but have not been able to find it:

I'm well aware that it's there _someplace_ and have tried going through every symbol listed in the project, to no avail. When running the movie in the debugger, I see it lsited under "Actions" for the button symbol "mpbutton". However, when "editing" that button, I see no such actionscript associated.

I 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?

View 1 Replieshow to output the error messages I'm seeing in my output screen in the IDE to a text area, so I can see if such errors are occurring in production What I found is that the forum search feature is not working at all. I received no results for the words "error", "movie", "flash" and "text", items which are obviously ones which should return SOME results.I couldn't find any way to contact Adobe about this, so I am hoping someone who works for Adobe and watches the forums will pass this along.

View 3 RepliesI'm making a glossary. The glossary terms and definitions are in an xml file. I have read the terms (the words to be defined) into an array. I have included a search field, such that when I enter a term in the search field, a function loops through the array of terms and if the string I entered in the search field matches an item in the array, Flash traces out "match" (in this early part of coding).Here is my problem: If one of the terms in the glossary is "India Pale Ale", with capital letters, then a search on "india pale ale" turns up no matches.How do I remove case sensitivity in this scenario?
