Flash Search Field - Atomz Search
I currently use Atomz for their search engine. A clients site as of now is all HTML, however I am buidling some flash elements which will incorporate a simple "search" field and submit button.

I will include the HTML, however I am unsure how to make a form in Flash to be able to include the hidden fields, etc. I hope this makes sense, and thank you in advance!

<form method="get" action="http://search.atomz.com/search/" name="search">

<input name="sp-q" class="textbox" id="sp-q" value="Search" size="15">
<input type="hidden" name="sp-a" value="sp1002ad5d">
<input type="hidden" name="sp-p" value="all">
<input type="hidden" name="sp-f" value="ISO-8859-1">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

If someone could create a small file, or let me know where to place what code where, please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated! As well, if you have paypal, I can send a little something for the help!

Search Engine -user Can Search His Pictures With Keywords- HELP
I was reading about search engines and I came across a post. Being fairly new to flash I do not know how to develop this. I have a client who owns a small furniture store. I am setting up his site. He wants it to be all flash based. He has about 300 pictures of his products.I need to make a search engine in Flash so that the user can search his pictures with keywords. I read a suggestion that would fit my needs- create an array of picture names then use a loop to check if the keyword is in the array. I have been going through tutorials with no luck- can someone please help. Maybe start the code the person is talking about so I can just expand on that.

How Do You Search In Flash?
Hi,
I'm trying to create a basic search engine in Flash which allows me to search through documents stored on my computer (about 30 documents).
I have no idea where to start with the search engine part of it, but this is what I need.

1) User types in a word.
2) Flash checks word against a list of keywords corresponding to each document.
3) Flash returns titles of the documents that match.
4) Each title is a flash button that can control a movie clip (i.e. each document is actually a frame in a seperate movie clip).

I've read up a bit on array's but I'm still not very sure, and I've also been playing around with XML.
If anybody could send me a file explaining how to create the search part of the file (I can probably figure out the rest) then that would be amazing. Or just explain to me how it can be done.
Thanks for any help.

Flash Search
MMkay.
I am not very good at flash, although I try.

I want to create a search field in flash that submits to a HTML page.

However I want to turn in input field 90 degrees (ie, on its side).

I would also like to have any text thats in the search field to disapear when you click on it to put in text and then submit the information when you press enter.

I did look at quiet a few of them google search things and tried editing them to work how I wanted however I can't get any of them to work.

The way the search works on my site is it calls its self (its a php generated page) with the veriable ?s= then the text string (ie, ?s=text)

All the other ones I have downloaded wont change from query no matter what i change.

I hope that was clear.
If you guys can point me in the right direction or lead me through how to do it I would be forever grateful!

How To Use Search On Flash 8
I am using Flash Pro 8. I created a .fla file which contains several objects, each of them has the ActionScript. Now I want to search through all the ActionScript for a variable such as named GeneratedXML (already used somewhere in the application).

So I go to Edit --> Find and Replace or Find Next. Neither can locate the "GeneratedXML". But I know there is indeed a variable named: GeneratedXML, because I can see it right before me.

I just want to test the search function of this tool(Flash 8). I need do a lot of searching and location of a parameters, function names, etc throughout the .fla file.

Then how to use or do a search for a text in (the ActionScript) in Flash 8?

Thanks

Search Engine In Flash
I don't know if this is the correct section to post in but here goes. I was wondering if it would be at all possible to do the following.

I want to be able to put a small serach feature into my stand alone flash project without any external input.

I want set a search box in a certain scene and have it so that if a person types in a word from a predefined list it will take them to the proper keyframe with info on that word. Also if the word they type in id not on the list it will go to a keyframe telling them that there is no such word.

Is this even possible to do in flash at all? I am not that great actionscript and in fact I know very little so I am looking for help and or tutorials on this. Really any help would be great.

Stuck... Flash + ASP Search... I Appreciate Any Help...
I have a problem with using ASP-Access Database-Flash...

I have to read around 400-500 records which each of them have 6-7 different variables. And I have to make a search within that database and get the results into Flash and use all the results seperatly to be able to control a video gallery...

Actually I managed to send the search data from Flash and get the results from Access Database to ASP and then to Flash and it works perfectly unless the results does not pass the amount 39. When I search something which has 40 results, still I can get the results to Flash but to make "another" search causes an error in flash...

I had post the details to FlashKit at:

http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=322398

and some users tried to help me but none of them even could get close to the issue...

I am really stuck in this issue more than one week and still could not get any clue...

If you need the fla, mdb or asp files to understand what is wrong, you can download it from

Thank you for your time.

Flash Search Form?
Has anybody ever seen a flash search form tutorial or something?
here's what i want to do:
theres an empty text box
underneath it is a listbox (with scroller and all)
the listbox should contain upto 7000 entries (im worried if flash might hang or something )
now when u type something in the textbox ... say "New York" for example i want flash to do a search 4 that word throughout the 7000 entries and the list shrinks to show only the entries that have the word New York in them (so the listbox now acts as results box ....
is this possible? especially with this huge amount of entries? i can't link to a db or MySql or anything of the kind .. i need the swf to search inside itself (God it sounds like its gonna b a 5 meg swf or something !!)
