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.

[F8] Scripting An Xml Search & Retrieve
What I'm trying to do is load some XML, then search it from top to bottom, stopping on a state that I choose - Montana, in this example - and populate a few dynamic textboxes with the data I find there. Below is my attempt at the actionscript but this is a bit out of my league! I can't make it work. I'm sure this is easy for y'all, but my boss will kill me if I spend another day on this!
code:
peoplexml = new XML();
peoplexml.load("contacts/states.xml");
peoplexml.onLoad = loadXML;
peoplexml.ignoreWhite = 1;

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var mainnode:XMLNode = peoplexml.firstChild;
var peoplenodes:Array = peoplexml.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < peoplenodes.length; i++) {
var personnode:XMLNode = peoplenodes[i];
if (mainnode:XMLNode = "montana") {
my_function();
}
}
}
else {
trace('error reading XML');
}
}

function my_function() {
sdm.text = personnode[i].attributes.name;
email.text = personnode[i].attributes.email;
phone.text = personnode[i].attributes.phone;
}

My XML file that is broken up by states like this:
code:
<wyoming>
<sdm name="Joe Schmo"
phone="123-1235"
email="joe@123.com">
</sdm>
</wyoming>
<montana>
<sdm name="Brenda Daniels"
phone="123-1236"
email="daniels@us.costa.it">
</sdm>
</montana>

Thanks for taking a look...

Search Engine Help
I'm trying to get my flash site picked up by a search engine.
I'm aware that I have to make <meta tags with keywords in them for search engines to pick up the site in notepad html. I'm just wondering whether it's the same for flash. Do I just add the tags and keywords into the published html file? Could someone please advise me. Many thanks in advance.

I have a large image gallery that is simply organized in a folder structure in Win2k. Is it possible to create a search engine and Flash interface so that I can search for an image using keywords and have the thumbnails come up in in the interface. I guess the question I'm asking is-is it possible to create an image browser using flash?
Thanks
Andy

Is This A Possible Search-engine?
Hi all, need some thoughts on this one before I begin...

Let's say I have a flashmovie with 400 different brands, each brand has there own page (frame) in my flashmovie to show contactaddress etc.

That means a lot of frames and work ;-)

Now if that is finished and I'd labeled all frames with the corresponding brandname, can I make a simple search-engine for that? I am thinking about a inputfield where you could type a brandname, and then in actionscript a GotoAndPlay action that will use the variablename of the textfield to jump to the right frame?

Will it work? Or will it crash because of too many frames/labels?

I cannot find something similar, and don't have any experience with real database files etc.

Hope to get some tips about if it's a good (enough) way or maybe suggestions for a better one! Thanks.

Search Engine
hi evrybody,

I'm having problems with my search engine.

I created this search engine in Flash in the header of the site that comunicate with the "Html" site that seen beneath.

The site shows 2 languages: English & Hebrew.

When i'm searching a word in English it works perfect. The word i have written is found/notfound by the "Html" site.
The problem starts when i'm clicking the search word in Hebrew. In the search engine field the Hebrew letters are shown correctly. But after i click on the search button the "Html" site replays in jibrish letters! ( "The word &^%@(*& is not found").

this is the code i worte:

}
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
getURL("http://www.wingate.org.il/site/he/wingate.asp", "", "GET");
}

Is it connected to "GET" or "POST"? Is the server type influence it?
Any help at evry direction will help me.

Thanks ahead

Search Engine Help..
HI Flash folks,

Could someone out there help me out.
I've made a splash html page to start my flash site. I've been told that the spiders from the search engines can not read a flash file so thats why I'm using a html page to start. Is this right?.
I've listed the index splash page to Google about 3 weeks now and still it does not show on the listings. What i'm i doing wrong?.
Could you look through the source file on the splash page and see if or where I'm going wrong...

More About Search Engine
another question about search engines in flash... Could you drop an existing search engine like Google into flash and have it reference PDF files that are in the flash project? I've searched all over the net and found how flash can do little searches for dynamic text, but i need it to search PDF files and give me instances where the phrases appear, like Google's search results page. I'm going to have around 700 pages in the project, i just need an easy way to search through them via words or phrases.

Search Engine SDK Help
Howdy,
I can get the swf2html.exe app to extract text from the sample .swf... but I can't get it to extract text from my own swf files. Is there some setting I must change before I publish a swf file in order for the swf2html app to work correctly? Can the swf not be compressed? Can it not be protected from import? Does the text need to be dynamic? Does the text need to be "selectable"? I just thought it would extract any text, no matter if it is dynamic or static or an input text field (with an initial value).

Thanks!
