XML Search
I've got this code to save my feed as a useable list but I want to search the feed and only display those with a certain tag in <media:category>
Code:
private function onResult( event : ResultEvent ) : void { var pattern : RegExp = /media:/; var string : String = event.result as String; while( string.search( pattern ) >= 0 ) { string = string.replace( pattern, "_" ); } var data : XMLList = (new XML( string )).channel.item; list.dataProvider = data; loadingData = false; }
The feed:
Code:
<rss version="2.0">− <channel><title>Pictorio.us Photo Pool</title><link>http://www.flickr.com/groups/399382@N22/pool/</link>− <description><a href="http://www.Pictorio.us">www.Pictorio.us</a> is an interactive guide to digital photography.

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.

What To Search For
This my first post. I would like to try and find the answers to my specific questions via the site knowledge base, but I am unsure of the exact words to use for my search. I am the consumate "gotta figure it myself" person. I want to create a series of text buttonsin a table that when on a mouse rollover or maybe click, another cell in the table shows text. What is this exactly called? I did find a good tutorial that explained the process of making the button and applying actions. I am confused on how to make a series (10-15) of different text buttons to all show at the same time, but only to show the correstponding text when there is a click or rollover in the same seperate table cell.
I hope that I explained that alright. I just need a push in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Search - Is It Possible?
Hi,
I need to know if this is possible or not...
There are 300 (for example) *.jpg and *.txt files like clip1.jpg, clip1.txt, clip2.jpg, clip2.txt....... The *.txt file includes some information like;
clip1.txt
---------
QT=1
&RP=0
&MP=0
&Name=Wales
&Info=Here will be the description of the picture mostly in one paragraph.
-----------
What I need to do is make a search within all those *.txt files and take the result to Flash to show related pictures in Flash. To read all of those *.txt files takes a long time with Flash and I also do not know if it is possible to make a search within the variables in a fast way.
If I make all of them only one file then it will be a *.txt file around 50-60 Kbyte and like;
clips.txt
---------
QT1=1
&RP1=0
&MP1=0
&Name1=Wales
&Info1=Here will be the description of the picture mostly in one paragraph.
QT2=0
&RP2=1
&MP2=1
&Name2=My Cats
&Info2=Here will be the description of the picture mostly in one paragraph.
QT3=0
&RP3=1
&MP3=0
&Name3=White Flowers
&Info3=Here will be the description of the picture mostly in one paragraph.
........
....
.
-----------
What I need to know is if it is possible to use something outside that Flash can get the list of related picture files?
Any ideas or suggestion will be appreciated...
Thank you...

Don't Know How To Search For It...
Here's what I want to do:
Make a test that has multiple choice answers. When the test is completed, the score is totalled and the user sent to a page (explaination of what the score means) based on the value of the score.
I have seen flash movies do this and although I'm asking on the newbie board, I've been using Flash for a couple of years now but only for basic presentation type of movies. In other words, I'm a newbie to this area of flash. Where do I begin looking? I was trying to find a tutorial but I don't know what to look for. OR, if you know how I can do this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Best Way To Search?
Hi there folks
I'm putting together an art history database where users should be able to search all entries for text strings. How would you suggest doing it?
The plan is for each entry to be loaded from external txt files (loadVariables) when called. I wanted to avoid hardcoding all the text in as it will be constantly added to (there are over 100 articles so far), but a search function would be invaluable, so if necessary I'll do it that way.
But I'm sure someone must know a nifty way of doing it...
Any ideas gratefully received
cheers

Hey all
I wrote a search function, to find a single word in a text box ... but I can't seem to figure out how to make it search for the same word in two or more different sections
Example:
"This is some text in my text box ... I want the text word to be searched for and find word 'text' in each instance"
In the above sentance there are 4 instances of the word "text"
When I run my search function it only selects the first instance ... I want to be able to have the function highlight each instance when you click the search button again and again ....
Get it ... its like a normal search engine on the browser ...
code:
startP = text1.indexOf(searchWord);
if(startP != -1){
endP = startP + searchWord.length;
Selection.setFocus(txt1);
Selection.setSelection(startP,endP);
}
Any one have any suggestions ...
I was thinking, I could make a variable that contains the number startP has ... and if the var = startP ... move on to the next set ... as if the first instance doesn't exist ...
I think that might work ... I don't think I really wrote it out in way you can understand ...
thanks for the help

OK we have a problem here. I finally have hitTest down to a point.. However I am trying to make a character move over a certain spot in the map. Once the character hits the spot I want it to go to the next scene! Now the user will control the character using the left right and space keys... I think I have read 20 different pages on hitTest including Macromedias own site. They only offer info on hitTests with a mouse drag which I already know.
So with all of that said the main objective is to have my character walk over a certain point on the map which will make it go to scene 2 (called Level2).... Will someone PLEASE ease this stress on me. I am working for Newgrounds.com and I need to figure out how to do this action. It's driving me crazy! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!

How To Search?
I want to write a flash movie that basically serves as a music player. There is a search bar to search for a band, then a list that displays the available matching bands, then a list that displays the songs for a given band. Each text region has a button. I'm interested in learning how to search with it. Eventually it'll hook up to a database of some kind but for now just the basics would be helpful. Anyone know of any good tutorials?
[CS3] Search With Php
Hi
I'm trying to create a text file database that is searchable in flash and will display the results after the search.
I've read and downloaded the tuturial Search with PHP by Enygma. This is exactly what I am looking for but there seems to be some problems with the script that I can't figure out.
This is the script on the "submit" button: (from the original tutorial)
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if(count){
count=count;
}else{
count=0;
}
c = 5;
text.newoutput = "";
loadVariablesNum ("http://bender.phpdeveloper.org/flash/flash.php?input="+input, 0, "POST");
if(count){
for (a=0; a<5; a++) {
this = "blah"+a;
that = eval(this);
newa=a+1;
text.newoutput = text.newoutput+newa+" - "+that+"
";
}
number = count;
}else{
gotoAndPlay (4);
}
}
and from the PHP:
<?
#printf("foo=this+script+sucks");
$foo=file("stuff.txt");
$number=count($foo);
#printf($number);
$a=0;
$count=0;
$nothing="";
for($i=0;$i<=$number;$i++){
$blah=strstr($foo[$i],$input);
if($blah){
$next=str_replace(" ","+",$foo[$i]);
$next=chop($next);
#$next=str_replace("
","",$next);
$nothing.="blah".$a."=".$next."&";
$a=$a+1;
$count=$count+1;
}
}
printf($nothing."count=".$count);
?>
One thing I noticed is that you have to click on the submit button more than once to retrieve the information
you were searching for. I also noticed that after you attempt a second search for something different the original search results won't clear from the display window. The search seems to be case sensitive which I would like to change and also add a button to go back through the results that were already displayed.
I'm sure the script could be cleaned up some or use something completely differnet, i'm just not that experienced. I'm still in the learning phase with action script and any help would be appreciated. I'm using Flash CS3.

Search Bar And Log-in Bar.
Hello everyone. First off, moderators, I posted this in some older actionscript section by mistake, if you wouldnt mind removing that one or something, that would be great. I should introduce myself but I'm at school with not much time. I will deffinately stay at this forum though, so don't think i just want one answer then I'm outta here.
Anyway, What I'm trying to do is create a 'search bar' and a 'log in bar' in my flash banner. I have Flash 8 Pro and MX 2004 Pro so software isnt an issue. I'm still an amateur at flash but I really wanna get better so any help you may give would be greatly appreciated.
btw, you can see the design I'm talking about HERE. that may help you understand more what I'm talking about.
Thanks,

is there any way to get the handle of the '<media>' tag directly without using the lengthy 'firstChild.childNodes[3].'... etc?
Because its not necessary that the three tags above the <media> tag always remain there.

Search The Map
Dear all,
I am making a map in which i am using a xml to load data in the xml.
a sample xml is
<XML>
<node id="0" x="255" y="205" caption="KKcrossing" ref="0" type="Cinema" linkTo="1_3"/>
<node id="1" x="330" y="220" caption="Sony Outlet" ref="2" linkTo="0_2" />

<node id="15" x="610" y="220" caption="Luxmi Nagar" ref="" linkTo="8_12_13" />
</XML>
in this attributes x, y caption and ref refer to the locatons. Attribute "linkTo" value is array of linked nodes eg in node id=15, liinkTo value is 8_12_13 means it is conneted to node 8, 12, and 13.
Now to find the path i uses this linkTo attribute value and searches for the id of the destination. If it is not found then i uses these ids as refrences and then searches at next level.
I wrote following functions:
//function that evaluates the adjacency of two nodes
//a = reference to first node
//b = reference to second node
function adjacent(a, b) {
if (a == b) {
trace("you are at the destination..");
return;
}
temp = new Array();
temp = mvals.firstChild.childNodes[int(a)].attributes.linkTo.split("_");
for (i=0; i<temp.length; i++) {
if (temp[i] == b) {
trace("adjacent:"+a+":"+b);
return (true);
} else {
return (false);
}
}
}
function showPath(from, dest) {
//listPath array stores the path to be travelled
listPath.push(from);
//resetAll function hides previous path
resetAll();
findPath(from, dest, "");
}
//findPath function accepts three params first two are the ID of the two nodes and third is the id of parent node /previous node
//from where we are coming to the node a.
function findPath(a, b, origin) {
if (adjacent(a, b) && origin == "") {
listPath.push(b);
return;
} else {
//resolve this
for (i=0; i<(mvals.firstChild.childNodes.length); i++) {
temp = new Array();
//mvalsis the XML object that stores data above shwn
temp = mvals.firstChild.childNodes[int(a)].attributes.linkTo.split("_");
for (j=0; j<temp.length; j++) {
if (adjacent(temp[i], b)) {
listPath.push(temp[i]);
return;
} else {
findPath(temp[i], b, a);
}
}
}
}
}
can any one please debug the "findPath" function so that I can use it
Thanks in advance
If required I can send the flas too.

How To Use Search
Use Flash Pro 8. I want to search through all the ActionScript for the document for a variable named GeneratedXML (defined somewhere in the document). 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.
Then how to use or do a search for a text in (the ActionScript) in Flash 8?
Thanks
