I dont remmember this but there was a thread about how to use a search bar done by flash and uses google search engine to search after pressing the search button. this thread is maybe at the wrong place but, I allready tried the kirupaforum search, but did not find my answer. I have done this before but I lost my files after the virus...

thanks ;)

whadya mean, launching google from flash; well make a google search, i called mine 'a search' (in the search box)

the page launches to: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=a+search

which means only the bold part counts

so if you have a search box in flash, then all ya have to do is:


on(release){
getUrl("_blank","http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="+textboxvariable
}

you'd have to make a little function that chnages spaces to + signs...

You mean like the Google Webservice? I'm just looking at a site that offers a free app on using webservices like google. Check it out --> http://www.flash-db.com/Soap/ (I'm not so sure if it would take you directly to the file. Try to look for it in their links.) Their app is called Floogle and they used Flash MX, PHP and NuSoap. Really neat stuff! :thumb:

Now that is awesome comicGeek :)

Not as good as google (since google combines all similar links into an area and you can click on that link to view all similar links, but this one just shows all similar links), but neat anyway.

Though not as powerful at least you can keep your site visitors on your fash site even if they want to do a search! :beam:
