RE: FLASH: MAYDAY!! Internal Search Engine Needed MAYDAY!!

[Scott Jeppesen]

Is the entire site flash? What kind of pages are you searching through?

Flash pages? Html pages? If you are searching HTML pages....

I would suggest using something like asp or php. I don't know how your

programming chops are but that is the way I would go.

If you are searching flash pages....

I don't actually know if that's possible unless the searchable text is

coming from a text file and/or database which would require some asp or php

knowledge anyways. Unless you want to buy Generator. But if you could do

that then you wouldn't be worrying about rent and car payments. =)

Hello!


I have a wee bit of a perplexing problem.  I'm at the beginning of building

a rather extensive

Flash site for a medical technology client.  There is a LOT of text,

graphics, and misc. images

throughout the site.  Well, AFTER I started construction, and AFTER we had

discussed

features and functionality, they hit me with a bomb last night.... they want

to be able to search

on the site for a specific key word (the classic text field with a "go"

button).  I initially

responded that this was beyond the scope of the project at which point they

said that the

search button was a deal-breaker... include search capabilities or they take

the early

termination clause in the contract (can you say "rent is due" and "car

payment"?).  So............


Anyway, while I've come up with SOME ideas, I figured I'd post to the Flash

Gods &

Goddesses (absolutely NO sarcasm intended) and see if you all can help me

out!


Thanks in advance...


Patrick
