Does anyone have an idea of searching a text from DOC file and then retrieving the same information and displaying it in a page. These have to be done in Flash. Anybody have the code for the search in flash ?

Thanks,
Kishore
 
Do you mean a Word .DOC?

You can't complete that kind of search directly from flash, you are going to have to use a server side intermediary between Flash and the Data. ASP or .NET would probably be the best.

So the flow would be Flash is your front end (form), the ASP page processes the search parameters and executes them against the DOC, then the ASP page returns the results as a name/value pair to the Flash movie for display.

Is that a process you can execute?
