help with making a search engine in lingo

[3Y3]

So far I have a simple search that checks a certain set of members (31 to 83) for a string and It returns a list of any members that contain the string in an alert (ie member 34, member 45...). This is working fine but its not what I need.

I need to have it search the members for the string and if it finds a match then it will return a link to another frame/lable in the movie (such as if the member "products" contains the string, return a link (write it inside a field object) that when clicked will go to the frame that the member appears in (or at least it's sprites appear in).

How can i check for what frames/framelables a members sprite is in (keep in mind i only know the members number and not any sprite information at this point in the search)

I've tried using the getFrameLable but that needs the frame number, so its not gonna help me. Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced...

actually lets make this simple.
Is there a way I can get a list of all sprites that are instances of a certain cast member (ie: find all sprites created from cast member 36)?
