How to search / find text in a table of data displayed in adobe flash player?

I have a table of data displayed on browser but with Adobe Flash Player UI technology. Ctrl + f is not working on the table to find a specific word in the table.


Wondering what are the alternates? or any other shortcuts are available to do search or find text in such case?

Thanks.

There's no good workaround.  The developer would have needed to implement similar functionality in their Flash-based application, or they would have needed to use StageText (which basically exposes native textfields), but it sounds like they did neither.  The HTML textfield is definitely more robust and functional than Flash's, and honestly, HTML is probably a better technology choice for what you're describing.

Thanks a lot.. for the response. We are planning a HTML based UI for the requirement. Flash UI was provided by Adobe and obviously it's useless.
