to start, do you know how to load and parse xml?

if not, check the urlloader class.

thanks for replay

i`m familiar to load xml data and text but i dont have any clue about how simulate a search engine and how add eventlistender and gotoAnd function to every of them

[kglad]

use a textfield listener function to check the user's input and check that against your keywords in your xml.  unless you have a very small number of keywords, it's impractical to use goto.  you should use code to change the display based on the keyword matched.

thanks dear kglad ...

i will try , it seems i must learn more about textfield listener and xml

[kglad]

oh, you have a lot more than that to learn.  but you should start with loading and parsing xml.  then continue with the textfield listener and finally you'll need to use the flash string and possibly array methods.
