Good day fellows, is it possible in flash that search field will display relevant data in search. Like in google. Every time you type word in the field it will give some sort of pull down menu that is related to your tag. I have attached file for clarify of what im trying to describe…

thanks a lot…

It’s possible but it’s a lot of work and it’s very demanding on the server (that’s why we only see it big sites). I did something similar, but it didn’t envolved searching on-the-fly. The “trick” is to use the onChange event of the TextField class. Check it out on the Manual.
