How can I create a SEARCH feature? Help please

1

Hi, is there anybody that can tell me how to create a search feature to search within a movie?

Imagine scene 1 frame 1 of my movie has a search box (which I don’t know how to do) and I have a picture in scene 2 frame 14, another in scene 3 frame 10 and another in scene 4 frame 17.

I want to be able to do a search, let’s say, for the number 532 and as a result be taken to the scene and frame where my first picture is (scene 2 frame 14), then if I do a search for the number 568, as a result, be taken to the scene and frame where my second picture is (scene 3 frame 10) and if I do a search for the number 599, as a result, be taken to the scene and frame where my third picture is (scene 4 frame 17). As an addition to this, let’s say that I write a number that doesn’t exist, I should be taken to an error screen, let’s say that this error screen is at scene 5 frame 1.

This way it will work as a search feature to reach a specific scene-frame quickly by doing a search for a specific term (number).

What I need is to know how to create the search box and it’s trigger button (including the actions that should be applied)

Hope I explain myself well since I really need the help.

Thanks for your time and I hope I can get help from you.

Montoya told you where to look, i think that it means its gonna be a challenge. its a mix of PHP and actionscripting and that could take a while if you dont understand them
