Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to have a search button in a flash movie to be able to search text in some external PDF files.

For example, I have a flash movie main.swf and 10 pdf files in a sub directory, could it be possible to search all these PDFs for a particular text and load it?

I am kinda clueless ont his one, but very curious.

Thank you  
A
