does anybody know how to get a search field in Flash MX 2004. I need it to search the webpage content and bring back the results in a new page, just like a search engine.

Thanks, in advance.

Thought I should clarify what it is that I need.  
I am building a site for a newspaper.  
However, the main page is made with flash mx 2004. They have an archive of articles that are in html format that they would like to be searched on by readers.

The search bar needs to be in flash format, but will search the html archives for the key texts. Hope this helps to clarify.

Can anybody help, please!!!

Using applications like php can do the job, I use coldfusion. Enter search key word in database and then pull it of via flash.

Thanks, but I don’t want to get into more coding. Enough with actionscript.  
In the meantime I would have to place a button to take me to another html page where I can search the pages there.

Thanks for the help.
