I’ll make the fla available when I have some free time to get the code more readable (I can’t remember how I did it, funny).

I checked it out, and am impressed that you can actually make a realistic search engine with Flash. Well done!

Constructive Criticism
– it is slow to initialize, maybe parse all at once and then save in a local so?
– the flash doesn’t have focus, so even though the text field has the cursor in it, add the javascript “window.focus();” method
– the search results open a new browser; maybe have it launch in the parent window?
– the links to “who” made it (you), should maybe do the same (link to the parent) if the parent is the same as your site, and then bring it to focus

Overall, I’m impressed man, good job!

Take a look at the search-app at my site and let me know if you will be interested (no money needed).
