[Flashr] simple tag search

[Kelvin Luck]

Hi,

I've attached a copy of the AS file from the simple search example with
a very minor change. There is now a function called "doSearch" which
starts the whole search process running...

If you open up the fla you will see there is a small dot in the top left
hand corner. This is an instance of "FlashrSimpleSearch" and is
associated in the library with the class
com.kelvinluck.flashr.example.FlashrSimpleSearch. This basically means
that the actionscript in the FlashrSimpleSearch.as file is basically all
in this clip. (that's not a very good description - I'd recommend Colin
Moock's EAS2 [1] as an introduction to AS2 and classes etc).

Basically, if you give that clip on the stage an instance name (lets say
"simpleSearch") then from the timeline you would be able to do:

simpleSearch.doSearch("your,tags");

Hope that helps,

Kelvin :)
