I am doing some application on flash that uses an XML file to store

This application has a search form. I understand how to get through
the xml
by loops but i can't figure out how to get flash to know if this
"word" is
included within the xml nodes or not... Any simple idea?
The steps would be something like this:
1. get all the nodes which might contain the word (probably as an array)
2. loop through the array, getting the string from each text node
3. use String.strpos to see if the word is present.
Which step is giving you trouble? My code would look something like this:
import com.xfactorstudio.xml.xpath.*;
function findInXML(rootNode:XMLNode, target:String):Boolean
{
var nodeArray:Array = XPath.selectNodes(rootNode, "xpathQuery");
for (var i:Number = 0; i < nodeArray.length; i++)
{
if (nodeArray[i].nodeValue.strpos(target) != -1)
{
return true;
}
}
}
And there you go. The XPath query would be something like
"parentNode/childNode/text()".
