OK, I tried this out, but I get a compile-time error
"Warning: test is not a recognized method of the dynamic class RegExp."
The code I have is:
var re:RegExp = new RegExp("^" + searchInput.text);
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = _model.help.helpData.xml..*.topic.*.(
re.test(attribute("title")));
trace("searchResult: " + xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
(note, _model.help.helpData.xml is the location of the loaded XML)
