I know this has been discussed before, but the only sample/example showing how to do search in SWF files produced by PDF2SWF is no longer offline. So I was wondering if there is an simple example on how I can add search functionality to my SWF files? I have been trying my luck with Flex 3 and SWFLoader, sadly even example posted on Adobe Flex 3 reference manual doesn't work. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/Working_with_Text_18.html Tried both Flex 3, Flash 9 with all kinds of textfields and types.
