Can you search for keywords in an fla?

**boe_d** · 08-01-2002, 02:19 AM

Is there a way to search an entire fla including all the movieclips to find the occurences of specific words in the actionscripts? Say for example I changed the export name of a movie - how would I track all the actionscripts that might call upon that movie?

hi buddy,

I can suggest you a workaround.

Open the movie explorer and choose Actionscript alone.

In the panel menu of the movie explorer window chose copy the script to clipboard.
Paste the code in notepad or word. search for the words.
Then go to that point in the FLA and change it...

its a workaround not a solution though...

in the movie explorer panel on TOP

"Show " is there you got to click A for actions and make sure other options are not selected......

good luck
