Spotlight <xml> Features

Introducing Spotlight <xml>

spotlight <xml> is a Flash component for ActionScript 3 that allows you to easily filter any data component based on attribute based XML objects for example Zerofractal tree3D or Yahoo! Astra Tree.

This is an ideal companion for our Tree3D component available here

Our component acts as a Middle-ware between your data an the component you intend to bind it to

Extremely easy to use

Implementing spotlight <xml> is done by simply adding the following code (taking a tree3D as an example):

spotlight.sourceXML = myXML;
function onChange(e:Event){
tree3D.loadXMLData(spotlight.destinationXML);
}
spotlight.addEventListener(spotlightEvent.SPOTLIGHT_CHANGE, onChange, false, 0, true);

Works with Tree3D

spotlight <xml> was designed with tree3D in mind. It can be easily integrated to your existing tree3D projects.

Easy to set up

The component can be set up with only a couple of lines of code.

Real time Spotlight operation

Dynamically searches and filters attribute based hierarchical XML data. The component detects multiple keystrokes so that only one search is performed for a whole word.

Multiple term search

Searches can be refined by typing more than one word, narrowing down results that contain all of the terms.

Control over search fields

Can search every field in the source data or only specific fields

Flexible search

spotlight <xml> can search for terms contained in files (nodes with no children), folders (nodes with children) or both.

Fully skinnable

The following elements can be fully skinned from library symbols:
- Background
- Close button
- Text format.

Efficient

Works on data-sets with thousands of records thanks to the new e4x XML objects.
