You need a separate script (php will do, but whatever) that will do
the query for you, then turn the results into either XML or a collection =
of
variables, which your Flash movie can then display.

If you're not a systems programmer, then:
a) you probably can't do it by yourself.
b) be glad.

Flash can't process the results of an arbitrary HTML 'get' by itself =
(from
Google, or from anywhere else).

Stay cool, James. It was a nice idea.

(Actually, the more I think about this, the better the idea becomes. I =
could be tempted into writing a converter. Late at night & unpaid. Is it =
worth it ? Fame is it's own reward, but I've moved beyond doing things =
just for myself).

you can make a call to search from flash but not display result as flash is not
HTML browser and will not be able to display 80 % of what's on the page.

Google do provide a programmer's interface to their engine (already =
posted). Unless you want to shell out moolah, it's for personal use =
only, and (more importantly) they say: "You may not take the results =
from a Google search and reformat and display them".

What else would you want to do with them, then ?
