flash actionscript:

FindTextIn(_root,'Search Text Goes Here');
function FindTextIn(somePlace,stext){
for(things in somePlace){
if(typeof(things)=='movieclip'){
FindTextIn(somePlace,stext);
}
if(somePlace[things].text != undefined){
if(somePlcae[things].text.indexOf(stext)!=-1){
trace('Text found in textbox: '+somePlace[things]);
}
}
}

That won't work. Try this.

FindTextIn(_root,'Search Text Goes Here');
function FindTextIn(somePlace,stext){
foundSomething = false;
for(things in somePlace){
if(typeof(things)=='movieclip'){
FindTextIn(somePlace,stext);
}
if(somePlace[things].text != undefined){
if(somePlcae[things].text.indexOf(stext)!=-1){
foundSomething = true;
trace('Text found in textbox: '+somePlace[things]);
}
}
}
if(!foundSomething){
trace('Text was not found');
}
}
