You should have had a look to the mailing list archives before asking ;-) that said, here there is my ActionScript code to highlight the text inside a PDF page. It works with Flash 8 or previous ONLY because the new Flash 9 has a different AVM interpreter (AVM2) and many things have changed. Please note: - ``txt`` is the text to search and highlight inside your page - ``mc`` points to _root.text that's where I was keeping my swf/pdf page you should change that so it references yours. Here is the code: function hltext ( txt ) { var mc = _root.text; var my_snap:TextSnapshot = mc.getTextSnapshot(); var start_pos:Number = 0; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); while ( start_pos > 0 ) { trace ( start_pos ); my_snap.setSelected( start_pos, start_pos + txt.length, true ); start_pos += txt.length; start_pos = my_snap.findText ( start_pos, txt, false ); } } Have fun!
