Finding _x and _y coordinates of a word within a string

1.finding char/string _x and _y in a text field

I having a bit of an emergency and am trying to find out if this is even 
possible.  Does anyone know if there is a way to find the _x and _y position of 
a specific character/string in a text field.  So, if I have an HTML formatted 
text field with PRINTIMAGE somewhere in it I want to be able to find the 
position of PRINTIMAGE and attach a movie clip to the stage at those 
coordinates.

2._x and _y coordinate question

Hello:

 I have a movieclip that is navigated by buttons to various _x and _y 
coordinates. When the user clicks on "button 1" is takes them to a specified 
area, then when the user clicks "button2" is takes them to another area. 
However, the pathway is a straight line between the two. 

 I would like the "path" to negotiate a determined route, (such as a curved or 
"S" shaped route). Is it possible to put a series of _x and _y coordinates into 
the onClipEvent then the final _x and _y coordinate for a final destination, 
(Similar to waypoints in a GPS).

 If so, is there a simple way that "people that know what they are doing" 
calculate  _x and _y coordinates within a movieclip?

 Regards,

 Stephen

4.absolute or relative _x/_y coordinates

Hello friends,

allrite here it goes. 

I have three clips.

Lets call'em: clip0,clip1 and clip2

clip1 is INSIDE clip0

clip2 and clip0 are on the same level. How do allign clip2 to clip1?

So what I do need to find out I guess, is how I do retrieve the _x and _y coordinates of clip1 relative to the _root stage?

did this make sense? I sure hope so

thanks a lot, any help or pointers are wastly appreciated

5.Need to find a word within a string

Hi Brian,

Please try to send once

I type it here so watch typos
dim test as integer
dim TestString as string = "One Tow ICE Three"

When the case is not important
test =  TestString.tolower.IndexOf("ice")
if test <> -1 then
    test = TestString.tolower.IndexOf("nc")
end if
if test <> -1 then
  '  it exist
end if

When it are more you can first make an array and when it are a lot more use
REGEX.
When it has to be Upercase than remove that tolower and the test in Upercase

I hope this helps?
