4.  Add the ActionScript functions that handle these events. The code in Listing 3 does some interface work like enabling and disabling components while the search is in progress. Most importantly it iterates through the results returned from Google, formats them using HTML, and displays them in the txtResults TextArea instance (make sure you set txtResults' HTML parameter to true in the Component Inspector to display the HTML properly). If you want to change the data or formatting, consult the Web Services panel to see the output parameter schema returned from the doGoogleSearch operation.

on (click) {

	var onGoogleSearch = function()
	{
		// Show the barber pole and disable search
		_root.application.frmSearch.frmLoading.visible = true;
		this._parent.txtResults.text = "";
		this._parent.lblSearchTime.text = "";
		this.enabled = false;
		this._parent.txtQuery.enabled = false;
	}

	var onGoogleSearchResult = function()
	{
		var res = this._parent.GoogleSearch.results.resultElements; // shorthand
		for (var i = 0; i < res.length; i++)
		{
			var s = "";
			s += "<a href=\"" + res[i].URL + "\"><font
			 size=\"+1\"color=\"#0000FF\"><u>" + res[i].title +
			  "</u></font></a><br>";
			s += res[i].snippet + "<br>";
			if (res[i].summary != "") { s += "<font
			 color=\"#999999\">Description:</font>" + res[i].summary + "<br>"; }
		s += "<a href=\"" + res[i].URL + "\"><font color=\"#009900\"><u>" +
		 res[i].URL + </u></font></a> - " + res[i].cachedSize;
		s += "<br><br>";
			this._parent.txtResults.text += s;
		}

		// Hide the barber pole and reenable the search
		_root.application.frmSearch.frmLoading.visible = false;
		this.enabled = true;
		this._parent.txtQuery.enabled = true;
	}

	// Trigger Data Source Behavior
	// Macromedia 2003
	this._parent.GoogleSearch.addEventListener("send", onGoogleSearch);
	this._parent.GoogleSearch.addEventListener("result", onGoogleSearchResult);
	this._parent.GoogleSearch.trigger();

}

Now try out some Google searches!
