RE: FLASH: Assigning an URL to dynamic text

[Vinh Tran]

Randy:


I was able to fix my problem.  I had to use the eval() method to get the

urlX and messageX to work.  However, I have a different problem that you may

be able to help me with.


I am trying to send variables from javascript and have the flash player call

FSCommand to retrieve these variables.  I am calling FSCommand on the main

timeline on the first frame.  I have confirmed that the FSCommand works but

the SetVariable method doesn't seem to be working for me.  These variables

are also used in the main timeline.  Do I need to have the variables already

defined in Flash before using SetVariable?  If so, where do I define these

variables.


Here's some pseudo-code....


function test_DoFSCommand(command, args) {

	var testObj = InternetExplorer ? test : document.test;


	if (command == "loadMessages") {

		testObj.SetVariable("count", "2");

		testObj.SetVariable("message0", "This is message 1");

		testObj.SetVariable("message1", "This is message 2");

	}

}

Vinh,


I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you want to dynamically tie the URL

to

the message, you can variable-ize the number so your variable names become

"messagex" and "urlx" where x is a numeric variable.


If you're just trying to make links within the text, HTML would be the easy

way.

What formatting problems are you having?


HTH,

Randy
