RE: FLASH: Telling a pop up window .swf file what frame to go to...

[Tom Wolfe]

Having a heck of a time accomplishing this... Tried setting a variable with

a button then calling a javascript to open a new window then sending the

variable to be picked up by the javascript on the new window to go to the

frame wanted once all frames are loaded. The new javascript isn't picking up

the variable sent and I'm not sure how to get with the new windows

javascript (or if it's possible for that matter)... Button code is:


On (Release)

      Set Variable: "Test" = 6

      Get URL ("javascript:doitNewsRoom()", vars=POST)

End On


If I can grab the variable "Test" with the javascript of my pop-up window

I'm off to the races... 


Can anyone help me a bit?


Thanks.


Tom

yes but you will need to be sure the movie has loaded to the targeted 

frame, otherwise the JS "go-to) cannot succeed. Might need a 

cross-communication: loading movie loops in a few blank frames while it 

uses "if frame is loaded" to determine if the (potentially) targeted frame 

is ready, then uses FS Command to trigger the JS function that calls the 

appropriate frame. This way you could name the JS function the same but 

modify it in different contexts (different pop-up windows) to make Flash go 

to different frames.
