New Update: Loading variable from Javascript

[Kortland, Brian]

HI All,


You may recall I had given up on importing variables from a text file and

found that I could use javascript -- documentation is severly lacking!


Well, I have had mixed levels of success. I have been able to set a variable

in Flash from javascript embedded in my page. I simply created a variable

that pointed to my movie flatmap and then used the SetVariable command which

is mapped to my movie clip variable (/Vars:link) and set the variable to

"uwtools"


//<script language="JavaScript">

//<!--

//var movie = window.document.flatmap;

//movie.SetVariable("/Vars:link", "uwtools");

//-->

//</script>


"uwtools" is actually the name of a web page that I want to pass dynamically

to a flash button that activates a hyperlink to the uwtools.htm page. If

this would work I could pass many different variables to access different

pages from my flash interface.


When I run this in IE is works perfectly. Netscape fails. I dig a little

deeper and find the error message "movie contains no properties".


Anyone have any advice?


Regards,
