RE: [flasher] Get URL with Flash in Parent Window

[Paul Willoughby]

You just need to translate the href example into a Flash getURL. Put the

function in the head of the child window. The instead of using the href for

an html page (i.e. <a href="javascript:loadinparent('http://www.moock.org/',

false);">my homepage</a>) put the action on a button, for example:


on(release){

	getURL("javascript:loadinparent('http://www.moock.org/', false");

}


Make sure there is nothing set as the target window of the getURL. You might

need to double check the syntax but it should work OK.
