FLASH: Controlling F4 w/javascript

[Gahlord Dewald]

Hey all,


So I'm trying to get a rollover in one part of an HTML doc to create a light-up

effect in a swf. I already realize that this can't work in IE for the Mac

(bummer). I got it working fine in NS but IE PC is giving me some troubles.


Here's some code, and thanks in advance to whomever bails me out. As always,

free beer in Vermont.


Swf Code:


<!--______________FLASH_________________//-->

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"

ID=rvr_nav_r4_1 WIDTH=203 HEIGHT=410>

<PARAM NAME=movie

VALUE="rvr_nav.swf?reststate=/rest/restmain&state=/sauce&saucestate=/sauce/bbq&reststate=/rest/restmain"><PARAM

NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noborder><PARAM NAME=salign

VALUE=LT><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#330000>

<EMBED

src="rvr_nav.swf?reststate=/rest/restmain&state=/sauce&saucestate=/sauce/bbq&reststate=/rest/restmain"

quality=high scale=noborder salign=LT bgcolor=#330000 WIDTH=203 HEIGHT=410

NAME=movie SWLIVECONNECT=true TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"

PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED></OBJECT>


Javascript:


<!--_______________________PASS VARIABLES_______________//-->

<script language = "JavaScript"><!--

function garlicon(){

    window.document.movie.SetVariable("garlic", "1");

}

function garlicoff(){

    window.document.movie.SetVariable("garlic", "0");

}

//--></script>



Specific questions/ideas:


1. "ID=rvr_nav_r4_1" should be changed to "movie" right?

2. Do I have to do anything different with the javascript? All the help files

etc start talking about NS and IE reading Javascript differently etc and my

javascript is fairly crumby so a pointer here would be grand.


Thanks much,

g
