Subject: FLASH: Onload event interfering with DHTML Hierarchial menus
From: john duffy

Hi everyone. I have a bit of a major problem at the moment. I have
a flash countdown clock which uses javascript fscommand to link into
the movie and set the number of days to a certain date. It works by
calling three functions in the body tag which are activated by an
onload event i.e.
<body onLoad="goones(),gohundreds(),gotens()">
which in turn determines the numbers that have to be set in the flash
movie, please see http://www.mediumlook.com/~krash/counter2.html
(developed by Michael Krisher) for an example of what im talking
abutmaybe you could also look at the code to get an idea of what im
talking about.

Right next to the problem. I am placing this flash banner clock on
the company intranet, however in testing i have found out that the
DHTML menus which pull out when you click on them to show sub menus,
do not render properly i.e. they do not pull out to show sub menus.
However they do work whenever i take out the onload events for the
functions as outlines above.

Therefore the problem lies with onload event. My boss tells me that
since the menu system is also event driven there is conflict between
the two events

You can find the code for the menus that we are using at
http://webreference.com/dhtml/column21/ to give an idea of whats
going on.

Is there any way around this problem people, is there anything i can
tweak in the dhtml code to allow for the two onload events. Can i do
an onload in the html page without it being in the body tags???

I really hope someone can help me out here as i spent along time on
the flash movies and they may have to be scraped if i cant get this
problem sorted....

would be very appreciative and grateful if someone can help here.

Thanks in advance....
john
