FLASH: Communicating between HTML and Flash

[Thorsten Schmiedel]

Hello FellowFlashers,


I have a problem here;


I'd like to turn off the background sound in a flash-file when a specific

new browser-window is launched. the flash file is embedded in one of several

html-files in a frameset... now, the popup-window (in which I have a

quicktime with sound, that's why I'd like to turn off the background-sound

in the flash-file) is launched via an html-link in one of the other

html-files in the frameset. I got it running with an onBlur-command, but

then, the sound stopped also when I clicked into one of the other frames...

So I guess the best way to manage this whole thing is to tell the flash to

stop the loop when the popup-window gets focus..... and now this (after this

hopefully not too confusing intro) is exactly my prob:

Can anyone point me in the right direction how to communicate between an

html-file in one browser-window and a swf in another window?


Danke sch�n,



Thorsten
