Re: FLASH: controling movie navigation with javascript, problem

[Matt Wobensmith]

Hi Roger -


A couple of things are wrong in your code.


1. You have "/internat2.swf" as the ID of the movie in the page. You need to

take out the forward slash here, as well as the ".swf" part - the name of

the SWF in this tag must match the name and path specified in your

JavaScript function. 


2. The path to the object/method in the function itself is also wrong -

don't include the ".swf" extension. It should read:


function clicking(){document.internat2.Gotoframe(5);}


3. Your NAME parameter from the EMBED tag also has the wrong info - should

be identical to the name after the ID parameter in the OBJECT tag -

"internat2". 


4. If this is to play a frame as soon as the page loads, you can't expect

the movie to be loaded in time for the JavaScript event to execute. Calls to

a frame that isn't loaded will fail. 



Not to sound overwhelming, but you should study the JavaScript methods a bit

more before going any further. These are very fundamental issues.


Matt
