While there's nothing wrong with the solution Rebecca provided... there is
another way.
Instead of having Director keep checking whether the sprite (with the Flash
content) is done... you could--from inside Flash TELL Director that it's
done. Rebecca's solution is a case of Director talking to Flash --well,
more like Director asking for information.
The solution is a case of Flash talking to Director.
In an action of the Flash movie simply place a "GetURL" and in the space
which normally contains the actual url address type:
lingo:whatever
Replace "whatever" with either a direct call to Director (like "Go to the
frame +1" or "halt") or to a direct call to a custom function (like
"flashDone()"). The second option requires you actually have a handler
"flashDone" in the Director movie.
Her solution does allow for one thing--you don't have to re-touch any of the
.swfs. But my solution provides the potential for each swf to send a
parameter or different message to Director.
