Re: FLASH: Flash's Limits

[Samir]

Hi,


I think this is what Philip was trying to say. He has done a backward

compatability from Javascript from a page of HTML in another frame. If you

look at his example clearly, he is quite right. He has managed to work

around running multiple commands from an HTML page to control movie clips on

a flash movie in the next frame.


Quite nice effect by the way Philip. I m sure this could go a long way from

here into making pages totally interactive with each other. people wont be

able to tell the difference of what is going on between a page of Flash n

HTML on seperate frames!


Sam,
