Re: FLASH: Talking Swf's

[Pete Benedict]

Mark,


Take a look in the goodies folder of the CD-ROM that came with the Flash 4

application. There's a JavaScript Demo folder containing an example of how

a Flash navigation bar in one frame can send FSCommands to the browser,

from which JavaScript and a special set of Flash methods can be used to

target and control a SWF in another frame. It also shows how from HTML

links in a third frame you can use those methods (FSCommand not needed) to

target a SWF in another frame and control it.


To go to a particular frame label in Flash, for example, you could use the

TGotoLabel method. For a list of Flash methods, see:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash4/scriptingwithflash4_03.html


Also, there's a short tutorial near the end of the new Flash 4 Bible that

talks about using Flash with JavaScript and DHTML, which provides info

along the same lines.


cheers,


Pete Benedict
