Re: FLASH: Calling flash files within html frames

[Pete Benedict]

Mark,


You could use the FSCommand, JavaScript and the built-in Flash methods to

control a Flash movie in one HTML frame with another Flash movie in another

frame. Essentially, you send an FSCommand to the browser, where a JavaScript

function is used to call a Flash method that targets the Flash movie in the

other frame.


To go to a particular frame label in the Flash movie in the other HTML frame,

for example, you could use the

TGotoLabel method. For a list of all the Flash 4 methods, see:

As I noted in a previous posting, there's a nice demo in the goodies folder

of the CD that came with your Flash 4 application (assuming you got that and

didn't DL the app) that shows how this is done. Sub-folder is called

"JavaScript Demo." It's a piece about the Hawaiian Islands.


Your Flash-JavaScript evangelist,


Pete Benedict
