RE: FLASH: control flash

[Eric Dunham]

First and foremost, I love almost all of MM's products, but the built-in

functions for Dreamweaver, etc. are *horrid*. I for one, prefer to have

functional as well as readable code, not to mention the fact that the code

is almost always extremely bloated and they can't use meaningful variable

names worth anything.

Actually, now that I think about it, I can't stand any MM I've ever seen

come out of Dreamweaver, and I've always had to rewrite them... *sigh*

Now that that's over...


I've made some commented  changes to the code, and you can see if that

works, or you can email me offlist and let me know exactly what you're

trying to do and I'll see if I can't come up with something.


HTH,

<snip content="cleaned up">

I am using a mouse event to control a flash movie.


JS:


function MM_findObj (n, d) {

	var p,i,x;

	if (!d) d = document;

	if ((p = n.indexOf("?")) > 0 && parent.frames.length) {

		d = parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document;

		n = n.substring(0,p);

	}

	if ( !(x = d[n]) && d.all) x=d.all[n];

	for (i=0; !x && i < d.forms.length; i++){

		x=d.forms[i][n];

	}

	//if ( !x && d.layers) x=d.layers[n];

	for (i=0; !x && d.layers && i<d.layers.length; i++){

		x = MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);

		//x = MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i]);

	}

	return x;

}


function MM_controlShockwave(objStr,x,cmdName,frameNum) {

	var obj = MM_findObj(objStr);

	if (obj) eval('obj.' + cmdName + '( '+ ((cmdName=='GotoFrame')?frameNum:'')

+ ')');

}


EVENT:


onClick="MM_controlShockwave('0','','GotoFrame','10');"

...

This works perfectly fine in IE, but not in netscape.  Any Ideas?  I am

testing in netscape 4.7
