Re: FLASH: Javascript help

[Neal Cabage]

Sorry  - I wrote that quickly and wasn't clear.


1. MSIE for Mac does not support FS commands.

2. MSIE for PC *does* support FScommands *but* you can't just use the

Javascript routine that you would normally use to grab the FScommand event

from Flash.  You have to also embed a client-side Vbscript function that

points to the JavaScript routine.  In MSIE on PC, it's that VBscript that

actually grabs the event from Flash.


As for calling the JavaScript from Flash, the only way I would know to do

that, is to you an FS command, in which case this would be relevant?  I was

just saying it's something to think about if so.  Thus, I suggested keeping

this functionality within Flash whenever possible to avoid those annoying

workArounds and slight incompatibilities.


I hope that was a bit more clear.  ;-)

Well, I thought I was doing ok, until Neal threw in some additional

information to confuse me.  It's ok, I'm easily confused.  :-/


No, I wasn't using FScommand.... I was just using a javascript in my main

html page so that my swf could call it to open a new window with specific

attributes by using


javascript:function(args)


in the GetURL.


Now, are there browsers that don't handle this?  Or were you thinking I was

doing something else.
