FLASH: Talking to non Flash frames

[Jeff Bradshaw]

Rather than just say "I dunno" I thought I'd take a shot at this.

Unfortunately there is no "site" to view, so this is somewhat rhetorical

in nature. I've come into this project late and the request the "coder"

has come up with is ...

"Can Flash talk to the javascript in a header frame from the body frame?


In a 3 frame layout I produced a teaser Flash screen that sits in the

body frame. The left and header frames have already been built with

gif's and HTML. The header frame runs through a sequence showing the

selection and deselecting of gif buttons using javaScript. The coder

wants to show a button highlighting in the header frame (non Flash) and

have it load a .swf in the body and so on in a loop. I've read the doc

and it seems like it's possible if everything is built with Flash, but,

I'm just feeling a little brain dead now... I know I can call the

JavaScript using the

FS command but how do I keep track of which button I'm highlighting  in

the header? ... Is there a tutorial ?
