RE: FLASH: Re: javascript and flash variables

[Branden Hall]

The way I do it, don't have to check if the movie is loaded... :-)

I have the Flash movie, once it is loaded, run an FScommand and a STOP

action. The FScommand triggers the cookie to be loaded by calling another JS

function. That JS function then uses a setVariable method call to set the

flash variable and then tells the movie to continue playing.

Hey -


I've done some work with javascript and flash - it seems to me that you will

have to use javascript, unless you want to use a small persistent frame with

a

flash movie in it to store and pass the info.


since flash can't read cookies though, and you already have a cookie

solution

in place, it seems the easiest thing is just to have javascript read the

cookie

back and pass it to the flash movie.


which brings up another question I have had recently - in an event like

this,

where data is being passed to a flash movie from javascript, how are people

testing to see that the flash movie is loaded to pass the variable?
