FLASH: Re: javascript and variables

[M T]

there is definitely a javascript play command - search the macromedia flash

support site for "javascript" and you'll get a list of commands. 


if the variable you are trying to pass is one of a known set (say you have

var1, var2, var3, and it has to be one of those) a quick and dirty way to do it

would be to send the flash movie to a label (say "setVar1") that sets that for

you).  Otherwise you'll have to muck around a bit more. 


I'm looking at a project I finished a few weeks ago though, and noticing (I

barely remember it as this point), that there is also a setVariable command,

and I was able to use it to set variables in a flash movie. In another frame

even.  I don't remember where I found this info, but if you poke around the

macromedia site, you should be able to locate it.  I seem to remember

www.flashzone.com being valuable as well.
