RE: FLASH: Dynamic Background color change in Flash

[Eric Dunham]

If you're using frames (like you said you were) then you have to use

parent.frameName or parent.frames[indexNumber]

Subject: FLASH: Dynamic Background color change in Flash



Here's and interesting question for you.


Since the last couple of questions on Flash and the background color of the

main

movie.


I've been seeing if I could get it to dynamically change.


So far I can get the background color of the HTML page to change color

without

reloading it AND I can get the background color of the Flash movie to

change.


However I cannot for the life of me get them to be the same color.


The HTML part is easy it follows the normal HEX & RGB values.


However I just can't seem to get flash to dsiplay the right values.


Question what is the proper syntax of

	parent.window.document.Foo.BackgroundColor


So far I've tried:

	parent.window.document.FlashChangeBGColor.BackgroundColor(255,255,000);

&

	parent.window.document.FlashChangeBGColor.BackgroundColor="255,255,000";


The 1st produces and error that the Object doesn't support... bla bla bla.


The 2nd works... kind of. It produces a color change in the background

color but

never the colors I think it is suppose to. Take the numbers above, they

should

produce the color yellow, but not once could I get it to do so.


So I wonder just what is the proper value you should use when specifying

the color

code for this ?


The only time I've been successful and gotten the proper color change was

when

I used a JavaScript to generate a 5 color array and inputed the value with a

document.write howover this requires a refreshing of the document if a

different

color is desired for the movie.
