FLASH: Controling movie from javascript: revisited

[Sergio Santos]

Well, I started a thread about controlling a movie with javascript. I got it

working as I needed with IE, but something is wrong with Netscape.


For those with some patience here's the code:

(between head tags)

//

function update(moldeid,frame) {

var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;

var movie = InternetExplorer ? window.main : window.document.main;

movie.SetVariable('mould_id',moldeid);

movie.GotoFrame(frame);

}

//

This function works fine with IE, i can control the movie, i have the frame

12 (with javascript the first frame is 0),  setting a variable in the movie

that lets me know the link went ok.

The php code that triggers the movie is:

(I have data being feed from mysql) then I do:

$mouldref.="<b><A

HREF=\"javascript:update('".$row[0]."','11');\">".$row[6]."</A></b>\r"


(Translated to html it is something like


<A HREF="javascript:update('123123','11');>description</A>)


This variable is introduced in a dinamic text field in Flash 5, works fine

in IE, in Netscape, the link appears, it's clickable, but the action

(gotoframe,setvariable) is not executed properly.


All this has php+mysql in it, but the problem is not from there, I can

assure that.


In Netscape i'm not able to get that working. I may be missing some stupid

thing, like some ' or something. I'm getting fed-up with this IE-Netscape

differences, what may I be missing here? I'm the kind of those that read all

the documentation, I spent a lot of time reading Netcenter javascript docs,

but no go...


Any javascript gurus out there with code working with netscape controlling

flash movies (Setvariable, gotoframe, etc) would help!.


Thanks a ton


Sergio
