Control Flash from HTML (k)
I have a button in HTML that I want to use to control the
flash on the
page it sits on.
When the button is rolled over, I want to pass a variable to
the Flash
movie so that something happens.
How can I do this in Dreamweaver?
-Kirk
It's a stupid way of doing it, but I got it to work using the
FSCommand.
I send the user to a frame in the Flash movie. That frame has
the
variable set to the "On" state. I then have them go to
another frame for
the "Off" state.

Controlling flash in html.
Here is my problem hopefully someone can help me.
I need my swf to load a new level on a specific webpage url.
There are a few ways I can think of doing this. (I am not a
coder at all so bare with me)
(a) inside flash a code that says this. If on www.webpage.com
load swf on level 1000.
(b) in html, I have no idea how to control flash, could move
it to another frame. that would work. :)
and I'm sure there is something I don't know. Please guys I
am really stuck and need to figure this out.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks !Sounds to me like you need this:
[quote]LOL, Adobe is definately paranoid... I can't write
l-o-c-a-t-i-o-n in a post... so just remove the "-" in
l-o-c-a-t-i-o-n below
uh... maybe I'm completely wrong, but how about using
ExternalInterface.call to access a Javascript function
In HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
function getLocation(){
return(document.l-o-c-a-t-i-o-n.href);
</script>
From what I read you need to allow script access explicitly
for this to work.
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
In AS:
import flash.external.*;
String(ExternalInterface.call("getLocation"));[/quote] -

Pass image name and path to flash from html
Hello Flash Forum,
I would like to use Flash to display a larger image in an
HTML page that opens on top of a window with
thumbnail images. The thumbnail page will be a php page. If
the user clicks the thumbnail, I would like to open a swf that
diplays the larger image. I would like to pass the path and name of
the image to display to my swf. It would open a browser page (or
just a swf file) over the thumbnail page. The use could then close
the larger image display, and click another thumbnail, etc.
How could I do this? I have a swf file that will display the
image, but I would like to pass the image name from outside the swf
file.
Thanks for any tips,
eholz1Hello jpsoul,
Thanks for the suggestion. I did see some info on the query
string aspect. I will take a look at the JavaScript
external.ExternalInterface class as well.
Thanks again,

Hi there,
I've gotten a question actually and I haven't found any
answer yet.
How can I put a Flash element (swf) like a "loop" for example
and make it separate from the rest of HTML pages, so this "loop"
can be played continuously while the visitor and browsing the pages
and the Loop don't stop or change and doesn't effect by moving from
one page to another?!
I've tried many scripts and tried to make a layer above the
tables but nothing changed, the loop started every time by clicking
a new page!
Please help me.
thanks for your time.
Mo!You would have to use a frame.

you are looking for LocalConnection
google for "LocalConnection samples" or check the help files
for details.
Tho with all honesty, checking out samples is way more
understandable than
the attached help files.

Send variable to Flash from HTML link
Does anyone know if it's possible to include a variable in an
html link <a> tag that can set a variable in Flash. I have
used JavaScript to do this in the past but would prefer not to on
this site. I also would prefer not have to use a server side script
or xml, as all I want to do is set multiple links on one html page
to open the same Flash movie on another html page, but make it go
to a particular frame or load a particular external swf based on
the link that was clicked. Thanks, JDYou need to use them in the object and embed tags.

I want to be able to click and HTML Link such as:
<a href="gotoFrame" target="flashID">TEXT</a>
And have the Flash read that you clicked the link and then go to the specified place depnending on the HREF.
Basically, I just need to know how to get Flash to read that you clicked the HTML Link.Your HTML link can call a JavaScript function that calls a function in Flash. Read up ExternalInterface class.

Passing parameters to Flash from HTML or JavaScript
Hi. How do I pass paramaters to a Flash movie without using
the "../name.swf?param=value" syntax. I have a Flash menu that
jumps to a certain keyframe depending on the value specified inline
with the .swf address, which corresponds to the page being viewed.
The only problem is that, when another page is loaded, the menu
flickers and reloads because it's not cached: the browser thinks
it's another file when in fact it's just a different address
telling it where to go in the movie to update the menu for the
current page.
Any ideas how to do this with either HTML or JavaScript? Help
and suggestions are truly appreciated!The other method for doing this is using the Flashvars param.
You can read about it in the LiveDocs here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001206.html
Don't know if it will solve your problem, but it is the other
of the two main ways of passing in variables.
Good luck! -

Best way to pass vars from html into flash?
I've read a variety of pages that describe how to pass a variable into a flash movie (AS3, player = v9) from the html in which it is embedded. This page describes AS3 but neglects to mention what to do with the object and embed tags in the noscript section. Furthermore, I'm not sure the javascript I see generated in my page looks like the example there (the js in my page doesn't check AC_FL_RunContenta against zero). This page is quite long and appears to deal mostly with AS1 and AS2 approaches which I have used before and neglects entirely the newish javascript approach which appears to be used to embed flash these days (i.e., the javascript function AC_FL_RunContent).
I was wondering if someone could spell out the proper way to pass in a variable from HTML so that flash can see it in such a way that works even if javascript is disabled, in all browsers, etc., etc.
I've attached the HTML generated by the Flash IDE to this topic. Any help would be much appreciated.You'll have to search for that concise and thorough list of steps or figure it out using the information you now have, which is sufficient to get it done. It's not that hard--add the FlashVars in the embedding code in the three places and use the various examples you have links to to add the code in the Flash file to access and use the FlashVars.
Your Flash will be embedded in a web page depending on the visitors settings... if they allow javascript then the javascript portion will be used. If they don't, then either the object or embed sections will be used depending on their browser.
As far as javascript changes go, don't sweat 'em until you have a problem... use whatever code your Flash-created html page creates to embed the file in the page. -
Send data from html to flash action script
Hi,
I would like my flash to act differently depending on what
html page it is on. Can I send information from html code to action
script?Hi,
Yes you can, by using FLASHVARS. Refer the attached code for
example. Also you can use Javascript setVariable method of Flash
object to set values in between i.e. after the page has loaded, as
in case of FLASHVARS these are sent to flash just at the begining
i.e. once SWF loads. In the attached exmple i've sent 2 variables
to Flash one is 'username' and other is 'userId', thse will be
fetched inside flash movie as _root.username and _root.userId.
Note: I've added flashvars as PARAM and also as an attribute
for EMBED tag (used by Mozilla, NS etc)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to control Flash Player playback using JavaScript?
I have a local file-based web page (HTML file) containing an embedded YouTube video.
Now I want to write some JavaScript to control the Player's playback parameters, like volume, mute, play, stop etc., using JavaScript in the file. However, I don't seem to be able to access any of these function.
Can someone please enlighten me on what I need to do to be able to control Flash Player from JavaScript?I'm not acquainted with Flash too much, I'm afraid... Both paged didn't give any example I could leverage.
I'm searching for something equivalent to something like this:
document.getElementById("MyMoviePlayer").mute(); -
How to control Flash Player 10 with Javascript?
Are there any turotials or examples of controlling Flash Player 10 from a web page with javascript? I want the player to pop up when I mouseover a thumbnail image and play a short relevant flv file. When the mouse moves away from the thumbnail the player should disappear. I imagine I'm going to have something like
<img src="thumbnail.jpg" onmouseover="javascript: [call flv player with .flv name and parameters to autoplay with no controls )">
but I don't know what the javascript code should be and I don't know how to embed the flv player in my HTML so the javascript code can call it.
Thanks for any help.
