Flash getURL call to js, freezes animated .gifs on html? 2

[oldnewbie]

Would anyone know the reasons for this and a workaround other than refreshing the html within the called js function?

Thanks for ideas!

To restart an animation, you could try this:

document.images["imageName"].src = document.images["imageName"].src

recursion (n.) See recursion.

Just typed like that? Within the called function?

Besides changing the image name to your own, yes.

If you have many images, you could use this to save a lot of typing:

var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for (var loop=0; loop<imgs.length; loop++) imgs[loop].src = imgs[loop].src;

Hope this helps,

Thanks to both of you, it does work... somewhat.

Animated .gifs do at least re-start, but from the beginning and not from where they were...

Anyone have an explanation for this? A text link or button in the html, calling the same function, doesn't have this effect on animated gifs, so why does the getURL from the Flash object cause it?

Thanks again.

You might try asking in the Flash forum to see if anyone there has heard of this issue before.

Hope this helps,
