Flash/JavaScript/Netscape

Does anyone know a way to make the communication happen from html to Flash in Netscape? It works perfect in IE but not at all in Netscape. The FlashGuy

You have to make sure the SWLIVECONNECT parameter is set to true in the <embed> tag.

Read this note about it:

This example

works both in IE and NS, so it's surely possible.

Thanks OldNewbie! I just looked into the code and the programmer had it set to true, so it must be something else. grrrrrrrrr. Any other suggestions??? The FlashGuy

Does my above example work for you with your version of NS?
If so it definately points to something in your code, and without having a look at it, I can't help you more than I have.
If my example doesn't work, well maybe it's your version of NS? Which is?

I'll get u a copy of the code.... we're using a CF backend. netscape 4.76 and 6.0.

Here tis:
I had him send the offMovie variable to Flash and Flash constantly test for the value then performs a number of events

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
<!--
function flashFocus(onOff) {
window.document.EsotericNav.SetVariable(&quot;offMovie&quot;, onOff);
}
-->
</SCRIPT>

heres the rest of the code:


<div align=&quot;center&quot;><OBJECT id=&quot;EsotericNav&quot; classid=&quot;clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;
codebase=&quot;

WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=65>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=&quot;Esoteric_Menu_0_1b.swf&quot;> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <EMBED name=&quot;EsotericNav&quot; src=&quot;Esoteric_Menu_0_1b.swf&quot; quality=high bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=65 TYPE=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; PLUGINSPAGE=&quot;

swLiveConnect=true></EMBED>
</OBJECT></div>

Sorry, don't see anything wrong with your embed code! Not sure about NS6.0 but this should work with NS4.76
Could it be from the function your using?
I know it's a pain but can't you test this with something simple like the color change done in my example?
