Passing variables to Flash - Viewing in Netscape 2

[SteveMersereau]

First post to this forum... Hi everybody... !

I've got a Flash movie in an HTML page... I'm passing variables to the movie and it works fine in IE but Netscape refuses to load the variables... Any ideas...?

Relevant code is below;

 <object classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot; codebase=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0&quot;[/URL] width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;400&quot;>
              <param name=movie value=&quot;deutsche.swf?strdivision=Division&stradd1=22 The Glades&quot;>
              <param name=&quot;QUALITY&quot; value=&quot;high&quot; >

              <embed src=&quot;deutsche.swf?strdivision=Division&stradd1=22 The Glades&quot; quality=high pluginspage=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&quot;[/URL]
              type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;550&quot; height=&quot;400&quot;>
              </embed>
            </object>
            <br>

Love,
Steve

Tulsa... Probably "Love" as in "Ah! Netscape! Gotta Love it to use it!"... Or Steve was still half asleep too!

Steve, your problem most probably resides in the <embed> tag, the one used by &quot;Lovable&quot; Netscape! Try adding swLiveConnect=true in there, between src=... & quality=...!
Might as well give your movie an ID in the <object> tag and a name in the <embed> tag also, for future usage, if and ever you want to use Flash methods, for example.

Love to you and all!

Sadly I still need a reply!

Love,

And all of this is not in explanation, It's just me putting my hand on my heart

 

[TulsaJeff]

So you tried Old's suggestion above and it did not work? Regards,
TulsaJeff

 

[SteveMersereau]

Hey everybody, thanks for your feedback... I laughed I cried (but mostly I've been crying)

Our posts crossed (kind of like ships in the night...)

I've tried Old's suggestion now... putting

swLiveConnect=true

in a few different locations... no joy.

Any other ideas welcome...

Seriously I love this forum!

Love,
Steve

What variables & what variables names are you exactly trying to pass on?

Regards,

 

[oldnewbie]

Just tested this in Netscape 4.76 (if you're using NS6.x - that might be the problem!), and your script works wonderfully as is (without swLiveConnect), in both browsers, assuming the variables you're passing on, are &quot;strdivision&quot; and &quot;stradd1&quot;.

Regards,

 

[SteveMersereau]

I really appreciate your help Oldnewbie!

Testing this in Netscape 4.08. Flash variables are strdivision and stradd1 and the values I'm trying to get into Flash are

 Division

(into strdivision) and

 22 The Glades

(into stradd1)

Steve

Take me to the river

 

[oldnewbie]

What can I say? Lovable NS4.08 must then be the problem!
Someone running NS6.x should confirm it, but seems to me, you should upgrade!

Maybe it will take you to the river!

Regards,
And might I be &quot;loved&quot; by your vote!

I'll &quot;up&quot;grade and let you know....Thanx
