Js and Flash

[moiseszaragoza]

I have been trying to get my Java Script talk to my Flash file and i am not sure what the problem is.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                    
               function callFlash(){
                    if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
                         window["FlashVars"].test();
                    }else{ 
                          document["FlashVars"].test();
                    }
             }

             callFlash();
</script>

In Flash

function test(){
	getURL("http://www.yahoo.com")
}

You should look into one of the excellent flash communication libraries provided by JS toolkits like MooTools or Dojo. There are many thorny issues associated with talking to Flash, why not learn from the experience of others who have done it before you?

And by the look of it, you are trying to access an element directly by its id, don't do that. Use document.getElementById, and take David's advice.
