Hi there! I googled around a lot and searched the forum for a few hours before posting this thread, but to no avail.
I have a first webpage (parent) that, upon a button press, opens a new window (child) and passes some variables to it. I have successfully passed the variables and made this alert-popup on the child webpage to ensure the variables are being passed, but I can't figure out how to pass the variables from the javascript to the html.
The following is relevant code from the parent website:
var w = window.open("child website");
var link1 = "src=http%3A%2F%2F143.215.99.158%3A1935%2Fvod%2Fmp4%3Asample.mp4%2Fmanifest.f4m%3Fwowzaplaystart%3D3 0000%26wowzaplayduration%3D40000&poster=http%3A%2F%2Fosmf.org%2Fimages%2Fposter_cathy_fmp.jpg";
var link2 = "src=http%3A%2F%2F143.215.99.158%3A1935%2Fvod%2Fmp4%3Asample.mp4%2Fmanifest.f4m%3Fwowzaplaystart%3D3 0000%26wowzaplayduration%3D40000&poster=http%3A%2F%2Fosmf.org%2Fimages%2Fposter_cathy_fmp.jpg";
this is the child code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function display_alert()
{
alert("link1: " + link1 + " link2: " + link2);
}
/////////////this script bit here is literally just for me to make sure the variables are being transferred from the parent to child
</script>
<body onload='display_alert()'>
//so the alert comes up on child loading, again just for me to ensure variables are being transferred.
//so this bit here is calling an osmf flash player instance. My intention is to use the link1 and link2 variables transferred from the parent to the child window where I have bolded the words link1 and link2. I've tried a couple things to make this work, without luck
It should theoretically work, however i'm not sure, what your flash application will do with them after that. It can be already started, when you change them and i don't know flash, so i'm useless here
