Hi Everyone,
Although this is not specifically an swfObject problem (I don't think), I am
trying to incorporate the macromedia Flash JavaScript Integration Kit into
my site using swfObject.
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/
I've ended up using the method/scripts used here in this tutorial:
http://www.mustardlab.com/developer/flash/jscommunication/<http://osflash.org/doku.php?id=flashjs>
My aim is to attach and pass variables (containing the source of flv
files) from my thumbnails onClick into my swf containing the FLVPlayBack
component.
I have achieved this in IE however it does not work in Firefox nor Opera. I
was wondering if anyone had any ideas/fixes?
The source code inside my swf looks as follows:
Frame 2:
// no upgrade needed, start the movie
stop();
// This is a temporary variable to set an initial video.
vdoVarSource = "media/TNZ-PureNZ.flv";
// This dynamically sets the video source externally through
JavaScriptFlashGateway.
vdoContainer.onEnterFrame = function () {
vdoContainer.contentPath = vdoVarSource;
};
The source for the onclick within my php file is as follows:
<?php
// Where $flv = the source path of the flv file e.g. "media/myVideo.flv"
echo '<img src="'.$thumb.'" width="87" height="55" alt="'.$alt.'"
onclick="setFlashVariables(\'sendmovie\',\'vdoVarSource='.$flv.'\')"
/>'."\n";
?>
You can view what i currently have at www.filmproducer.co.nz/TEMPLATE.php
If anyone knows how to get this working in IE AND Firefox/Opera (and
hopefully Safari) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your help
