[SWFObject] swfObject + Javascript to Flash communication.

[Aran Rhee]

Tim.
 
Geoff has been kind enough to roll a version which integrates the macromedia
javascript integration kit with swfObject.
 
test page:
http://blog.deconcept.com/code/intkit/so_integrationkit.html
 
download:

I have been using it successfully to read / write data on numerous projects.
 
Cheers.
Aran

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
