that's great!!!

**LazyJim** · 11-16-2003, 04:22 PM

lol yeah but i need a Flash expert - a 'Flashpert'? - to tell be if flash can interact with the DOM or Scripts of the page it is in, as it seems to on that page.

I was also wondering if SVG has built in collision detection?

I know that javascript on a page can interact with Flash.

But, I don't know about the SVG thing.

I believe that you use something like a call method or something to reference a function outside of the swf.

cool cheers,

well collision detection would not be hard to code for SVG, so tht doesn't really matter.

Only problem with SVG is it's young and no-one has the plug-in yet!

ya you can, it's easy, if i know what your talking about. Just put the javascript in your html doc. and then put your swf. file in the body of the html just like you would if you were going to put it on the web. As for putting it actually inside, like adding it inside flash with the actionscript i dont think so, but like the example you showed, it just looks like you told it to link to a page then have the page you linked to have the javascript when it opens up. So to answer your question, yes inside an html document, no (i dont think so) inside flash itself.

That link gives me an "Illegal Function" prompt.

**LazyJim** · 11-17-2003, 04:02 AM

TeKBuzz · 11-17-2003, 08:54 AM

Hey, anyone know what song is in that flash thing? It's been driving me nuts because I know I've heard it and can't think of the name!!

You can use javascript inside of a swf file. Here is a link that shows you how.

thanks all.
It was the communication between the flash and the html/javascript I wanted.

go talk to mike at revo7.com He will know exactly how that works.

**LazyJim** · 11-17-2003, 12:00 PM

cheers I don't need to do it yet, it just changes my opinion of Flash a bit.

Rizande · 11-17-2003, 12:30 PM

ya, i didn't know you could actually put it in the swf. file.

Pimpen 2010 · 11-17-2003, 02:29 PM

I want the song name

TeKBuzz · 11-17-2003, 02:45 PM

Also if all else fails we all know java applets work with javascript

(I only say that because I know how to make some nifty applets but suck at flash)

it's "Maria" from DJ Scooter
album : "We like it loud"
but it seems to be a remix in the flash thing

You can. You could try something like this.

[code:1:7e5b154b2f]<object id="myFlash" ..... >
<param name="movie" value="somefile.swf" />

....

var myFlash = document.getElementById("myFlash").SetVariable("my Var"); [/code:1:7e5b154b2f]
