[Xerte] Re: Setting Focus on the SWF

[Dave Burnett]

That ExtInterface call should work on it's own.


If there are still issues you should back up and try first principles.


Put a "hello world" javascript function in the html page.
Call it from the .rlo.
Does it work?
Yes - change the js function to find and report the <div id
No - Move the ExtInterface cal to the loaded swf.


repeat


etc.


Make sure to publish *before* you alter the .js page.
Else it will be overwritten with the default page (which is probably why you mentioned losing your changes when you tried it before).

Yes Dave, that works on its own.  And only opens one browser window when tested.:-)  Thank you.



Julian:
if (mdm != undefined){//WHAT DO I PUT HERE?

} else {flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("document.getElementById(\"rlo\").focus");   

}
Do I put this in the SWF or rlo?

Oh..........I see..........I think....





I'm sorry to be dim but can you be a bit more specific.  Where do I put this code?  And how do I try it out?







if (mdm != undefined){
  //we are at author time: the mdm scripting obejcts are available
} else {
  //we must be in the browser...
}
