[Xerte] Re: desktop xerte js syntax to call swf function

[Julian Tenney]

What are you trying to do? Intuitively, this seems a long winded way of achieving it...

Subject: [Xerte] desktop xerte js syntax to call swf function

Can anyone see anything wrong with this... this is in the index.htm page that loads my RLO. I'm loading a swf file in the RLO that calls the 'flashInititialized' function below. The function runs, because if I remove the comments around the alert('xxxxx') that will display.

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
myRLO = new rloObject('975','731','ron_acoustic.rlo');
</script>


    <script type="text/javascript">
    // called by our action script after initialization
   function flashInitialized()
    {

                //alert('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');     THIS RUNS WHEN COMMENT REMOVED

      var isInternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;

      // get flash object
      //flash = isInternetExplorer ? document.all.myRLO.newMenu : document.myRLO.newMenu;
                flash = isInternetExplorer ? document.all.myRLO.newMenu : document.myRLO.newMenu;

WHAT SYNTAX SHOULD I BE USING HERE TO CALL A FUNCTION IN THE SWF LOADED BY THE RLO? NONE OF THESE WILL RUN....
      // call action script function
      flash.setText('Hello from javascript via xerte RLO');
      //myRLO.newMenu.setText('Hello from javascript via xerte RLO');
      //_level0.engine.newMenu.setText('Hello from javascript via xerte RLO');
    }

    </script>
