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

[KnowledgeWare]

Hello Julian:

 

On browser 'close' I was trying to write a cookie to the hard drive which
contains an array of the menu items the user has done, etc.. But I believe
there is a function in Flash where the program should, in theory, write a
cookie on shutdown, possibly that will work.

 

Question on the desktop xerte 'Publish' feature.  Is there a way to change
where it publishes the files? The helpfile shows C:\Documents and Settings
but I cannot access that directory without resetting permissions. Is there a
path somewhere I can change to make it publish to a more friendly location?

 

BTW I really like the desktop version in spite of my whining and
questions..hate to see it go..hoping some of it may someday show up in
toolkits (like framework icons!).

 

Thanks

RonM2  : - )

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

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>
