flash/javascript

since were on the flash javascript subject... :)

heres some code you all should find VERY useful - using javascript to
set/get variables in flash, when used with asp(or whatever floats your boat)
you can create message boards and shopping sites in flash - without having
to get your head around xml connections in flash 5! :) just remeber to give
the embed and the object both a name and in id with the same text and use
the swLiveConnect for shitscape users.



var swfname="Savi";



var movie_ready="false";

function swfobject(swfname)
{
//IE and Netscape refer to the movie object differently.
//This function returns the appropriate syntax depending on the browser.

if (navigator.appName.indexOf ("Microsoft") !=-1)
{
return window[swfname];
}

else
{
return document[swfname];
}
}

function dovariable(){

if(movie_ready == "false"){

while(movie_ready == "false"){

if(swfobject(swfname).PercentLoaded() == 100){

swfobject(swfname).SetVariable("id", player_id);
movie_ready = "true";

}
}
}

else{

swfobject(swfname).SetVariable("id", player_id);

}
}










im sure you all can think of a few appliocations that'd be useful for!
