FLASH: Child call back to parent in JavaScript? Please help.

[John Prince]

This is the *third* time I've posted this. I assume there is a simple yes or no

answer. If I'm being too succint, or if my question does not make sense, please

let me know and I'll eloborate.


Thanks!


On our website, I have a javascript function that opens a window and plays a

Flash.swf file in that window. In that Flash movie, there is a button that has

the GetUrl action assigned to it. 


What I need is this: when the user clicks on the button, I need to open

different URL in the original browser (that contains the javascript function).


In other words, when window A opens window B, how can I create a function so

that window B can communicate back to window A (in this case, change the URL).

Can the child call back to the parent in JavaScript?


Or can this even be done? If not, next question:


Is there a way to change the size of a flash window (opened by a JavaScript

function) when the user clicks a button. In other words the window opens at

height=450, width=300, but I want it to maximize when the user clicks a button.


Can this be done?


Also . . . can anyone recommend a *good* Flash book. Something that is a little

more detailed then Macromedia's?


Thanks (again),
