Re: FLASH: Passing variables TO Flash FROM Javascript

[John Dowdell]

I'm not sure of which step is failing, but if you're trying to use an event

in Flash to get a value returned from JavaScript, then the LiveConnect

mechanism in some Netscape versions does not support such rapid

pingpong-ing of messages.


(Hmm, but there's mention made later of a "javascript:" protocol URL, so

perhaps  LiveConnect is not in use there.)


I notice that the JavaScript function seems like it would return a DOM

reference, rather than a time reference... the "return" is in the opening

conditional test, rather than in the manipulations to the "date" object.

I'm not sure whether this may be a key component of the core problem,

though.


Sorry, I don't have a lock. Can you replace any of the current parts of the

problem with simpler parts, to find where in the system the problem is...?
