Re: FLASH: flash to javascript to shockwave question?

[John Dowdell]

If you're controlling the Beatnik Player, then this implies that you'll

already be using LiveConnect and ActiveScripting, so FSCommand and

Shockwave's externalEvent will work.


If you'd like to have Flash buttons control Beatnik through Shockwave, then

this also implies that they have Beatnik installed.


Because you have those two constraints already fulfilled (a browser which

offers JavaScript control over plugins and the Beatnik installation), then

I'd probably cut Shockwave out of the picture entirely, and just have Flash

FSCommand out to JavaScript, which then controls the Beatnik browser

plugin/control directly.


Is there any reason to include Shockwave at this point...?


(Rephrased, it might be simpler to go Flash->JavaScript->Beatnik than

Flash->JavaScript->Shockwave/wBeatnik.)
