Re: FLASH: access to layers in the same URL?

>movie but a new QTmovie. Is there a way to just close the upper layer

>(the QT layer) and then open a new one in the same URL by the click of a

>button? Does anybody know what I mean? Help is needed desperately!


If the layer you want to show can be downloaded as the page loads, 

set the visibliity of the hidden layer to "hidden", then call these 

functions like show('myLayer') where myLayer is the layer's ID.


function show(whatLayer) {

  if (document.layers) { document.layers[whatLayer].visibility = 'show'; }

  else if (document.all) { document.all[whatLayer].style.visibility = 

'visible'; }}


function hide(whatLayer) {

  if (document.layers) { document.layers[whatLayer].visibility = 'hide'; }

  else if (document.all) { document.all[whatLayer].style.visibility = 

'hidden'; }}


If you want to wait to download new content to the client's browser 

without reloading the entire page, this tells you how to do it:
