Re: FLASH: Multiple FS Commands

Brian,

Yes. There are several ways you can do this. Methods given in no

particular order :


Method 1 -

The FS Command will return one command and one argument. This argument

can be for example a comma seperated list of arguments. Javascript will

receive it a one string. 

You can transform it into an array using split as demonstrated in the

following code snippet:


function theMovie_DoFSCommand(command, args) {

	var argv = String(args).split(",");

	var argc = argv.length;

        ....more of your code


argc will contain the number of arguments passed and argv is an array

that contains the arguments. To access the first argument, for example,

you would use argv[0].

In the case of the example you quote you could do :

In Flash :

	FS Command("launch","test.htm,250,250")


Your Javascript :


function theMovie_DoFSCommand(command, args) {

	var argv = String(args).split(",");

	var argc = argv.length;

	if (command == "launch") {

		launcher(String(argv[0]), Number(argv[1]), Number(argv[2]));

	}


This will call your launcher function correctly with all arguments

passed to it.


Method 2 Simplified Variant


>From Flash :


	FS Command("launcher('test.htm',250,250)","")

notice how only the command field is filled and the args field is empty.

This is a simplified variant of this method that doesn't use the args

field.


Your Javascript:


function theMovie_doFSCommand (command,args) {

	eval (command);

}
