Question
getURL flash in a Command, doesnt work.
I am trying to get a flash file displaying in a Command (or a
floater, either would be preferable at this point!) and for the
most part its working, although when I execute getURL from the
flash file, the flash file dissapears and right clicking on the
place where the flash file was gives you a "Movie not loaded"
message (ghosted).
While I'm not particularly attached to using getURL, I AM attached to the idea of the flash file talking to javascript on the page that the command lives, enabling the real USEFULNESS of this idea/approach. I've also tried using fscommand but it seems to do the same thing. The new External Interface API doesnt work either, the example given on this page ends up with no javascript alert happening and an "undefined" in the text feild in flash.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there some kind of security problem that I have run into? I've tried setting my security settings in the Global Security Panel to "allow all", but this state of flash promiscuity seems to do nothing to assist in my flash-file-in-a-dreamweaver-command attempts...
Is there more to this? Or am I just trying to do something impossible? Replies will be welcomed...
