Calling a javascript function in Value attribute of param

Report · Jun 09, 2012

Hi,

I want to set a TLF text field in SWF file through HTML page. So I used flashvar, by calling a javascript function for it attribute "value" as follows.

SetFlashMovieParam() is a javascript function as follows.

function SetFlashMovieParam() {

document.getElementById("message").setAttribute("value", "msgText=Start");

}

Even though this doesn't work, when I set the text value directly to "value" attribute, it worked.

I think this is because a syntax error in javascript function calling in param tag. Can anyone help to call that function correctly...

Thanks.

Normally when you have any executable code nested in html code you have to identify that section accordingly. In the case of javascript you surround it with <script> tags.

Yes, javascript function is surrounded by <script> tag. Here is the full HTML code.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<head>

// Set parameters to send to SWF file

function SetFlashMovieParam() {

document.getElementById("message").setAttribute("value", "msgText=Start");

}

</script>

</head>

</a>

</object>

</div>

</body>

</html>
