flash button to detail-page

[Ulitasch]

I made a button in. This button is part of a repeated region in a master-page and should "onClick" go to the detail-page.
I don't know if it is possible to make a detail-page link to a flash-button in Dreamweaver? Or is there a possibility to give the detail-link already in Flash?
This is the detail-link in Dreamweaver:

you can pass the dynamic info to the buttons using FlashVars and recover
its value in the Flash movie from the var in level0 scope

anyway, i'd think first about using Flash just for a button


<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent('...','...','width','100','height','50','src','your_button','flashvars','var_to_flash=<?php
echo ...; ?>',...);
//end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" ...
<param name="movie" value="your_button.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="var_to_flash=<?php echo ...; ?>" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="LOOP" value="false" />
<embed src="your_button.swf" flashvars="var_to_flash=<?php echo ...; ?>"
...>
</embed>
</object>
</noscript>

I don't know what is " FlashVars and level0 scope"?
What do I have to put in: var_to_flash=<?php echo ...; ?>',
Do I replace <?php echo ...; ?> with the link to the detail page? "../portfolio/index.php?foto=<?php echo $row_rsPORTFOLIO2['foto_order']; ?>"
And what do I put in the places after: AC_FL_RunContent('...','...','
Sorry, this is very new for me..

FlashVars is one way to pass variables to a Flash movie from HTML very
similar to query strings in the URL. if you pass a var named foto, it
can be accessed with: _level0.foto

take a look at Flash help for FlashVars and levels

just the var name and its dynamic value:

foto=<?php echo $row_rsPORTFOLIO2['foto_order']; ?>

as the path and page name seems to be static it doesn't make sense to
include them in the var; put them in the Flash movie:

getURL("../portfolio/index.php?"+_level0.foto);

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 generates that code when you insert a Flash movie and
Code Rewriting > Active content option in Preferences is selected:

AC_FL_RunContent('codebase',' http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0',...


and don't worry. everybody learn new things each day!

thnx. Super - I am learning!
I managed to pass the variable from the FLASH-button (in leftFrame) to the photo (on mainFrame)... it works fine in Safari, but not on PC/IE? Even the flash-button doesn't "hover" then...?

it doesn't rollover in IE because ... sorry, it's a long story and i'm
in a hurry. take a look at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/

if you click first over any button it'll work. note in your page that
the following code is missing. and it is precisely what avoids the need
to click before you can interact with the Flash movie in IE

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent('...');
//end AC code
</script>

and BTW, instead of having one Flash movie for each button, you could
have just one movie with all the buttons you need. yeah, i know you're
learning!
