Browser window shake

[JonTowers]

I have created a short explosion movie. As the user clicks a button it starts a short sequence where the explosion happens. What I want to do is get the whole browser window to shake as the explosion happens.

I have seen this effect on some HTML sites, when the user rolls over a button but is it possible to trigger from a flash movie in an HTML web page?

i believe this has to take place on window load but here is the code: (but i think at the end of this code it tells you how to attach to button) hope this helps, later.

The three functions are
shake_xy(n) : Shakes the screen in x and y directions, n is a size number, bigger means more shaking!
shake_x(n) : Shakes the screen in the x direction!
shake_y(n) : Shakes the screen in the y direction!
Insert the following code into your HTML page

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">

<!-- Modified by Flash kit http://www.flashkit.com -->
function shake_xy(n) {
if (self.moveBy) {
for (i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {
self.moveBy(0,i);
self.moveBy(i,0);
self.moveBy(0,-i);
self.moveBy(-i,0);
}
}
}
}
function shake_x(n) {
if (self.moveBy) {
for (i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {
self.moveBy(i,0);
self.moveBy(-i,0);
}
}
}
}
function shake_y(n) {
if (self.moveBy) {
for (i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {
self.moveBy(0,i);
self.moveBy(0,-i);
}
}
}
}

To call from HTML use call the javascript shake functions described above, either using an


<A HREF = "javascript:shake_xy(3)">Shake XY</A>

-------------------------------PART II
Here's the code:

and a call in Flash would look like:
getURL ("javascript:shake_xy(10,10);", _self)

Enjoy!

within a normal link, or as a javascript event in a button


<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON value="Shake x" onClick="shake_x(4)">
