Help....passing varibles between frames

[grandmasterC]

I hope someone can help me out there. Basically I have a navigation bar in the left hand frame called chris_navbar.swf which calls some java script when pressed. In the topframe I have header.swf which contains a text field which pulls in the varible "heading" according to which section has been pressed in the chris_navbar.swf.

In chris_navbar.swf I have

Set Variable: "section" = "Corporate"
Get URL ("javascript:rad()")

I have tried this Java script in the frame that contains chris_navbar.htm:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
function rad()
{
var flashvar_string = document.chris_navbar.GetVariable("section");
parent.topframe.document.header.SetVariable("heade r",(flashvar_string));
}
</SCRIPT>

Unfortunately it still will not change the text field in the topframe. Should I be writing my varible instead? Have I mucked up my synatax?

any help much appreciated, thanks

Hi !

Are you sure that name of topframe is "topframe", movies ID are "header" and "chris_navbar" and at last there is NAME= inside <embed
?

Thanks, you put me on the right track. I was also having problems between browsers but worked out that I had to put the swlive connect for Netscape. Checked out your site too, very cool stuff. Keep up the good work.
