Javascript controlled flv

[ross928]

Hi...

Ok, so I know how to control standard SWFs with javascript, I use the following code to do that, with a call to the stopFlash() function that passes in the name of the objectID or embedName of the SWF:

function getFlashMovieObject(movieName) {
  if (window.document[movieName])
  {
    return window.document[movieName];
  }
  if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
  {
    if (document.embeds && document.embeds[movieName])
      return document.embeds[movieName];
  }
  else
  {
     return document.getElementById(movieName);
  }
}

function stopFlash(movieName) {
   getFlashMovieObject(movieName).StopPlay();
}

But the SWF I'm trying to stop is a streaming video that is located in a placeholder called playback.swf. I can't stop the stream/video. But I can replace the StopPlay() with Zoom(25) and that will work!

<param name="movie" value="movies/playback.swf?movie=soccer.flv" />

What gives? How do I stop a streaming video when the param value is like this?

hi,

js script communication pretty much died with swf5

The most I can suggest is that you put a label in an mc where the action is called.

Then call the label via .js
