tell html file that variable Test = "ready" from flash?

Hi,

I have this problem which i can't seem 2 figure out. In the html file (main.html) i am using a selfmade varialbe called 'Test' .

Test = "stoppp" when the html code is entered for the first time.

THen i have a flash (swf) file which has to trigger the Test variable. When a button is pushed in the flash file then the variable in the html file has to change.

Test = "ready"



is this possible and how can i achieve this. tnx very much for reading and i'm looking forward to your reply! :rolleyes:

Hi,

Html is static. your not going to beable to change the substance of it.

Of course you can change HTML, you do it with Javascript.

Basically you need to use Flash to call a Javascript function. Basically in the HTML you'd have something like

test="stop";
function changeMe(){
test="ready";
}

and then in the Flash movie something like:

on(release){
getURL("javascript: changeMe()");
}

Though you may run into security errors depending on which version of the Flash player you're targeting.
