Use javascript in flash?

I'm trying to incorporate Lightwindow into a flash project of mine. I just want to be able to launch it from flash. It can use a javascript function to call it, is this possible in flash? Any advice would be great help, thanks.

look into external interafce

I think that will do the trick. I'm pretty new at this and I can't figure out the syntax.

The function I need to call is:

Code:

---

myLightWindow.activateWindow({
        href: 'http://stickmanlabs.com/images/kevin_vegas.jpg',
        title: 'Waiting for the show to start in Las Vegas',
        author: 'Jazzmatt',
        caption: 'Mmmmmm Margaritas! And yes, this is me...',
        left: 300
});"

---

So would I do something like this on a button...

Code:

---

onMouseDown = function(myLightWindow){
    ExternalInterface.call("general_JS_call", "String to return to Flash:");

---

Am I going in the right direction?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem...

To call this function from Flash:

Code:

---

myLightWindow.activateWindow({
        href: 'http://stickmanlabs.com/images/kevin_vegas.jpg',
        title: 'Waiting for the show to start in Las Vegas',
        author: 'Jazzmatt',
        caption: 'Mmmmmm Margaritas! And yes, this is me...',
        left: 300
});"

---

You would use:

Code:

---

ExternalInterface.call("myLightWindow.activateWindow", "{href: 'http://stickmanlabs.com/images/kevin_vegas.jpg', title: 'Waiting for the show to start in Las Vegas', author: 'Jazzmatt', caption: 'Mmmmmm Margaritas! And yes, this is me...', left: 300}");

Thanks, I managed to get something like that working the other day. Do you have any experience with LightWindow? Only problem I'm having now is that the lightwindow is loading into an iFrame for some reason in IE, which is messing up the css styling. Works fine in other browsers.

Not personally with Lightwindow, no.
