¿From HTML jump into spesific Keyframe in Flash?

[fery]

Hello there,

To explane myself I have to do a example:

1) By klicking a Button from a normal HTML Webside i open, in the same Browserwindow, a Flash (swf)-Site. Until here, NO problem.
2) Here´s what I like to do...
Is it possible, maby with help of JavaScript, to jump directly into a spesific keyframe, label or instance from the Flashmovie?

Hope I explanet myself,
Thanks Fery

on the button pass the frame you want to go to as a query string, ie:

<a href="flashPage.htm?flashLabel=label2">click me</a>

Then in your page that contains the flash file stick this bit of javaScript:

<script>
query = location.search.substring(1);
document.write "<OBJECT classid='clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0' WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400>";
document.write "<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE='Movie1.swf?" + query +"'>";
document.write "<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>";
document.write "<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>";
document.write "<EMBED src='Movie1.swf?"+query+"' quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 TYPE='application/x-shockwave-flash' PLUGINSPAGE='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash'></EMBED>";
document.write "</OBJECT>";
</script>


This will stick a variable called 'flashLabel' in the root of the movie with the value of 'label2'. You can use that to jump to a scene or do what ever.
