How Can I make a Flash Buton Show/Hide a DIV layer?

**Buscrazy** · 08-25-2008, 09:16 AM

I know this must be a newb question, but I can not get it to work. I am using Dreamweaver 8 and inserting a flash button, and then asking it to show a hidden layer on click, but it will not do it. it will work off of plain text but not the flash button... please help!!!

Here is the code from my page:

  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_showHideLayers() { //v6.0
  var i,p,v,obj,args=MM_showHideLayers.arguments;
  for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if ((obj=MM_findObj(args[i]))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
    if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible':(v=='hide')?'hidden':v; }
    obj.visibility=v; }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

in Flash you can use ExternalInterface() to call/execute a function contained in the container/wrapper (IE: html page)
