Retrieve javascript function returned value into Flash

[lmitchsmith]

Hi all

I am posting a thread regarding passing a javascript returned value into Flash. It is slightly complex due to the solution I am looking for must target Flash Player 6.

I have looked at various solutions including the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit wrote by the guys at the former Macromedia. Unfortunately the solution involved includes various classes and then import them in Flash which produces the following error:

The class or interface 'com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy' could not be loaded.

The Javascript I want to retrieve the value from looks like:

<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[

function CheckIn(){
var originalDate = $('#FromDate').val();
return(originalDate);
}

]]>
</script>

I just need to pass the returned value into a variable within Flash.

Any assistance would be gratefully received, thanks

Im not sure what PLayer 6 all allows.. but can you NOT ue ExternalInterface() to call/execute functions registered in both the wrapper (ie: html/js functions) & flash?

alternately.. maybe using some .js to add the results from your function as a var in the embed code? (flashvar?)

when do you need this value in flash? when it loads?
