Re: sound streaming

[Colin Moock]

Sorry Jim, just saw your other post...didn't know you don't do much

JavaScript, so here's the rest of what you'll need in your page:


1) In your EMBED statement, name your first movie "firstmovie"

2) In the HEAD of your page, put:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">

<!--

//This function listens for FSCommands from your first movie...

function firstmovie_DoFSCommand(command, args){


if(command=="setbuttons"){

        var destframe = parseInt(args)

        setbuttons(destframe)

}}


***PUT SCRIPT I SENT BEFORE HERE***


//-->


</SCRIPT>


 <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

<!-- 

//  Map VB script events to the JavaScript method - Netscape will

ignore this... 

//  Since FSCommand fires a VB event under ActiveX, we respond here 

Sub buttons_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)

  call buttons_DoFSCommand(command, args)

end sub

-->

</SCRIPT>


3) In your first movie, make the action on the button have a Network

URL of:

FScommand:setbuttons


and in the "Target" put the number of the frame you want your sound

movie to move to.


4) I just noticed something I forgot to change below. Fix the last line

in the first script I sent:

This:

>        bm.GotoFrame(framenumber);

Should read:

	soundmovie.GotoFrame(framenumber);


That's most of what you'll need. Might be some typos etc, but you

should be able to take it from there...


Cheers,

Colin
