RE: FLASH: FS_Command, Javascript -> Flash [passing variable] GOT IT

[Susan Yoo]

Yay!

I still don't understand what it was or why it working now, but publishing

with Flash with FS Command seemed to do the trick. (I was working with

simple test swfs/html created by directly following the technote.--That's

what was so confusing.) 


I even deleted the extra scripting that the FS Command publishing added,

added the EMBED name= and it still worked.  It's strange because I was added

the code as was indicated in the technote document: the swLiveConnect=true

and the EMED name= , etc. when publishing normally.


I was comparing the difference in the scripts published normally and with FS

Command (with all the extra Javascript deleted, except of what was pasted in

between the HEAD tags on the Technote and the additional code).  I couldn't

see anything.  Maybe I'm still missing something, but it's working now.  

Have to start reading up on JavaScript.  <grin>


Thanks JD and Catherine.
