RE: FLASH: Inserting variable into Javascript command

[Eric Dunham]

Don't use quotes when you pass 'sample' as an argument if it is a variable.

If you do that, the word 'sample' will be literally interpreted as that, and

it will try to open the document 'sample', instead of the one that you want.

For example... javascript:launchwin(sample, 'newwindow',

'height=350,width=350')


HTH,

Eric Dunham

Subject: FLASH: Inserting variable into Javascript command



Hello all!

I've got a simple question (I hope).  I've got a "Get URL" command that

calls a piece of

Javascript:

javascript:launchwin('sample' , 'newwindow' , 'height=350,width=350')


Here's my dilemma:

The word 'sample' is actually the name of a variable that contains the

correct file name that

should be opened in the new window.

- Currently I've got the URL window set to "string litteral".

- I tried it with the URL window set for "Expression" with equally negative

results.

- With the Get URL window set to either mode, it actually works as far as

opening up a

separate window, but doesn't supply the file name that the variable "sample"

contains (it is

"sample1a.swf", in this case).


Any feedback would be appreciated.


Patrick
