Re: FLASH: FS Command BUG in Netscape?

[John Croteau]

Hi Waldo,


FSCommand is very particular and you should carefully model your sripts

after ones that are known to work flawlessly. If you looked at Jon

Gay's, My Anchor Clock or My FlashTek clock you will see  that your's is

not the same as any of them.


CHANGE

var careObj = InternetExplorer ? care : document.care;


TO

var careObj = InternetExplorer ? parent.care :

parent.document.embeds[0];


If the Flash movie is the only embeded object on the page or it is the

first embeded object it will be embeds[0], otherwise it you need to

determine which embeded object it is and adjust the number.


FlashTek uses the same but in longhand JavaScript code instead of the

shorthand JS above.


The Anchor clock uses a different technique to provide the paths:


function jc(){

     if (navigator.appName.indexOf ("Microsoft") !=-1) 

           { return window['clock'] }

     else  { return document['clock'] }

              }


All 3 of these methods work flawlessly, the method you are using is

known to be less reliable. For some reason some browsers have trouble

parsing that syntax even though it is should work.


There could be other problems but we would need a URL to check properly.
