Flash/Javascript in IE

• brandonbleed

  Hey, sorry to nerd out here

  I have several buttons within my swf that change the background image of the HTML page it is embedded in.

  on (release) {
  getURL("javascript:document.body...
  }

  This works great in Safari, but completely fails and even crashes in IE. I have no JavaScript tag within the of the HTML page, but as I mentioned, it works in Safari. Does any one know either a better JavaScript to run, or a better way of doing this on click?

  Thanks a lot.

  have you tried putting it into a js function, and then just calling that function?
  also, i dont know of that beign in the DOM spec. try document.body.style.background = "url('i/1.jpg')";

  yeah, I think you should certainly put it into a javascript function instead of calling it directly. Plus, you might try adding .src= to the end. Not sure because I'm no DOM/javascript wizard but I think IE requires that you declare a src for any images.

  As someone said, create a JS function and call it by getURL. If it works, you're lucky, IE tends to react badly to getURL.
  If it doesn't work, you'll have to:

  1. define FSCommand in JS or VBS (VBS is safari safer because it's ignored better)
  2. detect browser and pass the info to flash while embedding the swf (IE/other)
  3. Depending on the browser, use getURL or FSCommand to call your function
