 Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2003 10:40 pm Post subject: BROWSER with swf flash |
 |
|
Is there a way to communicate between a flash movie within BROWSER element and vds program? Perhaps with FS command?
And if not, how about javaScript? I am basically looking for a way to call a label within VDS script with BROWSER element, with a script within the browser.
Thanks,

Well you could use the VDSSWFLA Extension, which is a Macromedia Flash DLL for VDS.. I still havent updated it to support for VDS 5 but will during september. VDSSWFLA will be re-release then. It will let you add a Flash Objecdt to your VDS Dialog and control it via VDS.
Stay tuned... 
Will post it when its ready... |

Hehe yea, I got pretty excited to see the flash control, but then noticed it was pulled out. Looking forward to the re-release! |

Yea, this works well for one-way communication (vds -> swf), but there still isn't a way to communicate from swf/javascript back to vds.
Vdsfla extension is the perfect solution though, it supports sending and retrieving variables from within swf movie. |

I made a solution for that, just make a Javascript function which will copies the variable to the clipboard, and load it with VDS. 
| Code: | %%clipboard = @clipboard()
browser set,javascript:setdatatoclipboard()
%%flashvalue = @clipboard()
clipboard set,%%clipboard |
You should search for some code to set the clipboard content in VDS, I don't have it available right now...

Ha! Nice. I didn't think about the clipboard. It's a hack, but I guess it would do the job |

Actually, your clipboard idea inspired me to yet another way of doing it. With your HTA support script (nice, btw), use the FileSystemObject ActiveX object inside JScript to read/write to a text file, and use that as a gateway between vds/jscript. Also a hack, but doesn't have any limitations.
Though I think I'll stick with vdsfla; seems like much cleaner way of doing things.

| Just to let you know that HTA scripts are blocked sometimes when the users has Norton or something else, as well as Activex controls by IE. |
