Hi
This is extremely helpful. My current actionscript is:
var testValue:String = "";
watchCallback = function (id, oldval, newval):String {
result_txt.text = newval;
myVid.play(newval);
return newval;
};
_root.watch("testValue", watchCallback);
HTML/PHP:
<?Php
//This is a while loop with many videourls and thumb images. When clicked the javascript passes the video url to flash.
<a href="" onclick="return false" class="gt" name="'.$vidfield.'"><img src="'.$vidthumb.'" width="180" height="105" align=center /></a>
?>
Current javascript:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".gt").live("click", function(){
var sendText = $(this).attr("name");
window.document.myMovie.SetVariable("testValue", sendText);
});
});
</script>
The attempt is to automaticly send the a video url onload. So using your advice I added this to current code:
HTML:
<body onload="callnow(videourl)"></body>
Javascript:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
function callnow(videourl){
return videourl;
}
});
</script>
Actionscript 2.0:
import flash.Exteneral.ExternalInterface;
var videoURL:String=ExternalInterface.call("callnow");
//Videoplay called myVid.
myVid.play(videoURL);
This has failed to play the video url onload. Other effort include changing callnow function to:
function callnow(videourl){
window.document.myMovie.SetVariable("videoURL", videourl);
return videourl;
}
This has not been a success. I hope you can help and thank you again.
