I need to be able to control a Flash movie using Javascript. I have looked all
over the place and found toutorials about how this can be achieved and they all
work in Windows, but do not work on any of the Mac OS X browsers (Safari,
Firefox etc) that I have tried.
The ability to do this is a pretty important feature of the project.
Is there a bug in the Mac implementation of the Flash plug-in that prevents
this functionality from working on Mac OS X?
Any and ALL help would be gratefully received.
The code I am currently using is as follows :
function hideMessageboard(){
if ( document.all ) {
document.all.interface_lower.style.visibility = 'visible';
document.all.messageboard.style.visibility = 'hidden';
document.all.msgbrd_iframe.src = 'safe.html';
document.all.theMovie.Play();
} else {
document.getElementById('interface_lower').style.visibility = 'visible';
document.getElementById('messageboard').style.visibility = 'hidden';
document.getElementById('msgbrd_iframe').src = 'safe.html';
document.getElementById('theMovie').Play();
}
}
