Hi!

I have just learned EvalScript() is not working in Firefox what is not a
good news at all !!!

Seems the only cross-browser way to implement Browser -> Shockwave
communication is through Flash xtra. Valentin has published interesteing
but bulky solution here:

http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/lingo/dir_js/

Interesting enough is another question - has anybody here tried new
Flash 'externalInterface' class in this aspect?

Is it possible to use Flash Xtra externalInterface object to receive
browser events through Shockwave movie container?

Rgs,
Ziggi

Personnaly I would have tried Flash's localConnections, which I have
used to make browser page to local exe communications.
So I guess js talking to a swf talking through localConnection to
another swf emedded in shockwave could be a good solution.

I agree, but I found this unreliable due to many reasons (issues in
Firefox and possible Flash Blocker nstalled).

Thank you anyway!

Im using Firefox 2.0.0.16 and the scripts on the link you posted doesnt work
except call Js function to webpage.
I.E. works for me but not in firefox (Win Xp).

Too bad cos i really need the browser-js->lingo->browser-js to work.
Ayone got a workaround?
