[osflash] osflash Digest, Vol 24, Issue 40

Thu Apr 26 06:34:12 EDT 2007

maybe you can use html and js communication, i got this code working in some 
of the browsers, but there are issues of course :-/ maybe this code could be 
improved by browser detection.

HTML:
<DIV ID="flashcontent" onMouseOver="onInsideFlash()" 
onMouseOut="onOutsideFlash()">
  <a HREF="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/">Please upgrade your Flash 
Player.</a>
 </DIV>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="js/swfobject_detect.js"></SCRIPT>

JS:
/* on out */
function onOutsideFlash()
{
 //alert("onOutsideFlash");
 if(flashMovie)
 {

  flashMovie.SetVariable("_level0.isOutsideFlash", "true");
 }
}
/* on over */
function onInsideFlash()
{
 //alert("onInsideFlash");
 if(flashMovie)
 {
  flashMovie.SetVariable("_level0.isOutsideFlash", "false");
 }
}
