ONCLICK onclick . . .should have read onclick event arrrggggghhhhh
Hello as you will no doubt know I am a newbie so please be gentle
I am attempting to use swf movies on my website. Its a dynamic website andthe pages are generated via a php and mysql setup. I was wanting to use swf anims for my page header, buttons and various other areas so have been learning like a trouper. Thats the basic background but here are the specifics;
I would like to display an swf movie BUT instead of using actionscript I want to utilise the onClick event to kick off javascript on the webpage to for example
a) Control the opening and closing of AP Divs
b) displaying another page
I have attempted to do this and all was working fine with the browser of my choice FLOCK (Mozilla). I have buttons and animations and when I use the onclick event to kick off javascript there are no problems.
As soon as I use IE the onclick events are totaly ignored. At first I thought that scripting wasnt switched on BUT it is. Then I thought that it was a problem with the javascript BUT I changed the event capture to onfocus and it worked fine in IE but then didnt work in flock (I am going crazy!!!)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
heres my java script and an example of the onclick event capture code
Javascript
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = false;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args*+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
}
**Heres the event code with embedded swf
**
