This may sound stupid, but does anyone know if is possible to change the background of an html page in which the flash movie resides via a script in the movie?

Yeah, I am krazy.

thanks.

i remember an site with that option, but the link is down for about an year now…

i think the best way to do it is with javascript, flash itself cant do this, but CAN send commands to javascript

try google “change background javascript” or something simular…

here’s a good one:

on (Release){
getURL("javascript : function(vars)")

edit2  
fixed, added space between “javascript” and “:”
