Hello all,
I’ve done some searching around and was wondering if this works. Is it possible to send a function command to a SWF from an HTML page? Basically, a javascript based menu that executes a function in a swf contained on that page.
If there is some documentation or examples of this I’d love to see them. Thanks!

Thanks, just the info I was looking for. While the FlashJavascript Gateway looks promising, it may be easier to just create the menu in Flash and use local connection. Thanks!
