I am trying something not covered in your forums though it seems as though it should be possible. I have a GUI design in flash (created by FlashNifties you can download this for free from http://www.flashnifties.com/media_gallery.php) which has multiple “pages” of dynamic text, videos and images. I am loading text from .txt files into a dynamic text box which is html formatted as follows:
myHTMLdata=<font color="#333333" size="12"><b>TITLE HERE</b></font><br><font color="#444444" size="10">BODY TEXT HERE
<!--TEXT LINK WHICH INITIATES THE FOLLOWING ACTIONSCRIPT
mediaGallery.openFile("Student Theatre")
-->
</font>
The HTML formatted text looks great and works great but I do not know how to initiate the code that I need - the text link which activates the “mediaGallery.openFile()” command. I found a lot of info on External API (aka ExternalInterface) which I think should do the trick, but it seems to all suggest that the javascript should come from the html document which contains the .swf file NOT from a text file loaded INTO a .swf animation.
I hope that you can help me with this?!
I am past deadline and completely frazzled!
Thanks in advance!
