How do I getUrl if I need this code...for GreyBox

programming flash
1

Id like to display GreyBox over my flash site. It involves putting this in the head…

<script type="text/javascript">
    var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://mydomain.com/greybox/";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="greybox/AJS.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="greybox/AJS_fx.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="greybox/gb_scripts.js"></script>
<link href="greybox/gb_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

It is called from a html link like this…


<a href="http://google.com/" onclick="return GB_showFullScreen('Google', this.href)">Visit Google</a>

How would I write a flash function to call this from flash and have it communicate with the webpage flash is sitting in?

Thanks!
Rich

I actually was disappointed with the Greybox. It did not work well over flash for me.

I went with Shadowbox. You can get it online.

You will need to follow the instructions provide with shadowbox and put the proper .js references in the head.

Here’s the function I found on the net that connects the flash movie to the Shadowbox.

<script type=“text/javascript”>

function abrirSB(type, title, url)
{
Shadowbox.init({skipSetup: true});
Shadowbox.open({type: type, title: title, content: url, height: 800, width: 600});
};

</script>

Then you will need actionscript for your button, something like…

on (release) {
getURL(“javascript:abrirSB(‘swf’, ‘Breakfast Menu’, ‘http://www.mysite.com/menus/breakfast.swf’);”, “_self”);

}
