Is there a way to affect the status bar of the browser from flash? The reason I ask is because when you mouseover a flash link, it doesn’t display the link in the status bar. is it possible to make this happen somehow?

I guess that’d be possible by swf - javascript communication, coz jscript can display something in the status… good point, it bothered me too sometimes not knowing what was linked to, but anywayz, the designer can then just put any crap in the status…but still, deserves to be looked into!!

It is possible through javascript. I saw how to do it somewhere, I’m trying to find the link.

Have to admit I thought toadclipper was a dude. And yes I’m the one who’s always posting stuff. True. Most of the stuff no one downloads anyway…

Wanna see some amazing Flash (and components too)? Try [This week’s Ultrashock’s BombShock](http://www.romiglia.com/esenciales/) (I’m sure you’ve seen this one already, Joe…). And they work with Flash 5 too.
