Apocolypse2005 · May 31st, 2006, 08:15 AM

Hi all,
How can I make javascript write out on the same html page flash text variables. the text fields in flash are called var1 and var2 and here is the code im using,

This is the javascript code which calls the variables out of the flash movie which is embeded beneath
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>

</SCRIPT>

This would be the button which activates the javascript code
<INPUT type="button" name="text" onChange="gogogo()" ><br>

Below is the embedded flash movie
<object name="mars" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" id="Mars Lander" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Mars Lander.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="Mars Lander.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="Mars Lander" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Please help quickly!

var forward1 = Mars Lander.var1.value
var left1 = Mars Lander.var2.value

You cannot have an id with spaces in it such as Mars Lander, change it to MarsLander.
You can not write to a loaded page with document.write, you need to set the innerHTML of an element such as a div:

Code:

<div id="divVariables"></div>

//code
document.getElementById("divVariables").innerHTML = <values here>;
