using javascript to communicate with flash

Mar 10th, 2007

i've been doing some research on fs command, but i haven't found a true answer to my problem. What i would like to do is load an image into a flash file using the loadMovie("image.jpg") command. I want to do this so i could use the same flash container on each of my pages, but change the image that appears each time. Any ideas how i could do this?

I guess i was looking for something like this:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

<script language = "JavaScript"><!--
function PassFlash(){
    window.document.movie.SetVariable("text", "hello");
}
//-->
</script>

But the only problem with this script is that i need to assign a button with this variable name and i need to click it to make the image load. This is also an old script (for an older version of Flash Player). All i want to do is have the image load when i start the page.

Thankyou in advance.
