Dear Benjamin : I user your smaple code, But error mesage is "elements is undefined"
I need to develop a Desktop Gadget for the interaction bwtween FLASH and JavaScript like this -- http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15683#exampleas3 this funtion is very important, but i tried many times......still not be worked. function getFlashMovie(movieName) { var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1; return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName]; } In the above function, I must get the name(or id) of <object> In main.js file, How can I get the name of <object> in Desktop Gadget's main.xml ? <object classid="..." name="obj_id"> <param ..... /> </object> elements.name("obj_id") ? object.name("obj_id") ? Thanks very much.
