Thanx Buzz
Thats fine, and propably noone will need more than nine externals, but if
anyone from MACR reads this, please note that the on line manuals for d8 as
well as D8.5 indicates that any name can be used.
Below is an example from the on line help:
****************************************************************************
*****************************************
externalParamName()
Syntax
externalParamName(n)
Description
Function; returns the name of a specific parameter in the list of external
parameters from an HTML <EMBED> or <OBJECT> tag. This function is valid only
for Shockwave movies that are running in a browser. It cannot be used with
Director movies or projectors.
If n is an integer, externalParamName returns the nth parameter name in
the list.
If n is a string, externalParamName returns n if any of the external
parameter names matches n. The match is not case sensitive. If no matching
parameter name is found, externalParamName returns VOID.
Example
This statement places the value of a given external parameter in the
variable myVariable:
if externalParamName ("swURLString") = "swURLString" then
myVariable = externalParamValue ("swURLString")
end if
