Sam:
Thanks for the additional links. (btw, I'm using Explorer 7 for
testing now). But have Opera, FireFox, Chrome, and Safari ready for
later trials too)
Over the past few hours, I have changed my .htm page so that a few
errors were removed (caused by strict XHTML rather than Transitional,
I believe), and some added debugging 'alert()' statements were added.
The function outputStatus() is automatically called (callback) on
loading being completed. It passes thru its argument (e) the success,
the I.D., and the object itself)
The results of that outputstatus() function now display as an alert
just prior to the movie clip starting.
I note that the sobj.totalFrames property is available and it shows
322 frames. *However*, the sobj.currentFrame property is apparently
*not* available and fails if I try to use it.
In all cases, when I try to use the global sobj object, the Flash
Methods are simply ignored.
Hope you can (over the weekend) give it one more look and see all
the variations of 'getobjectbyid()' that I tried without success :((
Again, below is my latest unsuccesful effort to *stop* the video
(i.e., by sobj.StopPlay() ). I *know* the statement is being accessed
because of the 'alert' showing just before it -- but nothing
happens. It just keeps running on forever.
Enjoy your Weekend (and I'll be looking over those YouTube links)
and Thanks Again for your effort to help me !
