Changing the HTML page background color from Flash
There are many differnt ways of doing it. The easiest way is, setting the backgroung properties in JavaScript right from Flash, without having to add any javascript code in to your HTML page. A very important thing to remenber is, use the (=) sign after the property name. The examples bellow compare how it can be done in Flash 7 and Flash 8.
Flash 7
Add the code below in your button:
| //Change the original background color to grey using the getURL parametter on (press) { getURL("javascript:document.bgColor='#CCCCCC'"); } |
Flash 8
1 - Add the code bellow in the first frame of your move:
| //Import the ExternalInterface class import flash.external.ExternalInterface; //Change the original background color to grey my_Button.onPress = function() { ExternalInterface.call("document.bgColor=","#CCCCCC"); }; |
2- Publish your move pressing Ctrl+F12 for PC or Cmd+F12 for MAC, now open the HTML page created by Flash in a HTML editor or text editor such Dreamweaver or Textedit, etc.
3- Find the world allowScriptAccess , it appears 3 times in your HTML page. Now change it from sameDomain to always.
4- It is done! Now just open your HTML page in any Browser and see if it works. I have successfully tested it on IE6, Firefox 2.0, Safari 2.0 and Safari 3.0.
