Hiding an item in Flash with a Lectora button.

The problem is that you must add callback in Flash only after the DOM is fully loaded. So you have to check for whether the page is fully loaded before adding the callback in Flash.

Here's a very detailed example from Adobe: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7cb1.html

Here's a working sample from me: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11433463/trivantis/ext-int/lectora/html/index.html

Here's the source for my sample (Lectora and Flash included): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11433463/trivantis/ext-int/lectora/lectora-by-www.intea.lv.zip

I have a function in Flash that works with a Flash button call ShowTranscript.

My flash code for the ExternalInterface.addCallback is:

ExternalInterface.addCallback("transcriptFunction", ShowTranscript);

My Lectora onMouseClick:

Flash Command

Target: lectoria_test

Command: Call Function

Command Settings: Name: transcriptFunction Value: 0

Flash isn't giving me an error when I publish it. Once publish, the Lectora button that I have the Function Call on does nothing.

I did try the Command Setting Value as Null (since you can't have it blank) and Flash didn't like that when it was ran within the published HTML.

1. Please show your code both in JS and AS.

2. Please explain 'not working' in more detail, e.g. does it produce any errors in JS and/or AS?

Easter miracle :D

Thanks Ssneg,

I owe you one! Works GREAT!!!

Ssneg,

Something we have to do with our product is make an .exe. Our previous version used SABA publisher and we were using an 3party HTML to EXE program to make our .exe. When we try that now, page number are not coming up. So I thought I would try making the .exe in Lectora. It won’t let External HTML Objects be published in an .exe. Any ideas?

Thanks, Ramona
