Passing Vars to Flash fails
August 12, 2008 12:00 AM
I am having problems passing variable values from Lectora to embedded flash objects.When testing in preview mode everything works fine,when published to html the flash functions that expect data from Lectora don't work.Code inspection shows that the parameters passed to the flash functions are strings that should have been 'eval'ed in javascript.Eg instead of the value of a 'VarInteractionIdvar' that is needed in my flash component the string 'VarInteractionIdvar.getValue()' is passed.Is this a bug, or is this by design, so I should call a javascript eval from within flash to get what is needed?I somehow have the idea that the generated javascript code should do the eval.Below a sample of the code generated by Lectora(an action that should pass an 'interactionid' to the flash component). This won't work.function action3498(fn){ anim3495.setFlashPlayer(); anim3495.flsPlayer.setIdFromJs ( 'VarInteractionIdvar.getValue()' ); if(fn) eval(fn);}Shouldn't it be something like this:function action3498(fn){ anim3495.setFlashPlayer(); anim3495.flsPlayer.setIdFromJs ( eval('VarInteractionIdvar.getValue()') ); if(fn) eval(fn);}
