Flash And Javascript Interaction - swfobject js questions

sad1sm0
I don't know if anyone on here is familiar with this script. You can check it out here. Basically it's a script that is supposed to give you javascript control over a flash object. I am using it for a flv player. My question is this. I would like to display the current file's title in a span element on the page, but the function described to gather the information for the current file doesn't seem to work for me. The function, as outlined on on this page looks like this:

CODE
function getUpdate(typ,pr1,pr2,swf) {
  if(typ == 'state') {
    alert('the current state is: '+pr1');
  }
}


I'm not even remotely sure how this is supposed to work, and I just keep getting an error that says that it isn't a function. I am using FireFox. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

So you are trying to run javascript actions from flash? Whenever I've done that I never did something as complicated as that. There may be an advantage to doing it another way but i'm not sure, but this is how I would always do it:

CODE
geturl("java script:functionname();");

where functionname is the name of the javascript function you are trying to call from flash.

    NUMBER ONE! The current world record for a 100m dash is 9.72 seconds right?? But it's been
    broken before and it's more than likely that at some point it will be broken. So what is the
    highest that the 100m dash record will ever go. Technically there is no maximum that the record can
    get to right? I mean you can always go a bit faster. But there also must be a limit to how fast
    people can travel right? Everyone says you cant go faster than the speed of light, as we know the

  5. Lesser Known Useful Javascript Features

    Variables Javascript assigns every variable a type which changes as we assign different
    values to the variable. We can get the type of a variable using the ' typeof ' operator.
    For eg., CODE var hello = "Welcome to Trap17"; var year = 2008; alert(typeof hello
    ); alert(typeof year ); The above lines will output the type of the first variable
    'hello' as String and the second variable 'year' as Number . The types of
    Javascript variables are Boolean, Function, Number, Object and String . A variable with ....

    of charge, but on mine it depends as well on the "companies" to which you address. Not from all you

    mess around and click the buttons for a little bit you will notice this happening. This is a problem
    because people visiting the site will sometimes click the button once and be like oh I guess the
    link is broken and never come back, if anyone has a solution to what could be the problem it would
    be awesome. This is one of my first custom flash banners and im just confused what....

  17. Simple Javascript And Password System
    How to protect your pages with password (6)
    The quickest way to get a password protection system up and running is to use a Prompt box in
    JavaScript that has a title like "Enter your Email Address". Only you and the relevant users know
    what the password should be, could even be one each, that can be sorted out at the next page then
    pass the "input" directly through the url by changing the .href, like
    http://www.iSource.net.nz/users/?leTmeIn= The page that then processes this should also check for
    the referring page, and three fails from an IP if you like the php (the next page): CODE

  21. Flash Flash Revolution
    (12)
    Anyone play this? It's basically DDR except the songs are way faster and you play them with your
    fingers. There are two basic styles that people play, one with two fingers and the other with
    four... Two indexes - can make it hard to do some of the faster songs, but when you're fast
    enough, you mostly get perfects. Index/middle - makes it easier, except you'll get more
    goods-averages on the left and right arrows. And since the up and down arrows are on top of each
    other, 4 finger can be a little akward to use. When I play, I arch my right index finger and ....
