Passing data to JavaScript

Passing data to JavaScript

Just to specify (as I 've spent hundreds of hours on the cross
browser/platform issues).

I will not guarantee the following, but believe it is true :)

Calling javascript from Flash via getURL works on:

Windows/IE4+
Windows/NS4.* (with liveconnect)
Windows/NS6+
Windows/Mozilla (including FireBird)
Mac/IE5+

Opera (both platforms) and Safari (on mac) I cannot remember at present. But
I 'm pretty sure, that it works just fine.

LiveConnect was only necessary with the "old " netscape plugin model, that
existed up until 4.7. Thereafter Netscape is actually Mozilla (NS6 is Moz0.9
AFAIK).

The other way around (from javascript to flash) only Windows/IE and the old
netscape plugin model works (nobody has ns4.7 though).

Personnaly, I 've hacked it through javascript refreshing a hidden frame with
the custom parameters including a swf file doing feedback to main swf file
via LocalConnection - quite brilliant (if I may say so), but only Flash6+.
