Trigger thickbox from flash

i wonder if somebody knows how to trigger thickbox from onRelease() event in flash.

is that possible?

Solution

  • You can use the ActionScript3 ExternalInterface class to call a JavaScript function on your HTML page like this:

    ExternalInterface.call("your_javascript_function()");

    Your JavaScript calls, must be in quotes.

    I haven't used ThickBox, but I am sure you use JavaScript to interact with it.

    EDIT*

    Just looked at the Thickbox API and i think your JavaScript call will look something like this:

    tb_show("","mycontent.html?height=500&width=400","");

    Got that code from here. I think the tricky thing will be overlaying HTML content on-top of Flash content. There are a few forum posts about this around. I will edit my answer if I come across one with a good solution.
