After getting an flash-object reference within document, I can't call the
SetVariable method :
var mapObject = IE ? document.all("map") : document["map"];
if (mapObject)
{
mapObject.SetVariable("ids", id);
mapObject.SetVariable("enlarge", "1");
mapObject.TCallLabel("/", "loadPois");
}
The mapObject is found, but Mozilla says :
Error: mapObject.SetVariable is not a function
This was working with Mozilla 1.4 branch
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML with the following code :
<html>
<head>
</head>
<script language="javascript">
function run_test()
{
mapObject=document["map"];
if (!mapObject)
{
alert("No Object found");
return;
}
try
{
mapObject.SetVariable("fake", 0);
}
catch (err)
{
alert ("Error SetVariable :"+err);
}
}
</script>
<body>
<p>This is a flash plug-in interaction Test</p>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="600" height="450" ID="map">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.mappy.com/x/demo.swf"/>
<param name="menu" value="false"/>
<embed NAME="map" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
menu="false" width="600" height="450" src="http://www.mappy.com/x/demo.swf"
swLiveConnect="true" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></embed>
</object>
<p>
<input type="button" onclick="run_test()" value="Hit Me !"/>
<p>
</body>
</html>
2. Load the page in Mozilla 1.5x, wait for the flash film to be loaded
3. Hit the "Hit Me" Button
Actual Results:
Mozilla reports :
Error: mapObject.SetVariable is not a function
Expected Results:
No error, communicate with Flash plugin and pass it the value
The flash plugin is an ActiveX object. Maybe this could be related

> The flash plugin is an ActiveX object.
Not in Mozilla. Mozilla uses the <embed> in the code you pasted.
Over to plug-ins.
I've been seeing a bunch of bugs on win32 recently that hint at some sort of
binary-compay problems with plug-ins (like this bug). Any idea what may have
changed since 1.4 in the way we build on Windows?

Well, The bug as gone away by installing the last macromedia plugin version
7,0,14,0.
The problem arise for me when upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5
Maybe I can try some combinations of updates/fresh-installs if it may help.

When you upgraded to the new version, did you install into a different
directory, or delete the old directory before installing?
If so, I think this is a dupe of (or depends on) bug 233533, since bug 233533.
Read that over and see if it sounds familiar.

I just wanted to let you know that this doesn't seem to be a problem with Flash
Player 8 beta. If you do the install thing into a seporate directory, it doesn't
copy the flashplayer.xpt file over, but fscommand and flash scripting still work
anyway.
