Flash - Director Integration

[defcon5000 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I am currently working on a multimedia project that encompasses both director and flash. So far I have been successful with communicating from flash to director by using the popular getURL("lingo:Function\"variable\""); or the getURL("event:... command however, there are some extreme flaws to the integration between actionscript and lingo.

The first of those problems would be good resources outlining specific issues. Currently an old flash script we have been using to categorize our product datasheets was using dynamic html text scripts that actively linked pdf files on the CD ROM drive. However, when integrating this script into director the HTML portion of the script no longer works. I could turn the html script to a dynmic movie script that takes the place of a scrolling text box; however, that takes tremendous time to convert everything....

Does anyone know of a script that can be used in HTML text boxes that translates from flash to director. Anything similar to the getURL would work but it has to work as a text link.

Your bring PDFs into your browser?

( looks like you have a hande on flash-director link)

Just one aside, simple html text only pages may be displayed in director
text members by setting the html property of a text member to the hhml
source code.
