How to control a flash film with JS/jQuery

i have a project where i have a movie.swf (AS2) and some buttons with js/jQuery in the html part. Now i want the buttons to control the flash. For Example pressing Button1 would do a gotoAndPlay(1) and Button2开发者_如何学Go gotoAndPlay(150) Button3 gotoAndStop(450)

The Flashmovie works with Actionscript 2.

You need to have a look at the documentation for ExternalInterface, which provides the link between JavaScript and Flash in a webpage.

The basics run along the lines of importing the library in Flash:

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

Then you can bind a routine to be called from Javascript by using addCallback():

ExternalInterface.addCallback('stopVideo', stopVideo);

function stopVideo() {
   ...
}

That provides a function called stopVideo() on the flash object on the webpage.

And you can call a Javascript function from Flash by using call():

ExternalInterface.call('updatePlayerInfo', "STOPPED");

That calls a Javascript routine called updatePlayerInfo() with the argument 'STOPPED'.

The AS3 documentation for ExternalInterface is much the same as AS2, I can not seem to locate the AS2 documentation at present.

external interface will assist you in this. above you'll find the adobe reference, below many questions on the subject. this is the same for AS2/AS3

Is there a way to call a Javascript class method from ExternalInterface?

This might be helpful to standardize how you get reference to the running swf for invoking your callbacks: jQuery SWFObject Plugin
