flash embed ID

Posted: Jun 26, 2009

Hi all!

How can I make the Flash Embed tool give an ID to the created flash object?? I don't see an option for this. The only option was to create an ID for the container but I would like the flash object itself to have one so I can add onClick and other events to it!

You can still do what you want without assigning an ID to the flash obj itself. Assuming your container's ID is "container" and the first (or only) object element is the one you want to work with, try something like this to access it:

var myFlashObj = document.getElementById('container').getElementsByTagName('object')[0];
If you're using a library, you can use its shorthand, of course.

getElementsByTagName returns an array-like structure called a collection whereby you can access each item by its index, so if your object element were the 2nd item, you'd use [1] instead of [0].

HTH.
