I have a code that talks to a flash movie in another frame.
It passes some variables to the movie.
It works on IE 6 on pc but not on Netscape 4.7.
It doesn't break it at least.

here is the code.

<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
<!--
function setFlash(a,b,c)
{
top.frames["nav"].document.gMovie.SetVariable ("_root.code.aSelect", "" + a);
top.frames["nav"].document.gMovie.SetVariable ("_root.code.bSelect", "" + b);
top.frames["nav"].document.gMovie.SetVariable ("_root.code.cSelect", "" + c);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body onload="javascript:setFlash(7,0,0);"></body>

isn't it an old problem that has been solved already?

I know, you are right.

I was so tired that I couldn't find that thread when I posted this thread.

I remember it working, but now for some reason it doesn't...

In the menu file I have this code that embeds the swf file. I think I probably have conflicting things in it, but since I don't know what they are, I don't know how to fix them. ANd I swear it used to work.
