Flash MX Script Execution (Page Tremor/Shake)

[SSL]

Hi there.

I have Dreamweaver pretty well under control, but I am a complete ignoramus when it comes to Flash.

I have converted a GIF animation to Flash, but I am unable to insert/execute a script on an exact frame during the movie.

I am trying to make the screen shake (as in the website for "3rd Rock" tv show: http://www.3rdrock.com/home.html) on exactly frame 70, but no combination of action scripts seem to have an effect.

I assume the tremor script goes in the HTML and an action script in Flash should trigger it. Am I close..?

Can anyone take pitty and help, or do I need to learn the whole program to get this to work?

Thank you very much (I hope).

Okay, well it's mostly done with JS and interactivity with Flash commands.

Stick this code in your HTML page with the SWF you want to interact. Make sure <SWLIVE tag in the embed of the SWF is TRUE

Then you call the JS with functions within Flash.

something like;

on (release) {
fscommand ("send_var", shake_xy);
}
something along them lines.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">

function shake_xy(n) {
if (self.moveBy) {
for (i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {
self.moveBy(0,i);
self.moveBy(i,0);
self.moveBy(0,-i);
self.moveBy(-i,0);
}
}
}
}
function shake_x(n) {
if (self.moveBy) {
for (i = 10; i > 0; i--) {
for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {
self.moveBy(i,0);
self.moveBy(-i,0);
}
}
}
}
