Hello!!

Does anyone here know the code of how to display the screen-width in a flash textfield.

I tested this,

on (release) {
_root.text = getURL ("javascript:(screen.width)");
}

but it shows the result in a browserWindow

You've got the right idea but you need to write a JS function which will return the answer to Flash. See the FSCommand library tutorial which covers how to comunicate between JS and Flash.

I have this now!!

<script language="javascript">
var screenW = screen.width;
// flashfilename is the id of the swf, as set in the object and embed code. screenWidth is the variable in the swf that holds the screen width value.
window.document.flashfilename.setVariables("screenWidth", screenW);
</script>


But I still can't find how to sent the variable from js to flash(FSCommand help here).
if you know anything please drop me a note here!!

"cheers" like YOU use to say ;)

I've always avoided thsi to be honest but from my understanding of the process this line should do the variable setting:
window.document.flashfilename.setVariables("screenWidth", screenW);
Does this code appear and get executed before the Flash movie in the HTML? Maybe you need to put the code in a function and call the function after the embed tags of the Flash file... not too sure really.

this was done by developette.com. they read the value into flash from flash using getURL("javascript:...");
here is the source i got from their site.
