Window Status Bar

[toxalot]

Is there some way to change the window status bar from within Flash?

yes, with javascript in a getURL:

getURL("javascript:window.status='No one looks at the status bar!';return true;");

but it will stay that way then until you set it back to something else...

That gives me an error

'return' statement outside of function

you're right, sorry I've tried a good few variations and it's not happening for me - someone come to our rescue...

[toxalot]

Which Brighton are you from?

Jennifer

[jimburton]

There's more than one? :eek: The one with the bad weather...

[toxalot]

That still doesn't say a whole lot. :)

I just asked cuz I'm from Brighton.

not sure, but try:

getURL("javascript:window.status='" + msg + "';void(0)");

[jimburton]

nice one tg, that's it - void(0) having the same effect as return false would in a function...thx
