Change HTML background color from Flash??

[MrMurk]

I need a little help on how to change the background of an HTML page containing a flash movie...from a button inside the flash movie...thanks in advance

You can create a JavaScript function to change the background of the HTML page containing the flash movie. From within flash, you can call that JavaScript function with getURL("Javascript:FunctionName(); )

I have been looking for this feature last 3 days with many methods of research in the Net. So here it is, working great:

on (release) {
    getURL("javascript:document.body.background='new_bg_pic.jpg'");
}

Sorry, the one i wrote was for changing background image. The right code for the button (only the button, no scripting elsewhere) is:

on (release) {
    getURL("javascript:document.bgColor='#six_digit_color_code");
}

Here I've put some the codes:

Changing the bg Image of my HTML via Flash is exactly what I want to do! Thank you for providing this script!

I've included the script provided by Inhan...but I'm not getting the expected results.

Please forgive me, but I am not experienced with javascript. Do i need to put a javascript function in my HTML for this to work?

How about this page??? Don't know about changing the background image, but you should be able to use the similar approach to do so...

what would I change in this function to make it change the background image instead of the color?

function changeBgColor(newBgColor) {
if (window.document && window.document.bgColor) {
document.bgColor = newBgColor;
}
}

Thank you!!!

I'm not sure if it would work on PC's too, but I modified the code and it works with Mac FF & Safari. If you want the image not to repeat, you have to add something to the code (with which I am not familiar).

In the html file, in the "head" section:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function changeBgImg(newBgImg) {
	//alert('new image is = ' + newBgImg);
	document.body.background = newBgImg 
}
-->
</script>

In the flash file:

bgImgages = new Array("1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg", "4.jpg", "5.jpg");
for (var i = 0; i<bgImgages.length; i++) {
    this["color"+i+"_btn"].id = i;
    this["color"+i+"_btn"].onRelease = function() {
        getURL("javascript:changeBgImg('images/"+bgImgages[this.id]+"')");
    };
}
