How to control a Flash movie from Javascript and use Javascript from Flash movies
Personally I dislike the usage of Flash in my websites but our clients request a lot that they want animations. Now it happens that they want the animation to act upon an action to a non-flash object. This can be difficult if you have no idea how to do that. If you read below, you should have no problem with getting this job done 
Control your Flash Movie from Javascript:
// Play movie document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').Play(); // Stop movie document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').StopPlay(); // Rewind movie to beginning document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').Rewind(); // Goto next frame of MovieClip document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').TGetProperty(nameOfTargetMovieClip, propertyIndex); // Goto next frame of TimeLine document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').GotoFrame(frameNum); // Zoom in or out the flash movie document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').Zoom(relative percentage); // Set variable and make it available via ActionScript document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').SetVariable(variableName, variableValue); // Get variable for usage in JavaScript var myVariable = document.getElementById('myFlashMovie').GetVariable(variableName);
To control Javascript functions you can call it like this:
ActionScript 1/2
getURL("javascript:name_of_your_function();");
ActionScript 3 direct call
var url:String = "javascript:name_of_your_function();"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); try { navigateToURL(request); } catch (e:Error) { trace("Error occurred!"); }
ActionScript 3 event mouse click call
movieClipName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink); function callLink:void { var url:String = "javascript:name_of_your_function();"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); try { navigateToURL(request); } catch (e:Error) { trace("Error occurred!"); } }
For some more information about these methods, please check out the Adobe website.
I hope this helps you out with getting that Flash Movie behave like you want it to
