How does one get access to the Flash object's vars in IE?

Question

Is there a way in IE Browsers to access the Flash object? In this case it is made with mootools swiff. It´s working fine in all other browsers, because they can wrap this object correctly. But it does not work in IE.

Here is the script:

var swfObj = $('mbImage').getElement('object');
swfObj.get('data');  <--- Thats not working in IE

Answer 1

It's a general issue with flash objects in IE - it's very difficult to extend them with MooTools methods, actually MooTools 1.2 is not doing so, and never will.

That said, on the upside, new beta of MooTools 1.3 has a lot of amazing modifications in its core, and now flash objects are extended with MooTools methods.

Please find the latest beta at GitHub or download the official one from the MooTools Blog
