Hi
We have an Arabic educational application in Director 11.5, published originally as projector for desktop use. Since Director don't support “right to left” languages, the application uses an ActivX component to call external encoded html and load it into a textarea container, in this way the Arabic language can be written and redden.
since ActiveX is not sockwave-safe and cannot be used , im using swf as an input textarea. it seems ok ( i dont read Arabic so i cant tell if its correct), the important thing for this stage is that i can write text and no errors comes from the shockwave player.
The main problem:
the words been typed in the swf , should be sent to the the Lingo script in Director, for example there is a "speed typing test " that check if all the typed words are correct.
in the original the application uses:
sprite(120).navigate(the moviePath & "assets\t.html")
to load the html into the textarea and uses and:
on hideQuitDialog me if the frame > 45 then mySprite.locV = 485 mySprite.puppet = 0 mySprite.navigate("Javascript: focusText()") end if end
to get some javascript from the html.
my question is how to pass the swf input data to Lingo? what code should i use, either in Flash AC3 or in Lingo in Director to make it happen?
Tx
