custom swfloader events

[phil_n]

hi!

i was wondering if it is possible to dispatch events in my custom swfloader and then catch it in the javascript api.

something like this:

//this function is inside my swfloader

private function onMouseLeave(evt:Event)
{
dispatchEvent(new Event("elementRollOut"));
}

//this function is inside my html javascript code:

function onTemplateReady_FLASH(event) {
modExp.removeEventListener(brightcove.api.events.ExperienceEvent.TEMPLATE_READY, onTemplateReady_FLASH);

mouseHandler = modExp.getElementByID("mouseHandler");
mouseHandler .addEventListener('elementRollOver', onOverlayRollOver);
mouseHandler .addEventListener('elementRollOut', onOverlayRollOut);

thanks, philipp

  There is no native support in the BC API for this but you can use the native ExternalInterface Flash Player API to call a JS function in your page from your SWF plugin
