Here’s our goal: in a website, show a nice menu “à la” iPhone in Flash and when we click on a menu, show a part of the site “under” the Flash menu.

Two options:

  1. create a page with the
    Flash menu that has an iFrame and
    with Flash, open the menu in that
    iFrame;
  2. create one page with a div
    on its bottom, with Flash, launch a
    JavaScript (if you have any better idea please tell me !) function that downloads via AJAX the desired menu.

My #1 objective is to have only one page. Ideally it would embed the Flash object and launch a JavaScript function.

PS: I hate iFrames. iFrames are evil to me.

Don’t hesitate to correct my question to make it proper English !

Thanks,

Olivier

    Yes, this is very possible using ExternalInterface in the Flash document. That link explains the whole process.

    A bigger question is that it sounds like you are using Flash to duplicate an iPhone animation and I imagine (unless you are doing the “Flip” animation) that it could easily be reproduced with normal JavaScript animation, possibly with a library like jQuery or MooTools to help normalize browser differences. You can even do the 3D animations in Safari 4.
