I am developing a WordPress theme. In one page I have to use iframe

  • 0

I am developing a WordPress theme. In one page I have to use iframe to get content from another website. That page is an image slider and it uses flash for it. I don’t have any idea about flash. It uses something like AC_FL_RunContent.

I need to get information of the images to show some text based on the image. I mean different text for different image. Is there any way, can I pull out the information like the name of the image from this iframe?

I have full access to the flash file too. But they are on different domain.
Thanks in advance.

    If you have access to the source file(s) for the flash you might be able to work around the iFrame’s sandbox by using a LocalConnection to a small, invisible proxy flash file in your template that runs subsequent JS calls. It would require you to make changes to the original image gallery and recompile it.

    The model would be as follows:

    1. Image gallery flash sends file name as a message over LocalConnection.
    2. Proxy flash recieves message, uses ExternalInterface to call JS function on page.
    3. JS function on page recieves function call from proxy flash and performs relevant actions.

    It’s not pretty I admit, but it’s the only solution I can think of if the image gallery is a flash.
