Question

We are working on a website where we have a Flash element that shows a couple of movies, and some HTML elements of video thumbs, of some other videos.

When viewing the next video, we want to highlight the thumb below, with a function that the Flash can call.

I’m thinking something like this: (This obviously doesn’t work)

function highlightMovie(4) {
    $(".thumb-wrapper div").removeClass("active");
    //The "4" in the below line, comes from the "4" in the Function
    $(".thumb-wrapper div:nth-child(4)").addClass("active");
}

How do I do this? How can I call a function that doesn’t have a predefined selector, but can select a nth-child??

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

function highlightMovie(number) {
    $(".thumb-wrapper div").removeClass("active");
    //The "4" in the below line, comes from the "4" in the Function
    $(".thumb-wrapper div:nth-child("+number+")").addClass("active");
}

not sure if that is this what you’re asking?
what does not work?
