HTML Javascript and Flash.

Some one asked me if we could make flash and Javascript work together. The idea was to hook up a flash map onto the event list and animate the location when the user is hoovering over the list. I came up with this idea. It might not be the best but it should be close.

You can see the result down here.

Enter a city name of Europe:

The flash application was quickly made with the map tools.
Inside the HTML page you need the following script. the find button will trigger this Javascript. This function then changes a variable inside the flash application.

<script>
<!--
function PassFlash(){
window.document.movie.SetVariable("city",mycity.value);
}
//-->

</script>

Inside the flash application I check every 200 miliseconds and see if the variable has changed, In case it changed I start searching for the city and execute the animation.
