The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SWF file not responding to commands from GetElementById

Asked by kipley in Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Flash, JavaScript

Tags: macromedia, dreamweaver, flash, CS3

I have a pressing deadline to finish an HTML page with a SWF file that is supposed to be triggered by four text titles on that same page. As you click on each title, the SWF file should jump to a specific frame. Should.

The SWF file plays great on its own, but when I try the text links, nothing happens.

Here is the code that I am using for each text link:

<a href="#"  onClick="document.getElementById('movie').gotoAndPlay(frameNumber);">
                THIS IS THE TEXT SECTION BEING LINKED
                </a>

And here is how I am ID'ing the SWF file...

<object id="movie" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="535" height="510" title="Portfolio">
      <param name="movie" value="files/Portfolio-Planning.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <embed name="movie" src="files/Portfolio-Planning.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="535" height="510"></embed>
    </object>

So that's about it. Am I completely missing something here, or is it just a matter of one detail missed? Any quick help would be greatly appreciated... I hate to admit how many hours I've put into trying to figure this out over the past day!
