[jQuery] Flash External Interface call and jQuery - page reloads?
I am on my first week using jQuery and have a question
regarding rewriting a standard function that gets called
from Flash using External Interface:
The html page has a <div id="flashheader">
at top that is resized from a parameter (sent from flash)
the function is pretty standard:
function animateFlashDiv(param) {
var targetHeight = Number(param);
$('#flashheader').animate({height:targetHeight}, {duration: 1000,
easing: "easeinout"});
}
The resizing works, However, the call is interpreted as a "page
reload"
so the flash file 'reanimates' - goes to frame 1 and plays over
again.....
Might there be another way to phrase or register this function to
jQuery that the
paramater is passed by the flash file - but the "page reload" is not
interpreted
Here is the flash code as well:
function callInterface(param){
ExternalInterface.call("animateFlashDiv",param);
}
pointers appreciated - quite perplexing atm
cheers
