                      getURL (“trivPrevPage()”);
}

Flash button action for Next

                      getURL (“trivNextPage()”);
}

Flash button action for Home - or any specific Page (assuming your home is index.html)

                      getURL ("trivExitPage('index.html',true)"); 
}

**To go to a specific page replace ‘index.html’ with correct page

Exit button

        getURL("exitTitle()");
}

Lectora “external HTML object, type: top of file Scripting” ‘test’ being the lectora title name.



Open a New Window (this one isn't for Lectora, but could probably be modified?)

on (release) {
getURL ("NewWindow=window.open('ShowPopup.php','newWin', 'width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,sc rollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
} 

Writing/Editing a variable from Flash to Lectora.

getURL("VarVARIABLENAME.set('Yes')");

(Or whatever you want written to the variable...)


Showing/Hiding an image/object from Flash to Lectora.
getURL("OBJECTHTMLNAME.actionShow();");

(Or whatever you want the action to be "show, hide, etc"...)

Flash ActionScript 3.0

     var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
     navigateToURL(request,"_self") ;
}
invButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoNextPage);

Go to Previous Page:
function gotoPreviousPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
     var url:String = "trivPrevPage()";
     var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
     navigateToURL(request,"_self") ;
}
invButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoPreviousPage ); (Note: "invButton" is the button instance) (Note: "invButton" is the button instance

To get the name of an object in Lectora go to File>Preferences then check the “Show HTML-published object names in object properties” checkbox. Then double-click an object and its name will be in the upper-right corner of the dialogue popup.
