(ot) Javascript Help

Ok, I need some Javascript help.

I just cannot get this script (residing in an iframe)...


<script>
parent.thisMovie('studio_loader_embed').reloadClipart();
parent.thisMovie('studio_loader_embed').showTab(2);
</script>


...to go through this script...

<script>
function thisMovie(movieName) {
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
return HTMLCollection.namedItem(movieName)
} else {
return document[movieName]
}
}
</script>


...to function on this object...


<div style="margin:0px; padding:5px; width:670px; float:left;">

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="670" height="550">
                       
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="/flash/studio_loader.swf?urlvars=1264,0,0,0,0,0" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="white" />  

<embed src="/flash/studio_loader.swf?urlvars=1264,0,0,0,0,0"
quality="high" bgcolor="white" width="670" height="550"
id="studio_loader_embed"
align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
       
</object>

</div>

---------------------------------------------------------

For the thisMovie() function I have tried all these combinations for IE:

HTMLCollection.namedItem(movieName)  // HTMLCollection is undefined
namedItem(movieName)  // Object expected
document.getElementById //  'parent.thisMovie(...)' is null or not an object



You can see this functionality work in FF by going here...

http://www.silverscreendesign.com/designlab.cfm?proid=1264

... and clicking on the "Your Cart" button in the right.  Clicking that button should make the flash movie's tab go to "Add Art"

It does not work in IE.

Someone told me that IE cannot talk to an embed tag, only an object tag, but I believe the ID vs NAME issue is tripping me up.

I would be more than happy to send a PayPal payment for your time.

Thanks,

Mik
