VB6 and Javascript- how do i control a script from an application?

[Toastie]

I wrote this application and what it does is it plays flash cartoons.
It is a carrtoon viewer.
Currently i have over 100 minutes of play list.

One problem is that the user has no control over which cartoons he/she wants to play they are just a play list.

when one cartoon finishes - advert - play the next cartoon

i want to be able to pick a javascript array element from outside the web page.
Like have a button on my app which says skip cartoon.

at the moment if the users connention drops out the user has to start watching the cartoons right from the begining

a fairly tall task to ask but i just want to know if it can be done and maybe rescources as to how to go about it

hello there

VBScripts/Jscripts are executed using WScript.exe which takes in parameter a script file. try to execute that command using SHELL command.

thanx

i dont think wscript can help me
i have been searching for solutions within vbs js and i think it is not quite the right thing
maybe asp or dhtml or something

If you doing this from a vb app, i know that you can recieve events from a webbrowser object. If you load your flash page into the webbrowser then you can recieve events and call client side functions from VB. This way you can provide a full set of controls for your viewer

i thought of getting rid of the web browser and just having a flash component in my veiwer but i heard a roumor that it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in royalties to macromedia

i guess i am just going to be writing hundreds of html web pages

but there is always some sort of work around or solution right?

helo

u can set a reference to Microsoft script library in ur vb app then u can use that object to call scripts, either in vbscript or jscript, from within ur application. this way u need not to use web browser.
it is a fast, quick n small solution, i think.
thanx

getting tyred now

i have looked at another angle:

capturing the current code in vb with inet changing it in vb saving it localy and running it localy
a fairly heavy and slow process i think but hey slow computers suck anyhow
i dont know anyone that dosent have at least a 300mhz with ata 66 hard drives so should be ok
