javascript/flash communication

Hi everybody!

I'm facing a problem concerning the interaction between the firebird browser and the flash plugin. I'm trying to send a variable to flash to stop the flash movie. It works in all browsers I tested so far (IE, Netscape 7.1, Mozilla 1.4) except in Mozilla Firebird.
I tried to copy the flashplayer.xpt (it's mentioned in the FAQ) file from the Mozilla 1.4 installation directory (.../mozilla/components) to the firebird directory (.../firebird/components) but it also didn't help.

here my little javascript:
PauseStatus = false;
function doPause()
{
PauseStatus = !PauseStatus;
window.document.sequenz.SetVariable("isPause",PauseStatus);
}

got any ideas?
help appreciated
thx
boernd

Have you looked at the Flash Click to View extension? It contains code that might be useful.

first thx for the answer!
I could fortunately solve it. It seems that I made a mistake during the installation of the plugin. Although I could play flash movies the communication didnt work. now i've reinstalled the plugin and it just works fine.
