This is using SWFObject with the content DIV INSIDE of the <form></form> tag and SWFFormFix
This fails for me in Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 and works properly in Firefox 1.5, 2.0 and Opera 9.00 beta.

Sitemap:
  • OUTSIDE FORM with SWFObject (works correctly)
  • INSIDE FORM with SWFObject (does not work in IE)
  • INSIDE FORM with EMBED (does not work in IE)
  • OUTSIDE FORM with SWFObject and SWFFormFix (works correctly)

    Also, check this page out - it demonstrates bidirectional ExternalInterface() communication inside a form in IE and includes the FLA!

    And don't remember how you got here: Steve Kamerman's Blog

    • You should be able to select a day / time / duration from the calendar and Flash will run this command: 

    ExternalInterface.call("getDateRangeFromChooser", [startDate,endDate,start_element,end_element])

    ...that will call the Javescript function "getDateRangeFromChooser()" and pass an array of four arguments to it, which in turn will set the two text boxes to the start date chosen and the calculated end date.

     

    This page requires Adobe Flash Player.
