Get a plugin attribute and use the value in a as3 function (help with the syntax)

Hello There!

Thank you very much in advance!

The question:

How to get a plugin attribute value (located in the krpano xml file) and pass it to a flash plugin, in order to trigger an action (in flash).

The story:

I have a scrolling thumbnails plugin inside krpano, which shows a red frame around the corresponding thumbnail when a scene loads.
As a default the red frame always starts in the first thumbnail, as the virtual tour always loads the first scene first.

Recently I purchased the SWFaddress plugin, which allows me to load any scene from the same html file, changing the url.
So what I would like to do is to put the red frame in the corresponding scene loaded.

DO NOT PANIC! I know exactly how to do that, but my action scrip 3 knowledge is very limited.

Roughly, this is the code I need:

//get the path attribute value from the swfaddress plugion and put it in a variable 
var scene_path:Object = krpano.get("plugin[swfaddress].path");
 
//the input should be /pano01/ or /pano02/, etc... but it returns noting. Not 'nulll'. It just  prints a blank like     
trace (scene_path);


// trigger this action
change_seleted();


//if the attribute  == '/pano01/' then put the frame around the first item of the array [0]
//if the attribute  == '/pano02/' then put the frame around the second item of the array [1]
function change_seleted () {
    if (scene_path == "/pano01/") { myScroll.selectItemAt(0); }
    if (scene_path == "/pano02/") { myScroll.selectItemAt(1); }
}

So after all it is just a syntax thing.

The example:

Virtual tour

Thank you !!!

Thanks for your quick answer Klaus!

I followed your instructions but Flash throws an error:

TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at scroll_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

This is the code:

import krpano_as3_interface;


var krpano:krpano_as3_interface = krpano_as3_interface.getInstance();


var scene_path:Object = krpano.get("plugin[swfaddress].path");

I read 4 previous threads regarding this error but I couldn't find a definitive fix for the problem.

Here are all the files involved:

Example

main.xml

scroll.fla

krpano_as3_interface.as

I am using version 1.0.8.12

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi all!

Sorry for bringing this thread alive again but I still haven't found what's wrong with this thing.
I really would appreciate anyone's help.

I've tried to simplify the problem to it's simpliest form and it the previous post I supplied all the files involved.
To make it even easier I've put everything together in a zip file.

Thank you very much in advance!
