The code should be applied in the same spot you are applying the call to fancybox. Many people have this in a different JS file that contains other actions but it could be placed directly on your HTML page as well. If you are still stuck, I would suggest getting it to work with the methods described in fancybox's documentation and then try to add the dynamic functionality.

i added the above mentioned iFrame-code to my site but it doesn´t work. Fancybox just opens the link in a new window…

do i add the code to the index.html or to the fancybox javascript?

Gary,

I took a look at your link and I would suggest first verifying that your FancyBox call works with the conventional method first (just make the link visible). If it is working as intended then double check your Action Script to make sure that it is calling the function correctly.

Hi Petra,

It might be an issue with the way you are calling the function from Flash. In Flash you need to have something like this:

getURL("javascript: flashFancybox (500,600,'http://google.com')");

This should call the JavaScript function which triggers the Fancy Box.

Best,
