Re: Javascript control on Safari with Flash 7 and 8

My friend asked me this but I could not figure out why. Below is a
html page and include some _javascript_ to control the play and rewind
of the swf file shape.swf. It works in Safari with Falsh plug-in 8
installed but could not work with Flash 7 (would report that obj.play
is not a recognized object etc).

  I also tried it with FireFox 1.5.0 (Flash 8 plug-in)  and it also
reports obj.play is not a function. Can anyone help point out what is
the problem?

Thanks,

Leon
