Hi all. I have a query regarding using a javascript function to change a class, however, it needs to get called when a flash button is pressed. It's easier if you take a look at this page:

So here's my working example (http://www.webmegood.com/temp/footytips/test1/tourbox.htm)

It's just one Flash button that needs working in the same way as the "Placing Win/Place Bets" javascript button on the top right. Obviously the left hand menu is using javascript to change style without a problem. I just need the javascript that responds to the flash button click, to latch onto the top button and change its style. This is the bit I'm having difficulty with. Here's my updated code:

HTML:

<title>Sporting Bet Guided Video Tour</title>

<link href="css/guided-tour-box.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />





<script type="text/javascript">
function changeFlash(url){
var d=document;
if (d.all) d.all("flashMov1").movie = url;
else d.embeds["flashMov2"].src = url;
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function highlightLinks(obj) {
var linkList = document.getElementById("rollover").getElementsByTagName("a");
for (i = 0; i < linkList.length; i++) {
linkList[i].className = "";
}
obj.className = "selected";
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function changeFlashAndHighlight(url){
var d=document;
if (d.all) d.all("flashMov1").movie = url;
else d.embeds["flashMov2"].src = url;
}
</script>



</head>
