Accessing preloaded images from parent script too use in child script. How?
- by Matt
I'm trying to update an image in a parent window with clickable links in a child window. I've preloaded the images in the parent window with one javascript file. "scriptss.js"
My problem is I need to access the preloaded images of the parent window with the childscript "scriptremote.js" Thanks again for all the JS Help!
The JS (scriptss.js)
var newWindow = null;
window.onload = init;
var i = 0;
image_object = new Image();
myImages = new Array(); // declare array
myImages[0]="images/img1.jpg" // load array
myImages[1]="images/img2.jpg"
myImages[2]="images/img3.jpg"
myImages[3]="images/img4.jpg"
myImages[4]="images/img5.jpg"
myImages[5]="images/img6.jpg"
Here's the HTML for parent window:
<img src="" width="200px" height="200px" id="myimage" name="myimage" /></img>
Here's the JS for child window:
window.onload = init;
function init()
{
}
function first_image()
{
window.parent.image_object.src = myImages[3]; //Problem happens here I think
document.getElementById("myimage")window.parent.src = window.parent.image_object.src;
}
The HTML Child Window
<h1>My Remote</h1>
<a href="#" id="first" onclick="first_image()" >First Image</a>
</br>
