Making ActiveX, Flash, and other object parameters dynamic

You can make the parameters of Java applets and plug-ins dynamic, as well as the parameters of ActiveX, Macromedia Flash, Shockwave, Director, and Generator objects.

Before starting, make sure the fields in your recordset hold data that’s appropriate for the object parameters you want to bind.

To make object parameters dynamic:

1. In Design view, select an object on the page and open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
2. Click the Parameters button.

   The Parameters dialog box appears.

   

3. If your parameter does not appear in the list, click the Plus (+) button and enter a parameter name in the Parameter column.
4. Click the parameter’s Value column, and then click the lightning-bolt icon to specify a dynamic value.

   A list of data sources appears.

5. Select a data source from the list.

   The data source should hold data that’s appropriate for the object parameter you want to bind. If no data sources appear in the list, or if the available data sources don’t meet your needs, define a new data source. For instructions, see Defining Sources of Dynamic Content.

6. Click OK.
