    I am told this is a good way to communicate between iframes and the current page but I cant find anything in puzzle to listen to such events.

    Is there a way?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    there is no such puzzles yet, sorry, but you can implement this with JavaScript and link with the Puzzles as show here:

    Thanks for this but I tried a few variations and cant get it to work. Maybe my situation is slightly different to those described in the manual(?):

    I have a parent app which has the verge3d app embedded as an iframe. I want the parent app to perform some function on the v3d<iframe>. Im using postMessage from the parent app to send something to the iframe but I’m just not sure how the v3d iframe picks up the message.

    I have the solution for anyone wishing to try the same thing:

    In my parent app I send the message like so:

    var myIframe = document.getElementById('v3d_iframe');//Note:I have set the ID of my iframe to v3d_iframe
    
    myIframe.contentWindow.postMessage('myMsg', '*');

    In my awesom_application.js script I make a message listener like so:

    window.onmessage = function(event){
        if (event.data == 'myMsg') {
            console.log('myMsg Message received!');
        }
    };

    However I still don’t know how I would go about sending more data (variables) to the v3d window…if anyone has any ideas let me know..

    In order to send a bunch of data to the v3d iframe you can do this:

    Parent:

    var myIframe = document.getElementById('v3d_iframe');
    myIframe.contentWindow.postMessage(
        {
            event_id: 'myMessage',
            data: {
                v1: 'value1', 
                v2: 'value2'
            }
        }, 
        "*" ); 

    v3d iFrame (in my_awesome_app.js for example):

    window.onmessage =  function(event) {
        if(event.data.event_id === 'myMessage'){
            console.log(event.data.data);
        }
    };

    Awesome! Thank you for sharing your solution! :good:

    it turns out that the data can be transferred back?

    the data can be transferred back

    What do you mean? Back to where?

    Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

    passing window.postmessage to the parent page

    window.parent.postMessage('scene_loaded', "*");

    You may try. I suppose it’s quite possible.

    Could the receiving code be placed in a “ecec script” puzzle. Also would this method fix my cross origin policy issues.

    No. JS in iFrame won’t work.
