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);
    }
};
```

it turns out that the data can be transferred back?

What do you mean? Back to where?

Puzzles and JS. 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 meaning at all.

passing window.postmessage to the parent page

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

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