ActionScript 2.0 :: Calling JavaScript Function From Flash Button
Sep 30, 2003
I can't get this to work. I need to call a Javascript function from a button in flash. The code is as follows:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:nameOfMyFunction('whatever.html ')");
}
This is working, so I got the call right. But what I really want to do is have that url (html) to be a variable within flash.
on (release) {
Myurl="[URL]";
getURL("javascript:nameOfMyFunction('Myurl')");
}
This doesn't work. How do you use a flash variable as a javascript function parameter?

let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something. So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item. So issue is? If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine. but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error. so i just wanna ask that "does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??

I am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query

I'm trying to call a javascript function from within my swf and I'm having a couple of problems which are confussing me somewhat. I'm using this to call the function from flash:
ExternalInterface.call("pgcover"); I know that this is calling the function as I have set it trigger an alert action and this comes up properly. But I don't want the function to trigger an alert, this is just for testing purposes. I instead want it to change the styling on a div. I have set up a test page where I have asigned the function to a button and this works, the div display changes from block to none. When I get the swf to call the function setup to do the same thing, nothing happens.

I have what I think is an easy question but I am having problems with it... Using AS2 / CS3, I am calling a javascript function from Flash, but i would like the value to be a variable and I cant figure out how to do it. the started code is below and I need direction on how to make "myVar" actually a variable.
var myVar = newValue_txt.text;
btnOne.onRelease = function() { getURL("javascript:testFunction('myVar') ");
}
this is a stripped down version of what i am trying to do, but i think it gets the main point across.

I'm trying to make it so a button I use in a swf talks to the swf's container and says...
fscommand ("javascript:changeMap('hodson.htm');")
so that in turn
function changeMap(building) {
document.getElementById('buildingINFO').src=buildi ng;
}
But that doesn't work. I also tried getURL in front of the AS instead of fscommand. basically it's an interactive map where I should be able to click a building and have information appear within a div tag to the right side.

I am trying to call a Javascript function in flash. I am able to call the function using the following code:
Code:
ExternalInterface.call("alert");
I have a flash movie and I want the javascript function to be called when the movie finishes but the code above calls the function at the beginning. Would anyone be able to tell me how I would get this to work the way I want it to?

I've got a flash file that reads some links from an xml config file. These links look like:
<url target="_blank" method="GET"><![CDATA[http://www.google.com]]></url>
Instead of a link, I'd like to call a javascript method that opens up a modal dialog with a list of items. I've tried the following based on some things I found, but I can't get it to work.
<url target="_self" method="GET"><![CDATA[javascript:loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></url>
and
<url target="_self" method="GET"><script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></script></url>
loadAsModal() takes in an empty div that i put on the page, and then the menu.jsp which builds the menu given the group id. I made sure to import all of my js libraries on the page.

I can't get this to work even after making sure to set "allowScriptAccess" to always. I successfully put the flash movie in the browser and call ReceiveDataFromFlashMovie() and print "Got here" but it seems like GetFlashMovieObject() only returns NULL according to an error message in Internet Explorer. Am I missing something? Head of the HTML file:

I have a simple flash socket that I use to connect to IRC servers. It has an open, close, and send method made available to JS through ExternalInterface, for opening connections, closing connections, and sending messages respectively. The socket calls IRC.io.receive in JS whenever it gets a message, which is parsed by JS into something useful.Unfortunately, whenever any of the flash methods are called from JS, they return a "__ is not a function" error.Here's the (watered down) AS, where IRC is the document class:
public class IRC extends MovieClip {
public static function open(url:String, port:int) {/* code */}
public static function close(port:int) {/* code */}
public static function send(port:int, message:String) {/* code */}
[code]....
Any call to any of the functions registered with ExternalInterface throws a "function does not exist" exception.

Basically I'm trying to call a javascript function which fades in the page content at the end of the flash movie. My javascript is all fine, I've even tested it by placing a button on the page from which it works flawlessly. So I know its definitely my Actionscript which is wrong.

So my team's project has an swf embedded in JavaScript, we're actually using java servlet's to create the html/JavaScript. I am attempting to use as3's ExternalInterface to add a callback which would get called in the javascript but everything I have tried will not work.[code]so if there is a missing tag or something that's probably not my problem. NOTE I embed this correctly and get into the swf allowing it to call javascript functions(as3 calls the getStuff fn), using the ExternalInterface, which works but JS->as3 does NOT work ='I cant use the movie object for anything (the return value of getFlashMovie), if I try to use no code after works.The action script code calls the external interface addCallback function correctly(called in a try catch that's how I know)[code]The only things I can think of;
1) The embed code isnt creating the object correctly, since I cant use the movie for anything
2) my swf is being created weird and doesnt allow script access.We are using FlashBuilder to build the swf.

I have a SWF that is used to load other swf to it.
each of the loaded swf files has its own button events that try to access javascript functions. The problem is that they can't access the javascript. It never gets to call the functions.
If i run those swf on their own then it works..
what should i do do have embedded swfs to call javascript methods ?

ARCITECHTURE:the way I've set up this Flash doesn't work properly.in my html I load a preloader.swf.this preloader.swf is build with ActionScript in the first frame.this preloader.swf loads a content.swf this content.swf is build with ActionScript in a Document Class...
everything works properly this far.MY PROBLEM:my problem comes when I - using JavaScript - try calling a function in my content.swf the function I try to call is this:
public function playThisMovie(theMovieToPlay:String):void {
var newM:String = theMovieToPlay;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", "the new movie is = "+newM);
}
when calling this function nothing happens, even though I know the function exists..can it be, that I cannot call my function because it is inside my content.swf..and if yes, is there a workaround I can use?

I have 4 instances of the same button on a single layer in a timeline of the mc 'coverflow_mc' named 'ThatsMe_btn_a' to 'ThatsMe_btn_d' ie same button, same position.. it just changes instance name on 4 keyframes. Why does it call the function fine for button a but not for b,c, or d? There is a stop on each of these frames and I can see from the swf that it is stopping at the correct frames.
function thatsMe() {
right = new Sound();
right.attachSound("right");

I have setup a video interface with a stock video player in the parent mc. In the same swf next to the player, I have a mc which is a video thumbnail chooser. The thumbnail buttons are located two levels down within this mc (nested within two mc) in order to facilitate the scrolling independent of the player. In the parent, where the video player lives, I placed a function:
function vid1(event:MouseEvent): void{
pubPlayer.source = 'Steve480.flv';
}
In the child mc where the thumbnail buttons are, I want to call the parent function like this:
vid1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);
None of my clips are externally loaded, just nested in the same swf. How can I talk up or down the movieclip ladder?
