I have this code in my application...
Code:
var returned:Number = ExternalInterface.call("returnEntryCount");
nInterval = setInterval(upTo, 1000, returned);
"returned" is simply a number (integer to be precise)... but when I run my app I get this error:
Code:Type mismatch in assignment statement: found Object where Number is required.
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" ??

For instance, i could have multiple movieclips like so on stage.[code]...
Is there a way to return the number of 'myMovie' movieclips that are on stage (4 in this example)? I guess this will involve using a 'for' loop and returning the number?
Is there a function or method in ActionScript that can return the # of pixels used?

Whenever I use ExternalInterface to call a Javascript function in Firefox, the Javascript successfully returns a value to Flash. However, in IE, I always get 'null' for the return.
I know Flash is successfully calling the JS because i have an alert in the JS function that is firing. It's just the return that is null.
I'm using the following javascript code:
[Code]...
The call gets made and I get the alert of either "Returning TRUE" or "Returning FALSE" but the result in the boolean "visibleRet" is always "false" in my "throw" message. Is there something special I need to do in order to grab the return type correctly from the javascript call?

View 2 RepliesI'm completely useless at maths due to paying no attention whatsoever to it in school when I was a kid so forgive my lack of knowledge of basic terminology.I need a mathematical function that will return a number based on a graph that starts at 0, curves to (eg.) 100 and then curves back down to 0. I have a feeling it has something to do with Math.sin or somesuch wizardry but am not sure.Basically, I want to feed it a number between (eg.) 0 - 60 and for it to return a number on aforementioned curve. The purpose of this is to be applied as a lateral force on some basic ball physics. The idea of the 'curve' is that (depending on timing of the shot) there will be a 'sweetspot' in the timing.

I am writing a library in ActionScript 3 which needs to call functions in JavaScript. Since it's a library, there is no AIR, and thus HTMLLoader can't load an HTML containing the JavaScript.

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'm trying to call a function declared with ExternalInterface in a Flash swf, using JavaScript.It worked once, but all of a sudden, it stopped working.I have a debug version of the Flash Player, but no errors occur in Flash.Not even a "Security Sandbox Error" or something. The only error I get is the following error in JavaScript Error: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.I'm using AS3, exporting for Flash Player 10 and testing on Firefox 3/Safari 4, on a Mac.
View 4 RepliesI got two AS3 functions. One that toggles fullscreen and one that is called with javascript with ExternalInterface that only logs "Hello World". Both works well in the browser, but if I try to call the fullscreen function with javascript the same way, i get an error like this: Error calling method on NPObject! I googled that problem but that only had something to do with same domain access, and sinced it worked with the other function, it has to be something else.
