Javascript :: Reference The Html Object That Made The Call To SomeFunction Directly Using The ExternalInterface.call Call?
Jun 28, 2011i have some actionscript that makes a

call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.

Jun 22, 2009I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:

Flash :: Call Anonymous Function From ExternalInterface.call() Method?
Nov 4, 2010I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
Flash - Externalinterface.call Won't Call The JavaScript Function - Firefox 3.6
Feb 10, 2011I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?

Apr 8, 2011I am trying to make a JS function call from a child swf, but I am running into issues when the child swf is loaded on a different domain than the parent.
Here's what my scenario looks like:
my HTML test page is on domainA.com and loads the parent swf, which is located in [URL].
The parent swf loads a child swd located in domainC.com.
After the child swf is loaded I want to make a JS function call, but when I call ExternalInterface.call("myJSFunction", "params"), the JS code never gets executed.
When I placed all of the files under the same domain, everything works fine.

View 4 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Bug With Multiple Calls To ExternalInterface.call?
Oct 7, 2009Are there any known issues (and workarounds) involving multiple calls toExternalInterface.call in ActionScript 2.0?I have 3 functions, each of which calls an external JavaScript function. These 3 functions run nearly back-to-back-to-back. The first time I load the page containing my Flash movie in a browser, I see the effects of all 3 JavaScript functions, as expected. However, once I begin reloading the page a few times, I begin to randomly see the effects of only 1, 2, or 3 of the JavaScript functions. Clearing the browser cache seems to "reset" this cycle, guaranteeing all 3 calls to work again successfully.

Javascript :: ExternalInterface Call Crashes The Browser?
Jan 20, 2011In Actionscript 3, I make a call to Javascript using:
ExternalInterface.call('javascriptFunction');
If in Javascript, there's an error or a blocking call, the entire browser will freeze. I can't use Firebug in Firefox to debug it because the act of stepping through the callback also crashes the browser. How do I go about debugging this?
[Code]...
I'm on an HP desktop with Windows 7, Firefox 5.0, IE9, and Chrome 12.0.742.122. Either alert call will randomly cause Firefox to freeze...it actually usually happens in bunches, where it'll freeze for a few times continuously (obviously restarting Firefox each time)..and then stop for a few hours and be alright.It has yet to crash IE9 or Chrome, though I haven't tested it as extensively with Chrome. Using the Firefox console doesn't help since Firefox just crashes all together. If anyone could shed some light on that, that'd be great!
