ActionScript 2.0 :: ExternalInterface Scroll Events To/from Flash?
Jul 9, 2009
[URL] BUT it got moved to components (I do understand why) , however, someone in another forum said to look at ExternalInterface to fix the problem above which seems to now be more appropriate to this forum.
I just dont understand how this >>> ExternalInterface / getURL to send scroll events to/from flash, would fix this>>> [URL].

This one's been irking me for a while. When I'm using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down in a webpage, and a flash movie comes into the path of the cursor, the scroll wheel stops working. Also, when a flash movie has focus, you can't use browser shortcuts like Ctrl + L or Ctrl + R.
I'm writing a flex application now and I'd like to find a solution, so that at least my users aren't plagued by this inconsistency of the user interface behavior.
I should think there would be a way to tell flash to propagate such events as the mouse scroll wheel and keyboard input back up to the browser unless they occur in an element for which they are useful, like in a flex textarea. I can't find any solutions out there though, nor even anyone talking about it.
Specifically, how can I make it so that:
When the user is scrolling with the mouse, the browser scrolls unless the mouse is over a flex container with scrollbar, or another component that wants to scroll.When the user presses a button or combination of buttons on the keyboard, it will be propagated to the browser unless there is an active keyboard listener, or the cursor is in a text field, etc.

I have another problem with my scroll pane. I now have a bunch of Loader objects that are used to display thumbnail images in a scrollpane. I want to add a MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event so that when I a person rolls over an image there will be some buttons displayed, IE a remove button so the user can delete an image from the gallery. However my ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events are firing like CRAZY when I place my mouse over a picture. Right now I have the roll over and roll out events set to just hide the image (so I know that it's working). But all that happens is the image flashes....

I've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately).
how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).

I am having endless trouble trying to get flash to scroll with a mouse scroll wheel on both PC and Mac. Pixel Breakers code "swfmacmousewheel" seems to be the way to go but despite everyone raving about how amazing it is and showing many version of it working very nicely, I cant get it to work. I've followed all the instructions I can find as carefully as possible but I get nothing. I just want something similar to this > [URL]

I am having an issues with ExternalInterface.call to return a value in IE. It is working fine in Firefox. Eventhough I changed the "allowscript access" to "always", still it is not working. Is there any thing that I need to change in Flex or the HTML to make this work? or this is a security setting in IE?

I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call function in my ActionScript(2.0) to get a javascript var value set in the wrapping document. The following seems to work in FireFox and in Chrome but, naturally, it does not work in IE(8). getting the value stored at this variable?
var linkPath = ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.customLinkLocation;}", null);

The problem is this: I have an swf embedded in an html. I must call a js function in the page from the swf via ExternalInteface. Ok. But it must work locally, for any user, without doing nothing. That's because this thing must be distributed in cdroms.

Is there a way to get a list of the exposed functions from a Flash object? For example, you could get a list of all methods in an object by executing[code]...
The only issue is that this won't expose any methods registered through the ExternalInterfaces API. I can try and see if the function exists (object['method']) and it tells me it is a function, but I would have to guess every existing method in this manner..

I'm communicating from a flash application using a command like the following: ExternalInterface.call("hello", "world") This is handled on the C# end by something like:
[Code]...
The axFlash_FlashCal is called fine, as long as there is a textbox on screen that's set to use TLF text. (any textbox will do, no specific ID). Without the textbox the even will not fire. (Even though ExternalInterface.Avaliable is set to true) I've tried using CS4 and CS5 to publish, using both Flash 10 and 9 as output.

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.

I'm using the XSPF music player (the slim version found here [URL], written in AS2) to play through a list of mp3s on a website. I need to make a javascript call each time it loads a track. I'm attempting to do this through ExternalInterface, but so far with no luck. Here's my setup: I'm writing the site on a linux machine which also houses the testing server, but editing the flash in windows. I'm testing the site on the same linux box with firefox 3.0.10. The html and actionscript are posted here[URL]). Does anyone see anything wrong with my code? why it's not working? I feel like it's something in my basic setup...

i'm currently trying to call a javascript function and pass values to it. but i'm not really familiar in using the addcallback since i only tested on calling a function from flash without passing anything to the function.
Basically, i'm going to retrieve the values of a node from xml. and then i will assign those values to a variable in flash. now what i'm going to do next is pass this value to a javascript parameter..is it done using externalinterface?
I just need to throw the value to the javascript function parameter and no return values to the actionscript. The event is that whenever an image is click, the corresponding value for each image is passed to the javascript function.

Im trying to use JS to send data to my Flash AS2.0 music player with ExternalInterface, except there are no good tutorials or guides on ExternalInterface that I can find. I want to be able to change the current song in the player by clicking a JavaScript link, and on page / window load without clicking, play a default song.
I dont need a super complicated answer on loading sounds in flash, etc., I am just having a lot of difficulties getting JS to send anything to Flash, and when I get that to work - would I need to put some if / else into the flash to determine if the link has been clicked or not?

Flash has the ExternalInterface class which can communicate to JavaScript running in the browser Can you use the ExternalInterface.available property to check if JavaScript is enabled?

I can't call a javascript function from flash, when the flash object is added within an OOP structure in javascript. In short the code:
In flash:
if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call("flashMessages", "ready");
}
[Code]....
Flash gets loaded, but the call to the javascript function isn't received.

I have a custom container (C#) for the Flash ActiveX control and am passing data back and forth. Previously I would use ExternalInterface.call and pass an Array as a parameter. I would prefer to use the Vector class now that it is available, but it appears that when I do that the call is never made.
It is however made if it is embedded in IE. It appears that when in IE, Flash will send out JavaScript to execute rather than serializing to XML. My guess is that the Vector XML serialization isn't baked in, so Flash just ignores the call.
Other than just going back to using Array, I've already done that for now.
