ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting The Result Of A Javascript Function Into Flash?

Feb 9, 2007

I have a site that has a button on it and someone did a little javascript so that each time you click the button you go to a randomly selected URL from an array of links. Now, I was told to give my flash button the same functionality. I'm not really a coder, so instead of re-inventing the wheel, I'm trying to get the result of the javascript into my action script. So far, I'm completely unlucky.

Javascript 3 :: Can A JavaScript Function Detect Which Flash DOM Object Called It

May 20, 2011

Here's the challenge: I have a Flash movie which will be embedded in a page using an unknown DOM ID that I want to be able to identify/store for callback in a JS function. My ideal user flow would be: User clicks button in Flash. Flash pauses any animations / video / sounds / etc. Flash calls an injected JS function to display a page-covering overlay experience. When user closes overlay experience, a callback method on the Flash object is called. Flash resumes playback.

The problem is, when AS3 uses the ExternalInterface.call("functionName", args...) method, there doesn't seem to be a DOM event triggered, and thus it is impossible to tell which object called a JS function, so having a "registerMe()" function doesn't seem to work. Basically, the injected JS function has no way to determine which DOM object to call, because the ID of the Flash object is unknown.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Store The Result Of Calculation Of Function, In Variable Outside It?

Nov 11, 2005

I ve a bit of missunderstood about functions: as i read the functions works:

basically 2 types:
named (can be lonely)
unamed (need and object)

- can i define a function wherever i want? ( _root, MC...) and call it from everywhere?, before or after i created it?

- if the variables of a function are local variables of that function. How can i store the result of a calculation of the function, in a variable outside it?

Test Length Of String And Call Function Depending On Result

Sep 29, 2009

I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:

Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};

Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Run A Javascript Function From Flash

Dec 5, 2005

I have a search form in my swf that consists of an input box and btn.

I have a javascript search function that works with a html form button, but I would like to run that function with my flash btn and use the text input box that searches for that string (don't want to use the Atomz search cause the free one comes with ads, I think).

To run a simple javascript (say, myFunction()) from a flash btn, you just do:

getURL("javascript:myFunction()"); and that works just fine for those types, but if they have vars in them, such as myFunction(myVars), then

getURL("javascript:myFunction(myVars)") won't work.

So, what is the correct way to run that function from flash, or am I just totally off?

Or, where can I get a tutorial to run a site search from a flash btn and input box?

Flash :: Professional - Calling A Javascript Function

Jan 20, 2010

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.

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MX Retrieve Javascript Function Returned Value Into Flash?

Apr 6, 2010

I am posting a thread regarding passing a javascript returned value into Flash. It is slightly complex due to the solution I am looking for must target Flash Player 6.

I have looked at various solutions including the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit wrote by the guys at the former Macromedia. Unfortunately the solution involved includes various classes and then import them in Flash which produces the following error:

The class or interface 'com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy' could not be loaded.

The Javascript I want to retrieve the value from looks like:

<script language="JavaScript">

Get Information From A Flash Input Textfield To A Javascript Function

Aug 25, 2009

I have a web page with a couple of Flash Input TextFields. When I press a button on my web page, I am using javascript (jQuery) to get all the values from the text fields and checkboxes etc on the page.
 
In order to get a value out of my Flash TextField, I understand that I have to use the ExternalInterface API. I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
 
In the flash IDE, I have a layer with just the textbox instance and another layer 'actions', which has all the actionscript.
 
As soon as I put: import flash.external.ExternalInterface
 
in my code, then the textfields full functionality does not seem to work on the webpage.
 
I assumed what I had to do was something like:
 
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getFlashFieldText", getText);
function getText():String  {
return myTextField.text;
}
 
then I thought that perhaps I had to call a javascript function to return the textfields value like so:
 
function getText():void  {
var word:String = myTextField.text;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", word);
}
 
but nothing is working, and I think it is strange that the textfields functionality (some letters being styled) does not work as soon as I import the ExternalInterface class. I have tried putting the ActionScript 'actions' layer in a package, but it didn't help. As you can probably tell I am new to Flash and Actionscript, and I would be very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Pass Parameters Into Flash Using A Javascript Function?

Jan 29, 2010

I am attempting to get Flash - Javascript communication working using ExternalInterface.addCallback, using code found at http:[url].... I am trying to pass parameters into Flash using a javascript function, but it only works if I insert a 'window.alert' line into the code. Once I click OK, the parameter str is passed into Flash ok. The function is:
 
function sendToFlash(str) {                if (str=="tools"){            window.alert(str);            getFlashMovie("richFunctionality_corp").sendTextToFlash(str);[code]....
 
If I remove the window.alert, str isn't passed into Flash. Is this a browser speed thing? A value menu is passed out of Flash using getURL("index.php?pageID=239&menu=tools"), i.e. the page reloads and a php script  sends the appropriate str value to the sendToFlash javascript function based upon the value of menu.

Javascript :: Calling A Function From A Flash From Xml Config File

Mar 31, 2011

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.

Javascript :: Function Does Not Exist When Calling Flash Method From JS

Feb 10, 2012

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.
