ActionScript 2.0 :: Calling Javascript From Flash?
May 22, 2007
we are currently working with a tv site (flash) in which we have included 3 buttons , mini , standard and fullscreen.Mini will resize the browser window into a smaller size , while standard will resize it to the maximum available width and height.The fullscreen will play the video in fullscreen which is a new flash 9 feature.
The mini and standard buttons actually invokes a javascript function which resides in the flash container html page.The javascript code contains the satement window.Resizeto .The problem we are facing is that the functionality seems to behave inconsistently in IE.In IE 6 ,all the 3 buttons works perfectly.But once we touch the scrollbar , then the mini and standard wont work , it shows a javascript "access denied error".This error does not appear when the wmode in flash object tag is made transparent.But if wmode is made transparent , fullscreen wont work.This is given in adobes website.There is no problem in mozilla firefox .In IE7 we have the same problem as in IE6, apart from this mini and standard does not work at ALL when multiple tabs are open.I would like to know if thr is any way we could overide the javascript error and why does the error not appear when wmode is made is transparent ?
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 need to create a really basic flash video (actionscript 2) where I click on a bit of text which will call a javascript function. I have created a flash video which has a bit of text I converted to a button symbol. I then opened the "Actions" tab and added:
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 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.
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.
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'm not that good with flash and even worst with javascript.I'm trying to create a flash site for a radio station that will show information from the facebook fan page.I search over the whole Internet and found little or no info on how to do this. This is the code that I want to add to my flash site.[code]
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.
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 swf streaming an flv with the default controls from Flash. Is there a way to call a javascript function when the pause button is clicked? And then another when the play button is clicked?
I am developing a flash application for a website I have no direct access to. The flash application is supposed to call a javascript function on the website, defined by the website publisher. I got advised to check for the existance of the javascript object before calling its' function from actionscript:
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 I'm trying to call a javascript function from the actionscript when the swf movie enters a certain frame. I've placed the following code on a frame in my movie, but nothing, nada, niet.
I've searched all over the net and have come across a few examples but being new to Actionscript, I'm finding it quite hard to get my head around this (albeit simple) problem.

In our application we have an embedded Flash control (in a HTML file in our Browser control) that shows some games. I looking for some way to call / notify this Flash control from C++ or JavaScript when some events are happening outside of it in order to display something / set it's internal values.
how (if possible) this could be acheived? I think there is an option to call JavaScript from C++ and then JavaScript call Flash, but that's looks a bit tricky to me. is there is a way to "call" the Flash control "directly" or send a message to it.
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?
I'm working on a cartoon series in the uk and we use flash, 3d and after effects. I'm building a little pipeline tool to help us compositors do your job (there's hundreds if not thousands of files to be comped for a great number of shows)anyhow, we use flash for the 2d animation and we need to extract pngs. Right now it's a process I can't streamline (ie compers still have to have flash opened to choose which layers to export manually) but I'd like to be able to open flash and launch a specific javascript file ('command')
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 insert my swf using a relative url to the file, and I want the swf to call a javafunction but i get no response. why the swf is not in the same directory as the html file.
my as:
function checkInput() { var result:Object = ExternalInterface.call("checkTheInput"); myTxt.text = String(result); }
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.
how to call JavaScript which is not in an HTML window?
Just started using wordpress for my site after years of standard HTML and hit a problemwith an old Flash file I've usedfor 10 years.So I have a flash 6 swf file living in my media directory at URL...and the swf file wants to call a JavaScript function on my HTML page living at URL...Now on my old non-wordpress web site I just put the html and swf file in the same directory and this call always worked javascript:top.fSendForm()But now the swf file is in another location I don't know how to reference my JavaScript function.
I have a Javascript API, which should be usable with GWT and Flex. Using the FABridge it is really easy to call Javascript methods from AS3 and vice versa. But when I try to register a callback to an AS3 method in my Javascript API I get stuck. Here is a short code sample:
I have a swf hosted at domain A, and I have a html at domain B My swf is able to be loaded from accessing the html at domain B. However, the swf gets a SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation:
