ActionScript 3.0 :: DOM Object ID Update Not Passed To ExternalInterface.objectID
Jan 13, 2010
regarding DOM object name/id updates by JavaScript, and accessing them from flash. Let me explain.
I have made an actionscript that tests if externalinterface.objectid is null. If it is, I call a JavaScript that gives names/id to all unnamed shockwawe-type <EMBED> and <OBJECT> tags.
My problem is that, although the Javascript does what it is supposed to, the SWF's ExternalInterface.objectID property remains null.
In other words, although the DOM is properly updated, that update is not propagated to the ExternalInterface object.
- Is this normal ?
- Can I "reconsctruct" the ExternalInterface object to have it updated too ?
- Could I have my SWF reload itself, and how?
- More generally, what should I be doing to be able to access the newly JS-modified id from my SWF movie ?

In my case I have 6 movieclips and 6 corresponding text fields (all 12 objects are on the main timeline) and the movieclips are named thumb1_mc, thumb2_mc, etcetc, and the text fields are named text1, text2, etcetc.I have a method:mcl_mcl.onLoadProgress = function (targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes)in which I need to change the appropriate text file's text depending on which movieclip is targetMC.The trouble is I can't find a way to distinguish which mc it is, so I can't pick which text file to change.I tried using properties but that doesnt work because everything about the movieclip gets obliterated the moment I load something into them.

I have a flash movie on my index page but as the user navigates through the site and then goes back to the home page, I don't want the intro to replay. I have fixed that using shared object so that if it has already played, it skips to the end of the animation...here is my code:
function VisitCheck() {
var myLocalSO = sharedobject.getLocal("visitRecord");
if (myLocalSO.data.visited == null) {
myLocalSO.data.visited = 1;
gotoAndPlay(3);
trace("visit 1");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("visit2");
}}
VisitCheck();
Works great, except now, the intro animation on the index page NEVER plays again; I would rather have the cookie expire after the user closes the window or a certain amount of time has passed (say 30 minutes).

I'm trying to understand how the Flex framework draws objects (Button, Label, Image, etc.). The Button class seems to draw itself by addChild()ing its ProgrammaticSkin. However, where in the framework is the Graphics object being passed around in the hierarchy to achieve the drawing. I want to get to the level of 2D API.

I'm trying to write a simple flash mp3 player while using JQuery and it's SWF Object plugin.I'm adding an swf to the page using this code:
$("body").append("<div id='player_external' style='position:absolute;top:0;left:0;height:1px;width:1px;>/div>");$('#player_external').flash({swf:"player_external.swf",wmode:"transparent",height:1,width:1,AllowScriptAccess:"always"});
The player should be invisible one-pixel object that interacts with javascript. When i'm calling javascript functions from within flash objects (using ExternalInterface.call()) it works fine.

The "modern" updated way to embed a flash object, according to Adobe:
[Code]...
Then it works on Firefox and Chrome (the AS function is called and works properly) - (it doesn't work in IE though). How come it doesn't work with an object tag? How "safe" it is to use the embed tag instead of the object tag? Is it not obsolete? Note, that it is definitely not a timing issue - If I call the AS function from JS from an onclick function - then the results are the same.

I have a background MovieClip in a custom button class, which moves the play head to a different frame (via gotoAndStop("framename")) depending on which mouse events it receives.
When the mouse up event is received, it sends the play head back to the "release" frame, where the background should shift back to its original location, but instead nothing happens and the background remains where it was.It's as though Flash is not honoring the background's position defined by the key frame it enters.
The only workaround is to add a frame script to each frame which manually sets the x and y position to what it should be, but this defeats the purpose of using keyframes for the position.

I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?

i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
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.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I am trying to use the tutorial on this site to create a simple form submission to my database via ASP. I couldn't open the sample - I am on MX. But I followed the steps on the webpage.My variables are not being passed. All of the Response.Write statements in my ASP page are coming up blank.So I have the 3 input text fields. I specified each with the same variable name as used in the tutorial (fname, lname, email, message). I also used those same names as the instance names but that didn't help so I've deleted it. So currently there are no instance names, just variable names.And then there is a submit button with the code from the tutorial:
on(press){
getURL("http://mysite.com/processForm.asp",0,"post");
}
Thats all that is in the movie.The ASP page comes up, and the database submission completes, but all the variables and database fields are blank.

I have a flash file that I am trying to debug. It loads a second flash file which it passes data to, and then that data is sent to a server. Unfortunately the data isnt coming out how it should.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to see what data is being passed to the embeded flash file from the original flash file. I need to make sure the data going to it is correct.
