JavaScript :: IE Fail To See Flash ExternalInterface Method In ASPX?

Sep 19, 2011

I'm using Javascript to call a method on a Flash movie embedded in an ASPX page using SWFObject. It works fine in Firefox, but Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (so far) claim the object returned by swfobject.getObjectById() "doesn't support this property or method". I've found similar posts on this site and others, but nothing I've tried has fixed this in IE.

ActionScript 3.0 class:
public class Player extends MovieClip {
public function Player() {
Security.allowDomain("http://localhost");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("test", test);
[Code] .....

Internet Explorer complains about the last line in that function, "Object doesn't support this property or method".

Javascript :: How Could The FLEX ExternalInterface.available Check Fail But Still Be Unavailable

Mar 23, 2012

We have several flash objects written in FLEX and being rendered inside a single HTML page.We are using javascript to communicate between the objects and perform other page related operations.

Execution Flow:

In the creationComplete event of the FLEX code of our objects we execute the following (pseudo-ish) code:
if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.addCallBack("initialize");
ExternalInterface.callMethod("ready");

[code]....

Sometimes the last javascript function outlined is never called. When this happens none of the error alerts appear, the final code is just not executed but everything up to this point has executed successfully.

This happens about 1/100+ times in Chrome/Firefox

This happens about 1/10 times in IE8

This happens about 9/10 times in IE7 (full disclosure - the only machine we have to use for testing this is also much slower)

Since the problem is intermittent and becomes more apparent in slower browsers/machines my suspicion is that it is timing related. If I stop the first flex 'intiailize' call from happening until I click a button in the UI instead of automatically on what is essentially 'creationComplete' everything ALWAYS works.

Javascript :: Reference The Html Object That Made The Call To SomeFunction Directly Using The ExternalInterface.call Call?

Jun 28, 2011

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);

[code]....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use ExternalInterface.Call To Call A JavaScript Function To Launch A Lightbox Window?

Jun 22, 2009

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

AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);

[Code]....

I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.

Flash :: Call Anonymous Function From ExternalInterface.call() Method?

Nov 4, 2010

I 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, 2011

I 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?

Javascript :: Why Does Call From Flash Fail In IE9

Nov 18, 2011

I have a couple of buttons in my flash application that call two different javascript functions. They work in all browsers except IE9 (I haven't tried earlier IEs). My code to call the function is something like this:

ExternalInterface.call(
"myLovelyFunction",
string1, string2);

[Code]....

In IE9, the function does absolutely nothing, but the console complains with:

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'SetReturnValue'
index.php, line 1 character 1

line 1, character 1 is obviously pointing at nothing in particular.

I can make it work fine by switching on compatability view, although the console error doesn't go away.

Is there anything about IE9 that causes this, and more importantly, how do I fix this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: ExternalInterface.call Not Working?

Apr 22, 2010

I am having a problem using ExternalInterface.call to a javascript  function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ExternalInterface Call From Child Swf

Apr 8, 2011

I 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ExternalInterface.call Won't Work In Ie

Feb 11, 2008

I'm having some serious issues trying to get externalinterface to work in ie. I've looked around and seen that there are problems with ie when the swf is inside a form tag but my swf is not. Also I have set "allowscriptaccess" to "always" and still nothing. It works fine in FF and safari. In ie all i get is a little icon in the bottom corner that says "Error on page" and when I select that it just says something to the effect that there is a syntax error but doesn't give any helpful details at all.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Bug With Multiple Calls To ExternalInterface.call?

Oct 7, 2009

Are 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, 2011

In 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!
