I have a flash (flex actionscript project) that has to pass data to javascript in cyrrilic through externalinterface. However, data turns out at the javascript end in ????? instead of real cyrillic letters
how can this be fixed so it shows up as cyrillic?

I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.External Inferface looks like the way to goI've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.
View 4 RepliesI have to make menu that will be used by cms. The problem is that the dynamic created textfields does not dosplay the cyrillic font. Now the menu is something like this: [URL] This is the menu with all the classes and some comments. If you don't want to download it... [URL] this is the class for creating textfield. In the library I got font named bab_font . The font has cyrillic gyphs in it (use Tahoma for example)
[URL] this is the class for the buttons , it is commented (it was in late night, sorry for the bad english) Everything works in english, just doesn't display letters in cyrllic (example) First friend of my suggested to make text on the stage, containg cyrillic letters, but this doesn't work.

I am using CS4 and been learning to code in AS3.0 instead of 2.0. I ran into problem with pass variables from php to flash when I was coding a photo gallery that checks for existing directories. After LOTS of testing, it turns out I simply can't get URLLoader to work correctly. Here is what I have for testing purpose:

I have been looking all over online for working example of pass variable from php to flash in as3.0, but none of them seem to work in my situation.I have tried to remove the '&' in front of name1 as some post has suggested, and flash isn't able to detect the variable anymore. I have no idea why the variable name1 contains more than just the value in $value (e.g. '$value");' ), flash seems to correct everything right after '&'. I used to code with AS2.0 with loadVar and that was totally fine, I just can't get the code working in 3.0.
There are many tutes on the web on how to make interface elements, such as drop down menus, or accordion menus. The example Menu Class includes all the event listeners and functions. It invariably ends with the CLICK event function tracing some comment so you know it works. But no information on how to implement the Menu Class. So say you have a Main Document Class that instantiates a Menu Class. How can you pass the CLICK event back to the Main Document Class to do something with it? As far as I can see, the Menu Class can build the menu but all the listeners and functions for it have to reside in the Main Document Class. Or do you have to build a custom Class that extends the Event Class?
View 3 RepliesAll I want to do is send the FlashVars to the Flash movie where it picks it up and goes to play the frame specified in AdFrame.
This is an odd one because it works perfectly when I preview it locally in IE. However, it does not work in IE when I move it out and tested remotely (tried it on two servers). It does not work in Firefox remotely or locally. I have the lates version of the js and I authored in Flash 9.[code]...
I found at this Adobe tutorial a nice "RemoteService" class that creates a RemoteObject and contains the functions for handling the result and fault events. If I wanted to use this approach, how could I pass the data from the result handler to interfaces that modules from the main application could use?
I could put the RemoteService/RemoteObject in the modules, but (in my opinion- and I could be wrong) the best design seems to be using the remote calls in the main app and passing the data along to the modules.
I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?
Im testing a program in FlashDevelop, which uses Flash player 10. Need externalInterface to work, but on running this simple test program, it displays "ExternalInterface is not available". How do I get ExternalInterface working? [URL]

import mx.controls.Alert;
private function init():void {

By the way, this script shows "External Interface is available" when I run it in my browser. Its only when I run it in Flash Player 10, that it is not available.
I've got a SWF with buttons that are calling a javascript function using External Interface - specifically the Milkbox photo gallery. For various reasons, the page with the embedded SWF has to work online as well as being run from someones local machine. The online version runs fine on every OS/browser. However, I've run into a snag where, for some reason, the local version isn't firing the javascript on Win XP in any browser.Is there perhaps some snag with using External Interface locally on an XP machine, or is there something else at play here? FYI, no problems at all on Vista/any browser.

I have created a peelback advert that peels down from the top right. All is well apart from it it obstructs the user ability of the site underneath as the peelback advert is effectively over the top. I have been giving some guidlines to stop this but i am struggling to understand them. The instructions specificall say that the file must be set with the transparent parameter.
Here are the options that i have:
OPTION 1:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
// Function executed in answer to the event
function onClic(pEvt:Event):void {

I think it could be the latter two that i need but am not entirely sure, i have tried them but have failed in my attempts?!If this is definetly the way to do it i will persevere! If these are not the way, what does the corner_show/hide method method do?
I have a navigation menu set up using standard jquery to load new body text and play a swf. There are about 10 links, each having there own body text and swf file. The swf's simply play, then stop after about 30 frames. When clicking through each menu item, a new swf plays and body text appears. I've been running into a problem lately with IE not reloading a swf. Instead it stops on the last frame of the swf and appears as an image. I was told to try using the external interface so jquery can force it to reload. I've never used the external interface before though, how to do this?
View 2 RepliesSeveral months ago for a project at work i developed a video player using flash, external interface and swfobject.js. I used external interface to facilitate communication between javascript and actionscript. This works great. Currently I am working on an extension to this that requires me to extrapolate logic from what i already written. I am using the same swf file in both applications, but in the extension i can't get the flash object to recognize my calls. Since i am using the same swf object i know that my problem is in the javascript, i just don't know where. I am using the JQuery Library. Without further adieu here's my code.

I'm using a Loader component to load and external swf which dynamically loads external jpegs (it's a photo gallery). When I test the movie locally all looks well with the external swf positioned exactly where I put it on the main stage. However, once loaded to my web host the external swf is bumped downward about 150 px.
View 1 RepliesHaving a problem trying to get the external interface working with as3. My flash file has 2 input text boxes with instances of 'received_ti' and 'sending_ti' and a button with instance of 'send_button'.

i am able to communicate with the flash via JS but there it doesn't go full screen.
Is there any security issue concerning this?
Using Flash - AS 3.0: I am trying to use ExternalInterface.call to open a .pdf file - but it is not working - nothing is happening...
ExternalInterface.call ("window.open","diagrams/v1/crh.pdf", "WindowName", params);
But this line DOES work - call an .html file to open.
ExternalInterface.call ("window.open","m5_quiz/v1/quiz.html", "WindowName", params);
I can't find any information that says this should or shouldn't work - it seems to me it should open it. To get around this - I have been using 'navigateToURL' to open the pdf file - but that triggers the pop-up blocker - using the External Interface call does not.
We're using External Interface for interfacing between Flash and JavaScript on the HTML page. All works fine online. When we
try to localize the pages though (so that a Salesperson can have a CD full of demos), none of them seem to work.Is this an over-sensitive Flash security issue? We already have allowscriptaccess='always' and swliveconnect=true in the object/embed tags.
What can we do that doesn't require changes on each individual machine to set trust paths or any other kind of browser configuration? Not only do we want to have this content working on the machine of a salesperson, we may get clients that want to deploy content offline (kiosks, machines without any network access).
I have been at it for two days now and have not been able to resolve this issue. I am trying to call an AS3 function from JavaScript via ExternalInterface API which is simply not working at all. If I to call a JavaScript function form html loaded swf, it works beautifully.[code]

is there anyway to get the External.Interface.call functionality to work in Internet Explorer 7 when you have wmode set to transparent on the flash object in question?I've tried pretty much everything under the sun I can think of without any success after a long time browsing the net for fixes. I should point out that I get the calls to work in chrome and firefox with identical code and that it also seems to work in ie if I dont have wmode set to transparent.Essentially what I want to accomplish is to have a flash dropdown menu set to transparent so it can go down over html content without covering it and then using external.interface to resize the div the flash object is contained in when the mouse goes off or on the menu. In doing so making the html content accessable again when the mouse goes off the menu.

View 0 RepliesI am currently just finishing a project and I am having a big time problem with an ExternalInterface call. My application runs fine but when the javascript call is being made from flash using external interface, IE is going from the "Done" message, to showing the "!" icon, with "error on page" as the message. There is no error that is showing up in Firefox.
The current error I am seeing is an 'Unterminated String Constant', which wouldn't be a problem except for that it appears on line 1... which is [URL]
I am trying to access JS functions of the container HTML code from the swf(using External Interface). But until I add the swf in Global Security Settings it doesn't work, even from localhost.
