Actionscript 3 :: Finding The Method Name From An ExternalInterface.addCallback

May 23, 2011

Let's say we have a number of ExternalInterface.addCallback functions, like so:

ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'foo', handler );
ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'bar', handler );
ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'foobar', handler );

In the function handler I'd like to find the method name called through the external interface, such as foo, bar or foobar; is there a way? Eg:

private function handler(...args):void
{
arguments.callee.arguments[ 0 ];
}

ActionScript 2.0 :: ExternalInterface.addCallback In IE?

Jan 30, 2009

This is so frustrating...I'm going to do my best to be concise here, so forgive me if I leave too much out.I'm also going to try to simplify so I don't get bogged in details. I have a set of html pages that guide you through a tutorial. The different pages are REALLY just one big page that has divs hide and unhide as you go through the flow via previous and next buttons.

There are 4 pages which play a video clip. Each video clip .swf contains an FLVPlayback component that plays an .flv, and uses an .swf skin file. All these things play fine. If you're watching a video and you click "NEXT" the sound is still playing because of course you're still on the same page. So we looked into it and found out about the whole ExternalInterface.addCallback thing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ExternalInterface.addCallback Won't Work On IE

This code works perfectly with Chrome, Firefox and Opera but won't do it in IE. And... I also would need to have it working on IE6 = PS: the alert works fine in all the browsers (except IE6,7,8 because of the .src attribute =_=)! So I think the problem isn't the object retriving.

ActionScript 2.0 :: F8 ExternalInterface AddCallback Not Working?

Mar 18, 2008

I have never posted to this forum before but I am about to pull my hair outI've created a page that used External Interface before with no problems and I can't figure out what makes this one different. It works fine on both Firefox and Safari on a Mac. On a pc, however, the Flash has no problem calling JavaScript functions but the JavaScript can't call the ActionScript function. It doesn't matter if I try Firefox, IE7 or IE6. The error IE gives is that the object doesn't support the property or method.ere is the AS:

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("samplework_mc", 999);
function loadWork(workname:String):Void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Cannot Load Swf Using ExternalInterface.addCallback

Jun 29, 2011

I try to create a switcher-swf. Its purpose is to detect parameters like screensize and then decide whether to load lowres.swf or highres.swf. Both lowres.swf and highres.swf work when tested independently.

The problem is the switching doesn't work. It's not the loading- or switching procedure itself. Rather I tracked the problem down to this single line which is present in the classcode of both lowres.swf and highres.swf:

PHP Code:

ExternalInterface.addCallback("update", update); 

All it does is make a function called "update" available for external javascript-calls. If this line is removed, everything else works (including "ExternalInterface.call()"-statements!). However, I absolutely need this update-function to be available.

It seems that loading fails when the swf to be loaded contains an ExternalInterface.addCallback-Statement.

JavaScript :: ExternalInterface.AddCallback Does Not Work On Firefox?

Apr 15, 2010

I'm trying to call a method inside a flash movie from js, every time the mouse leaves the "div". It works on Internet Explorer, but not in firefox. Here is the html script:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(e){
init();
}function init(){
document.getElementById('div').onmouseout = function(e) {
[Code] .....

Here is example of the problem, there is an alert for the js and the flash should be able to remove the swf (see a gray background? it works! see a image, flash didn't receive the call): [URL]. This should work with internet explorer / safari / chrome (pc/mac) only firefox seams to reject this.

Javascript :: Flash - Functions Registered With ExternalInterface.addCallback Not Available?

Apr 14, 2010

I'm working on a Flash game that needs to call some Javascript on the page and get data back from it. Calling Javascript from Flash works. Calling the Flash functions from Javascript (often) doesn't. I'm using the Gaia framework.The swf is loaded in with SWFObjectThere's a button in the Flash file. On click, it uses ExternalInterface.call() to call a Javascript function. This works.The Javascript function calls a Flash function that was exposed with ExternalInterface.addCallback().Sometimes, the Javascript produces the following error: TypeError: myFlash.testCallback is not a function.

When the error happens, it affects all functions registered with addCallback(). Gaia and some of its included libraries use addCallback(), and calling those functions from Javascript also produces the TypeError.Waiting a long time before pressing the button in Flash doesn't solve the error.Having Flash re-try addCallback() periodically doesn't solve the errorWhen the error occurs, ExternalInterface.available = true and ExternalInterface.objectID contains the correct name for the Flash embed object.When the error occurs, document.getElementById('myflashcontent') correctly returns the Flash embed object.Edited to add:This issue shows up in Firefox 3.6, but not Chrome or IE8. I haven't tried older browsers.

I'm running the Debug version of the Flash player.My calls toExternalInterface.addCallback() are wrapped in a try...catch block. When the JS error occurs, the catch block is not triggered. It's a silent failure.The error occurs when testing on a webhost, with the swf loaded from the same server as the page it's on.
I set allowScriptAccess = always.Setting flash.system.Security.allowDomain("mydomain") doesn't fix the error.From my Page class:

public class MyPage extends AbstractPage
{
// declarations of stage instances and class variables

Javascript :: ExternalInterface. Addcallback Works Locally, But Not On Server?

Nov 9, 2010

Mainly because I have it ALWAYS working locally, when I test in a browser, but the moment I deploy to a server it stops working.

I've added trace commands and confirmed that ExternalInterface is in fact available before adding the callback, and an alert command in the javascript method correctly identifies the flash object. I also checked and allowscriptaccess is set to 'always'.

Could it have something to do with the flash being served on a remote server?

Actionscript :: ExternalInterface.addCallback Only Working Locally, Not In Production

Jan 15, 2011

In my Flex app, I need a Javascript control to call one of my Actionscript methods. Simple enough, according to the Flex/Actionscript documentation, I wrote this in my Actionscript code:

if (ExternalInterface.available)
ExternalInterface.addCallback("setName", setNameInActiveWindow);
In the Javascript control I wrote:
document.getElementById('FlexAppId').setName(name);

Works great. Exactly as expected, so I went to production. But it doesn't work in production :(. Same exact code... I can't figure it out. The above Javascript code is run, but the callback is not executed in the Actionscript code.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Built-in Functions Not Exported With ExternalInterface.addCallback()?

Sep 23, 2010

I am trying to write C++ code to interface to arbitrary instances of flash player 10 contained in arbitrary web pages from IE. All I need to be able to do is:

1) determine if the player is playing,

2) start playback, and

3) stop playback.
 
I am searching for a way to so this programmatically, without resorting to simulating user input to the control.
 
I have played around with the IShockwaveFlash COM interface which works OK on some sites but not others (e.g. not on YouTube). I am wondering if it is possible to use IShockwaveFlash::CallFunction() with the appropriate XML string to invoke predefined functions in ActionScript that have not been explicitly exported using ExternalInterface.addCallback().
 
Or perhaps there is enough functionaly using accessibility and the IAccessible interface?

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".

Flash :: Unable To Invoke ExternalInterface Method Of Using (watir-)webdriver

Jun 11, 2011

I am trying to use automate a web + flash application. Our dev have provided me ExternInterface APIs, which we are able to invoke using Watire and IE. However same thing is now working on FF 3.6 and watir-webdriver/webdriver/firewatir. I am tending to assume that this is not a problem with either of the automation tool, but FF itself. However other part of our product uses js to invoke other APIs and they are working fine. So I am not able to zero in on browser or automation tool.

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.
