Flash :: Call Anonymous Function From ExternalInterface.call() Method?
Nov 4, 2010I 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, 2011I 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?
Flash :: AS3 Performance Difference Between Function And Events
Jun 2, 2011I working on a game project in Flash AS3. I need to pass data from one class (Game) to other class objects (Ships) on EnterFrame and performance is starting to be a issue. I was wondering is there a difference in performance between calling to the Ship a direct function or dispatching an event which the Ship can listen.
another question is where should I put the enterframe function. Is it better to use only one enterframe function and call the methods dispatch events from there, or it will be wiser to put the enterframe in the different objects (Ships)? note: some Ships are inactive most of the time.

Flash :: What Is The Difference Between Calling ExampleFunction() And ExampleFunction.call()
Jan 27, 2012What is the difference between calling exampleFunction() and exampleFunction.call() ?
There is a feature on Actionscript that allows you to use functions through the 'call' method. For example, to use the 'test' function below, I could write test() and test.call()
function test():void {
trace('function was called')
}
What is the difference?
