Javascript :: Calling A Custom FLASH Method From IE7 & IE8
Oct 13, 2010
I am trying to call a custom method of an embedded flash like so:
var flash =
navigation_get_flash_movie_object('main');
if (flash) {
flash.continentOut(id); }
Which works great in Chrome ans Safari, but fails utterly in IE7 & IE8. The browsers throws an error that the object doesn't have such a method.
I am using the example from [URL], and now that I've tested it, it also fails at it's testing page as well [URL]
invoke custom functions in a Flash object from Javascript?

I have a simple flash socket that I use to connect to IRC servers. It has an open, close, and send method made available to JS through ExternalInterface, for opening connections, closing connections, and sending messages respectively. The socket calls IRC.io.receive in JS whenever it gets a message, which is parsed by JS into something useful.Unfortunately, whenever any of the flash methods are called from JS, they return a "__ is not a function" error.Here's the (watered down) AS, where IRC is the document class:
public class IRC extends MovieClip {
public static function open(url:String, port:int) {/* code */}
public static function close(port:int) {/* code */}
public static function send(port:int, message:String) {/* code */}
[code]....
Any call to any of the functions registered with ExternalInterface throws a "function does not exist" exception.

I am trying to call a method that has some xml functionality and It keeps coming up null.What I am trying to do is; I have a page that has four dynamic text fields that get their content from an xml file. I would like to create a method that will output the contents to display in the dynamic field. Maybe my approach is WAY off here, but my supervisor wants all xml related tasks contained in a xml.as fileMain.as

Making a flash video streaming web-app using Actionscript 3's external Api. I am at a very rudimentary phase of the project where we're just experimenting with external interface. Right now i just have a flash object and 3 buttons each to play pause and load a video. The only button that is currently set up to do anything is the load button. My swf and my html file sit on the same file system, and my video files sit on another server with traffic being redirected through a media server.When i press the load button, which should just give it the path of the video file on it's server. Instead it throws an error that reads "Error: Error Calling method on NPObject". [code]I've read in a lot of places that this is an issue with security, but both my swf and html are in the same folder on my local machine. Only the files come from outside, and in any case I think i've set the security settings correctly when i declare my flash player in the object tag, but maybe i'm missing something there.if you can't solve my question directly can someone please explain what "error calling method on NPObject" means? I'm sure its specific to flash-js communications because i've never seen it before and that's what i have gathered from my googling.

I've been playing with the visualization API aka dynamic charts and I've found that the example at [URL] does not really work on localhost. That is, Error calling method on NPObject is thrown when a event is clicked (points A and B in the example aforementioned). I suppose that is a security issue on the server end (Google's flash base).Since that jsFiddle code is hosted on a domain, the note at the very bottom of the documentation should not apply:Because of Flash security settings, this (and all Flash-based visualizations) might not work correctly when accessed from a file location in the browser [URL] rather than from a web server URL [URL] .

I am working on a quiz system. Normally it uses jpeg images with each question. But a few of the quizzes instead feature animated .SWF files. I want to use jquery swfobject to call the play() method, once the user has clicked on an answer.
My solution works fine locally, but when I try to run it online, it throws the "Error calling method on NPObject!" message.
The quiz HTML is located on www.somedomain.com and the SWFs are on images.somedomain.com. So, I'm guessing this is a cross-domain thing.
Trouble for me is, I don't know anything about Flash... how to edit SWF files, anything about Flash attributes, or the like.
Here's an example of my code:
<div class="photos">
<object data="http://images.somedomain.com/q1tattooquiz.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://images.somedomain.com/q1tattooquiz.swf">

let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something. So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item. So issue is? If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine. but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error. so i just wanna ask that "does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??

I have a flash file that contains a package "game" which has a class "Scores" and a method setValue(). I want to write some lines of Javascript that allow me to call that method. Someone directed me to this tutorial, but I am still a bit confused.
Javascript: alert("start"); var so; so = document.embeds[0];
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess","always"); import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("setValue[2600]");
displays an alert to tell me that it has indeed began to execute saves the embedded flash file into a variable and sets access imports that class calls the method.I am not sure about how this class thing works? This is just the bits and pieces I was able to come up with from that site, but I don't really understand how it all works (but certainly hope to eventually).This is the site: http:[url]...how-do-i-access-flash-function-using-javascript.When I execute the code with the importation nothing happens, but the alert does come up when I don't have that statement?

I'm trying to call a function declared with ExternalInterface in a Flash swf, using JavaScript.It worked once, but all of a sudden, it stopped working.I have a debug version of the Flash Player, but no errors occur in Flash.Not even a "Security Sandbox Error" or something. The only error I get is the following error in JavaScript Error: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.I'm using AS3, exporting for Flash Player 10 and testing on Firefox 3/Safari 4, on a Mac.

I got two AS3 functions. One that toggles fullscreen and one that is called with javascript with ExternalInterface that only logs "Hello World". Both works well in the browser, but if I try to call the fullscreen function with javascript the same way, i get an error like this: Error calling method on NPObject! I googled that problem but that only had something to do with same domain access, and sinced it worked with the other function, it has to be something else.

we are currently working with a tv site (flash) in which we have included 3 buttons , mini , standard and fullscreen.Mini will resize the browser window into a smaller size , while standard will resize it to the maximum available width and height.The fullscreen will play the video in fullscreen which is a new flash 9 feature.
The mini and standard buttons actually invokes a javascript function which resides in the flash container html page.The javascript code contains the satement window.Resizeto .The problem we are facing is that the functionality seems to behave inconsistently in IE.In IE 6 ,all the 3 buttons works perfectly.But once we touch the scrollbar , then the mini and standard wont work , it shows a javascript "access denied error".This error does not appear when the wmode in flash object tag is made transparent.But if wmode is made transparent , fullscreen wont work.This is given in adobes website.There is no problem in mozilla firefox .In IE7 we have the same problem as in IE6, apart from this mini and standard does not work at ALL when multiple tabs are open.I would like to know if thr is any way we could overide the javascript error and why does the error not appear when wmode is made is transparent ?

I'm trying to call a javascript function from within my swf and I'm having a couple of problems which are confussing me somewhat. I'm using this to call the function from flash:
ExternalInterface.call("pgcover"); I know that this is calling the function as I have set it trigger an alert action and this comes up properly. But I don't want the function to trigger an alert, this is just for testing purposes. I instead want it to change the styling on a div. I have set up a test page where I have asigned the function to a button and this works, the div display changes from block to none. When I get the swf to call the function setup to do the same thing, nothing happens.

I have what I think is an easy question but I am having problems with it... Using AS2 / CS3, I am calling a javascript function from Flash, but i would like the value to be a variable and I cant figure out how to do it. the started code is below and I need direction on how to make "myVar" actually a variable.
var myVar = newValue_txt.text;
btnOne.onRelease = function() { getURL("javascript:testFunction('myVar') ");
}
this is a stripped down version of what i am trying to do, but i think it gets the main point across.

I'm trying to make it so a button I use in a swf talks to the swf's container and says...
fscommand ("javascript:changeMap('hodson.htm');")
so that in turn
function changeMap(building) {
document.getElementById('buildingINFO').src=buildi ng;
}
But that doesn't work. I also tried getURL in front of the AS instead of fscommand. basically it's an interactive map where I should be able to click a building and have information appear within a div tag to the right side.

I've got a flash file that reads some links from an xml config file. These links look like:
<url target="_blank" method="GET"><![CDATA[http://www.google.com]]></url>
Instead of a link, I'd like to call a javascript method that opens up a modal dialog with a list of items. I've tried the following based on some things I found, but I can't get it to work.
<url target="_self" method="GET"><![CDATA[javascript:loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></url>
and
<url target="_self" method="GET"><script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></script></url>
loadAsModal() takes in an empty div that i put on the page, and then the menu.jsp which builds the menu given the group id. I made sure to import all of my js libraries on the page.

In our application we have an embedded Flash control (in a HTML file in our Browser control) that shows some games. I looking for some way to call / notify this Flash control from C++ or JavaScript when some events are happening outside of it in order to display something / set it's internal values.
how (if possible) this could be acheived? I think there is an option to call JavaScript from C++ and then JavaScript call Flash, but that's looks a bit tricky to me. is there is a way to "call" the Flash control "directly" or send a message to it.
