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?

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.

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.addCallback to allow js to call an as3 method. My code is as follows:
AS:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionscript", callFromJavaScript);
function callFromJavaScript():void{
circle_mc.gotoAndStop("finish"); [code]....
It's not working. What am I doing wrong?

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.

I'm trying to call a function in an action script using the ExternalInterface.addCallback API, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here's what I have:
ActionScript:
//MyClass.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
The Error I'm getting is: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'getStringJS'
I also tried adding in a timeout in case the swf file wasn't loading, but I didn't have any success with that method either.

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

I am trying to use javascript to run AS3 functions. When I attempt to compile I'm getting an "Access of undefined property" error message. I've read a few things online about this but I'm still not understanding it. I want to have the flash file always listening for javascript.

The "modern" updated way to embed a flash object, according to Adobe:
[Code]...
Then it works on Firefox and Chrome (the AS function is called and works properly) - (it doesn't work in IE though). How come it doesn't work with an object tag? How "safe" it is to use the embed tag instead of the object tag? Is it not obsolete? Note, that it is definitely not a timing issue - If I call the AS function from JS from an onclick function - then the results are the same.

I know there have been other questions on getting JavaScript / Flex ExternalInterface to play nicely, but I've what I think is a weird one. It works perfectly in every browser except Safari (on a Mac). Chrome, IE, Firefox - all ok, but Safari, nope it just wont fire.I've copied my code below, can anyone see why it doesn't work in Safari pls ?(the 'are you sure' dialog window appears in Safari but the method in the Flex app just doesn't get called)
Flex code :
if(ExternalInterface.available){
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flexShutdownHandler",flexShutdownHandler);

I've got a project that loads a couple of external flv videos. It works great locally but when I upload it to a web server I just get a blank screen.
Googling reveals two possible issues... server mime types, and flv path issues.
Everything is in the same folder so I'm doubting it's a path issue.
If it's the mime type issue, how do I go about fixing it? My host is dreamhost.
*update, I tried adding the following two lines to my .htaccess file but it didn't change anything:
AddType application/andrew-inset ez
AddType video/x-flv flv
Here is the html: [URL]
And here is the whole project in a zip if anyone has time to take a look:

I'm working on a website ([URL] - don't think the flash file can be seen in FF yet) and I want to load an swf-file with some illustrations and such. As this could get a little big, I have made another swf-file which shows a preloader and loads the first swf-file. The preloader works perfectly when tested in Flash CS3, but when uploaded to and tried on my webhost's server, the preloader doesn't load anything. Instead it of the load-percentage it just writes "NaN". You can find the as3-code down below. The preloader-swf and the swf to be loaded are located in the same folder. Both are as3.
This is the code from my as-class file:
package classes{
// Imports necessary classes
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code] .....

There is a number of posts but no solution to this issue. I am using alducente web service class to make SOAP calls to a WS from flash and it works perfect in the Flash IDE. When I publish to my server it just hangs.
I have a crossdomain file allowing all headers and domains etc. no luck.

There was always a flash movie on the homepage and it worked fine. A couple days ago I replaced the movie with a new one and added a .swf to the portfolio page as well. On the portfolio page, the movie is layered behind a series of transparent .pngs that link to their corresponding lightbox designations. The movie just plays, there isn't any interaction this way, atleast not in flash.
The problem: Everything works perfectly fine locally on all browsers and not at all on the server across all browsers. I have seen this problem before and read alot of posts about it.I know I have the proper scripts files. I've re-saved flash movies, changed their location within the site, published them with the appropriate settings, nothing seems to do the trick. Whats worse is that the lightbox doesn't even work online and it runs fine locally. Infact you cant even click on the .pngs and they aren't positioned the same with the css as they are viewed locally. I've overwritten the css with the up-to-date stylesheet many times as well

I'm using BulkLoader to load a single XML, parsing this, extracting out a list of images on another server (amazon), adding them to BulkLoader and loading them in.
this all works great running in the Flash IDE but as soon as it's uploaded the xml loads, parses BulkLoaders starts but non of the images load.
I assume it's a security issue but linking to these images from the local or from a html page works fine just not from Flash from a server.

I have made a XMLloader with URLrequest, and it works locally by calling the file directly by its name ie. "myFile.swf". var presLoader:Loader = new Loader(); presLoader.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf")); addChild(presLoader);
But when I uploaded the loader to the server, I have no file, only "URL not found"-error. So I found out that I should change to URL to "/Files/Images/subloader/myFile.swf" then it will load. But thats a real problem, because I have several loaders.

I have tried numerous attempts at converting flash files to HTML5 with Swiffy -- and they all work great in a browser running locally, but when I put the HTML file that is exported on a server (I tried two separate ones, just in-case it was some server configuration) they do not run, it gives a blank white screen.
I tried saving the file down to Flash 5 export, and changed settings and they work locally but not when placed on a server. I tried converting several flash files all with different animations, and I get the same results -- it works locally but not on a server.

I have one .swf that loads a second one on level 2.level 2 then in turn loads variables from a text file .The problem is that it works locally, but refuses to work on the server. The urls are all local. This is such a simple procedure, I can't figure out what is wrong..... are there limitations doing this via server vs. locally? I never get any "file open" errors locally. I've spent 2 hours on this.... I'm just using a simple LoadVars similar to this example:
Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("text3.txt");
