Javascript :: Why Does Call From Flash Fail In IE9
Nov 18, 2011
I have a couple of buttons in my flash application that call two different javascript functions. They work in all browsers except IE9 (I haven't tried earlier IEs). My code to call the function is something like this:
ExternalInterface.call(
"myLovelyFunction",
string1, string2);
[Code]....
In IE9, the function does absolutely nothing, but the console complains with:
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'SetReturnValue'
index.php, line 1 character 1
line 1, character 1 is obviously pointing at nothing in particular.
I can make it work fine by switching on compatability view, although the console error doesn't go away.
Is there anything about IE9 that causes this, and more importantly, how do I fix this?

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".

I 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?

I'd like to call a javascript function from an embedded .swf file. Specifically, I'd like to call a function in one of my externally linked javascript files from within: function loadTrack(){
[Code]...
which is in an .as file which I assume somehow becomes the swf file. How would I go about this and 're-compile' the .as file?

We have several flash objects written in FLEX and being rendered inside a single HTML page.We are using javascript to communicate between the objects and perform other page related operations.
Execution Flow:
In the creationComplete event of the FLEX code of our objects we execute the following (pseudo-ish) code:
if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.addCallBack("initialize");
ExternalInterface.callMethod("ready");
[code]....
Sometimes the last javascript function outlined is never called. When this happens none of the error alerts appear, the final code is just not executed but everything up to this point has executed successfully.
This happens about 1/100+ times in Chrome/Firefox
This happens about 1/10 times in IE8
This happens about 9/10 times in IE7 (full disclosure - the only machine we have to use for testing this is also much slower)
Since the problem is intermittent and becomes more apparent in slower browsers/machines my suspicion is that it is timing related. If I stop the first flex 'intiailize' call from happening until I click a button in the UI instead of automatically on what is essentially 'creationComplete' everything ALWAYS works.

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 have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I"m a bit confused because FlexUnith 4's behavior. When I use fail() in try-catch body fail method is just ignored.
[Code]....
I suppose this one should fail as there is no way around it, but it succeeds and turns green. Whatam I doing wrong? When i put fail() before try-catch block it fails as it is suposed to. BTW using Flash builder 4.

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.

Included is an example to look at for those willing to help. I have just extracted the relevant sections from the original source files. The html files are commented as well for ease of reference.I have a flash/AS3 slideshow that serves as an abstract for a html based site. There is a catch however... I use a custom content scroller and dynamic content loader (javascript & jQuery) for the body of the site.An example of the custom scroller and dynamic conten loader can be seen on the Malihu wbsite with a demo.The Javascript code that loads the new content looks like this:[code]The button (its a list item) in the html fie that would trigger the custom content loading looks like this:[code]"The ".content" class div is the section im swopping around depending on which link the user clicks. In the case above i dynamically load the contents of the ".content" div from the about.html file into the ".content" div in the index.html file (which is my main file).Is there a way to do the same from Flash?

I'm doing a Security Project now. And this project needs to intercept javascript call from Flash and do analysis. I've searched the web for a couple of days but still can't find any solution. Flash can use getURL, externalInterface.call to execute javascript code, and I want to stop the malicious calls from Flash. Thus, I need to intercept these javascript calls.

I want to use fancybox from inside flash. I call a javascript function with
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:callPopup()");
navigateToURL(url, "_self");
and
function callPopup(){ alert("works");}
which works fine. now I want to use this function to open my fancybox content.
the flash content is placed with swfobject. under the flashcontent-div I have my link to the fancybox-content:
<div id="micrositepopup">
<a id="popup" href="images/microsite/microsite.jpg">test</a>
</div>
and I call on pageload
$(document).ready(function() {$("a#popup").fancybox();});
when I click on the test-link all works fine. but how could I call the function
function callPopup(){ $("a#popup").fancybox(); } // not working
to open the fabcybox with the linked content?

I found out about this amazing site: [URL] it/ and,how this website was done. I really don't like flash websites and the main reason is when you want to send a friend a specific page you can't as it's all the one URL. but I like the style of flash.

I can't call a javascript function from flash, when the flash object is added within an OOP structure in javascript. In short the code:
In flash:
if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call("flashMessages", "ready");
}
[Code]....
Flash gets loaded, but the call to the javascript function isn't received.

JS-to-AS3 callbacks work in kinda asynchronous way right? So for example if I ask SWF to download some file, which may take some time (depending on the size of that file), and while it downloads it, ask it to do some other operation (suppose SWF has several callbacks for various purposes), what happens in this case? Does SWF continue to download file and handle my second request in a different thread maybe, or it crashes, or throws some error? I know this is a good case for some testing, but I wonder if anyone has already done that, or maybe there is public info on the case that I cannot find?

I have an AJAX web service call that returns a chunk of HTML that I then apply to a DIV element on my page.This works fine for any html element except a flash video which comes up with 'Movie not loaded'.I've double-checked the html that is being returned and it's all fine, and it works if I don't use AJAX, but when I use AJAX and then add it using JS it doesn't seem to attempt to load the playlist.

I mixed a.com and b.com in my original post, I'll try to rephrase stuff correctly:
A HTML page is loaded from a.com
The HTML embeds a Flash client from b.com
HTML contains a Javascript function that makes a connection to a.com, ie the origin of the HTML, not the origin of Flash
The Flash calls that Javascript function
Question: Do I need to have a crossdomain.xml in a.com?

I am trying to call a Jscript function from a flash object. I want the function to be called when the animation ends.
Here is the embed code
<h1 align="center">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="360" HEIGHT="250" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="center">
[code].....
here is the action code I add to the last frame of the flash object
URLLoader("javascript:mainFunction();");
The object loads but the function is not called. I can call the function other ways such as using an "onclick = mainFunction()" event on a button for example.

I have some actionscript that plays a movie clip. When the movie clip is over I want Javascript to remove the Flash object from the page. I can't seem to get it working. When I test the actionscript in Flash I don't get any compilation errors, and my Traces all execute when I expect. I also don't get any javascript errors thought the RemoveFlash() function never gets called.
