I have an air application, in which the user types javascript in a textarea, and it is eval'd in an mx:HTML component, but even with try/catch around the eval, and around the code in the eval, and an HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent handler, it still throws an error. htmlWindow is html.htmlLoader.window.

I am using the ExternalInterface to communicate between Flash and JavaScript using callbacks and the call method. I would like to throw an exception in ActionScript 3.0 and catch it in JavaScript and I was wondering if there was anyway to do that?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build an API in JS that will perform some operations and then execute the callback that's registered in AS when it's done. Because it's an API, I am just providing a JS method signature for another developer to call in Flash. Thus, the callback name that's registered in the AS part of the code should be a parameter that's passed in to the JS API in order for JS to communicate back to Flash.
For example:
[AS3 code]
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashCallbackName", processRequest);
ExternalInterface.call("namespace.jsFnToCall", flashCallbackName);
function processRequest(data:String):void {
//do stuff
[Code] .....
Because the definition of the function is in AS, I can't use the window [function name] approach. The only way I can think of is to build the callback in a string and then use the eval() to execute it.
Is there any way to execute arbitrary code in Flash, like javascript's eval()? I'd like to take some code as a string and execute it, if possible
View 2 RepliesI'm having a little difficulty when it comes to getting objects ready for garbage collection.
I have some dynamically created movieclips.
Within each clip, I have a combo box and a close button. When the user clicks the clsoe button, it runs a function that removes all the event listeners for the close button and combo box, and removes the parent clip from stage. I also want to make the parent clip null, and this is where I get an error. I'm not sure how to tell Flash "make the parent of the close button clip = null.[code]...

View 8 RepliesI'm calling a function in my actionscript called GrabWidget() from the javascript. When I do this from a plain page with just the flash and the javascript link, everything works flawlessly. However, when I add this to a page, I get the error: uncaught exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.I've even gone so far as to empty out the contents of GrabWidget() in my actionscript and I still get the error.

In Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.
Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:
Uploading chunk of size: 1000000
HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200
HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200
Completed chunk 1 of 108

To be exact this is the error.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Now I've tried several of Adobe's own examples from this page, http:/[url]....., and they all throw this error as well.The error is triggered by the TileList instance being the argument of the addChild function.Here's my package, which works fine when I change the displayComponent is be a List.

I'm having problems getting a hitTestPoint to run properly. It keeps throwing the same error no matter what I try. 1120: Access of undefined property mouseX.
I need the mc (thumbs) to fade in and once it has faded check to see if the mouse is over it in order to trigger other code. I need to run the test as soon as the tween is over regardless if there is/isn't a mouse event, which is why you'll see my attempts at using the ENTER_FRAME event.Here is the offending code:

The only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;
function clean_up()
{
var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};

I would want to catch click with javascript on a embed flash object on my page. I used wmode="opaque" (tried transparent too) and put a low z-index.

View 2 RepliesI'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?
When loading certain .swf files into a WebView, a split second after the flash file begins to be displayed, my app closes with a Signal 11 fault. No exception is thrown that I can see. Example LogCat dump here.When loading the same .swf files into the stock Android browser, instead of closing, an error icon is displayed. Touching it opens a pop-up stating: "Adobe Flash; Insufficient Memory". Is there any way to catch the Insufficient Memory error before the SIGSEGV occurs -- preventing the task from being terminated -- as is done by the stock browser?
Note: I'm testing under Android 2.2 with the HTC version of the Flash plugin, but it appears that the same sort of issues occur on other, non-HTC devices. I'm loading the swf file into the WebView directly, using:
webView.loadUrl("http://whatever.com/bla.swf");
(with plugins and JavaScript enabled). It works perfectly in most cases -- only a few files cause problems. I've tried various suggestions for reducing memory (such as clearing the WebView caches) without success.

I'm loading info from a mySQL database through Flash/AS3 --> PHP then back to Flash. I'm not really certain if we're going to know how many times to try and load from the database. I'm getting an error from URLVariables right now from the constructor (Decode ()) when Php sends me nothing. (I'm out of database info) I would like to error handle this so my program doesn't crash. I looked it up in the documentation and it says that the constructor ( Decode () ) throws "Error" when this particular type of thing occurs.
View 4 RepliesI need to catch a hover event on top of a flash object, so I set the wmode and created an invisible div on top of it to attach the event listeners to. Thing is, I can't click the flash object. The cover is swallowing the clicks, and the things I've tried to go around this have made a mess of the hover events. This is the 30th problem I ran into in 2 days time and it's driving me crazy xD.
View 1 RepliesWhen using a displacement filter on a clone bitmap of one of my DisplayObjects, I get one single frame this error and after that it works fine. Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (211567332, 211655201) are too large to be drawn.I've already read up a lot about it. At no point do any of the sizes of any of my displayobjects go outside the 4k x 4k pixels limit. Neither are zero sizes traced. By now I'm pretty sure the best way would be to catch/kill the error and ignore it since the visual is all fine
View 4 RepliesI'm currently writing a client in ActionScript 3 that talks to a Red5 application/media server via a NetConnection object. The server sends the client multiple types of data over this connection including video, audio and remote procedure calls. After an indeterminate amount of time (sometimes 10 seconds, sometimes 10 minutes) I see the following error in a popup window from my Debug version of the Flash client:"Error: Error #2030: End of file was encountered."
I'm in the process of trying to figure out what's causing this error and the thing that's really driving me nuts is that I can't seem to catch it. I realize that the error probably indicates some low-level network read failing, but the fact that it generates a popup window in the debug flash player implies that I should be able to catch it.Since the error has no associated stack trace, I went so far as to add the an uncaught exception handler on my base Sprite object:
public class MyClient extends Sprite
{
public function FOWClient()[code].....
My uncaught exception handler will get called properly if I purposely throw in some errors, but it never gets called when this Error #2030 happens.How the heck can I catch this "End of file was encountered" error and deal with it in code? If I can't catch it, are there any thoughts on what's causing it and how I fix that? I've narrowed it down to having to do with RPC calls being made from my server to my client because when I disable those, but leave audio & video, I don't see the issue. Unfortunately, I don't yet have any good ideas beyond that.
when I use hittest and eval?
