I have an ActionScript program that I want to access some external JavaScript functions. By external, I mean that the ActionScript/swf aren't going to be loaded via the HTML/JavaScript. Everything I see recommends ExternalInterface, but that seems to imply that your JS loads your swf. Is there a way to call a JavaScript function by URL?

I'm loading from my main page an external js file, with a function.
I have a flash file in the main page invoking the javascript function.
Everything worked very well until when the javascript code was in the main file, but when I moved javascript to an external file the function seems not called anymore.
So... there is no way to move the javascript code to an external file ? Or any other solution ?

I need to call a function in JS that's expecting a JSON object. Can I do this from External Interface? The company's example (after the include file url) in HTML looks like this:
//there's an js include URL earlier//
Shopwithme.Initialize({
"id":"prod1234",
[code]...
But, I need to dictate these vars through Flash. How do I call this function using External Interface?This is my EI code, but I'm obviously off base, since it's not working:
ExternalInterface.call("Shopwithme.Initialize",[{ "id":"prod1234",
"type":"2","URL":"http://www.somelink.com"}]);
What do I need to do to call this javascript?
I'm trying to edit some flash to make an external javascript function call, but with no success. Here's my actionscript 2.0 code:
[Code]....
I've seen lots of examples and I'm mainly confused about the use of ExternalInterface.addCallback. I don't need the javascript to return anything to flash, so is this necessary? For whatever reason, I never see the alert. Does anyone see any problems in my code? Is there some ExternalInterface library I don't have? Also, what's the BEST way to use ExternalInterface (ie; error checking, etc.)
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.
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?

View 1 RepliesI want to display a Flash video in a popup window, and when the video has finished playing, close the window using a javascript function "closeIt":
<script>
function closeIt() {
alert("About to close...");
[code]....
How can I achieve this? I have imported a video into Flash (choosing "load external video with playback component"). This is in frame1. I thought that in the second frame I could make a call to ExternalInterface.call("closeIt") in the Actions window. I have tried this, but when I publish and view the flash movie in a web brower, I never see the javascript alert.
this is my actionscript function code:
function sayWhat(){
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();

mySound.play();

View 1 RepliesIt took me a while, but I was finally able to get my flash file to call a javascript function on my webpage. I had to add this as2 code:System.security.allowDomain("*");This fixed my problem, but it causes a compiler error:Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line1119: Access of possibly undefined property security through a reference with static type Class.How do I do allow my domain with as3? I tried Security.allowDomain('*') but that doesn't seem to fix my orginal problem.
View 2 RepliesI have a test where I have to check that when a particular item is selected on a web page, the item is loaded into a flash object on the same page. This being done via Javascript. I have to check whether the parameters being passed to flash by Javascript are correct(i.e. the right item is being passed to flash). The only way I can imagine as of now is to intercept these javascript functions and somehow read their parameters.

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">

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.

I'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.
