I have a windowed Flex application (AIR) that uses an HTML file for the UI, but I have some Flex code that needs to be executed when the page is loaded.I have imported the HTML interface into the app using the < mx:HTML /> tag. The communicate between javascript and flex, but only if you are using an external HTML file in a browser, and not in a windowed app.
View 2 Repliesfor some reason, whenever I dynamically load a swf on a $(document).ready() by writing to a div, I am unable to make javascript calls to the browser. Specifically, all calls to the browser return "null". This does not occur when embedding the swf normally on the page load, but I would like to prevent loading of the swf until a specified point in time.
What the heck is going on here? Is there something special about dynamically embedding a swf that prevents the swf from talking to the browser? The methods ARE called (I've proven such by showing alerts), but all return values to any function, regardless of type returned, shows as null when it gets to flash.
We're currently building a Flex application using the PureMVC framework with a shell.swf which loads/unloads modules dynamically. We're experiencing issues with memory and we're looking to replace the shell.swf with a JavaScript-based loader.Two questions:What would be a good framework to dynamically load the Flex components and allow the modules to communicate between each other?Would dynamically loading/unloading the modules via JavaScript take care of the typical memory problems associated with Flex/Flash applications?
View 1 RepliesMy index.php file loads the Facebook JavaScript SDK and the FBJS bridge:[code]When I run this file on my server, I can communicate with Facebooks JavaScript SDK either indirectly through ExternalInterface calls, launching various Facebook UI dialogs etc. And I can also use the facebook-actionscript-api to launch the same dialogs directly from ActionScript.When I however use this index file as my Facebook canvas url and load the swf in a Facebook iFrame, the communication crashes the application. I'm not sure how to debug this but I think it might have to do with crossdomain security. Any ideas on debugging and/or solutions are welcome.

If I playing one swf, the other swfs should pause if it was playing. I can able to communicate two swfs using javascript(both swfs are different name). But come to multiple swfs, I don't know how to differentiate the swfs beacause all are same name. I have embed 3 swf files in my html page using the following script.

In Flash Player 10.1 and later, the ScriptBridge class provides another way to communicate from JavaScript running in a browser to ActionScript (but not from ActionScript to JavaScript). The ScriptBridge class offers significantly better performance than the ExternalInterface class, and provides access to the entire ActionScript 3.0 API from JavaScript. By contrast, the ExternalInterface class provides access only to callback functions in ActionScript.If you need to call JavaScript from ActionScript, or need to communicate between ActionScript and any other programming language
you must use the ExternalInterface API. If you need to call ActionScript from JavaScript, the ScriptBridge class is recommended. The rest of the section describes the ExternalInterface class.my research makes me believe that this new Flash Player plugin API is most likely resulting from implementing recent changes in the Netscape Plugin API. Hopefully it should be as simple as having the player script NPObject properties and functions to use to access objects, packages and classes of the flash application.

in this example the aplication would pass key to the javascrip function and the function would put the value in the swf variable called _root.valor. So the problem is (as you already know) _root has gone in AS3. And every thing i tryed so far seems not to work. every thing i read so far was to embeb the swf in the js and use
root.loaderInfo.parameters.valor, well i dont want to use the embedSWF because i need to get the activeX cotnrol from my document. Is there any _root replacement? is anyway to get this to work at all ?

I am embedding a website into my application, and Adobe Air does not recognize the breakline HTML tag in the source code (Firefox and Chrome auto-correct the error). I have attached the source code below. Is there a way to replace the breakline with the correct syntax (no forward slash). I do not control the website, I am merely loading it into my application, so I can't just change it at the source. I am using an mx: html object and htmlLoader to load the url.

I'm working on a site that allows administrators to upload arbitrary SWFs and embed them on the page. Administrators are in theory trusted, but I still want to protect against potentially malicious administrators or misguided administrators from harming the site.
A part of the functionality of the site is that the SWFs can communicate to the containing browser page when it's finished and for the page to react.
Now, I can think of two ways to do this:
Use ExternalInterface.addCallback to create a global callback named something like isComplete that does logic and returns true or false depending on whether the Flash app is in a completed state. Then, just do something like setTimeout to just call that function repeatedly. I don't think this would require me to open up allowscriptaccess to the movie. Embed the movie with allowscriptaccess and have the movie call something like ExternalInterface.call('done') when it's finished. This option seems like it requires me to open up allowscriptaccess, which is a potential threat since I can't control the SWFs that would be embedded with this directive.

I am creating a flash object that does some heavy image lifting. What I am looking to do is load many flash objects onto the same page to take an image, modify it, and display it within the flash object.The problem I am running into is that when I try to add 100 flex objects to the page, the browser freezes as it tries to re-load/initialize each instance.Once they are all loaded, the processing of the images goes by quick.Does anyone know how to duplicate the flash piece without having to reload everything?

View 3 RepliesI need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.
