View 3 RepliesI am currently using ExternalInterface to call JS functions from Flex. Is it possible to do the same the other way around: have Flex execute a function when a certain trigger is executed in JS? I want to have a Flash app with buttons in HTML that when pressed call functions inside the Flex app.
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex client application. I need a clean up function to run in Flex when the user closes the browser. I found the following solution on the net, but it only works half-way for me. How could I fix it?CustomEvent triggered, but not executed. >> EventHandler for CustomEvent.SEND_EVENTS is defined by a Mate EventMap. All the handler does is to call an HTTPServiceInvoker. In debug console, I'm able to see the handler and HTTPServiceInvoker being triggered, but neither the resultHandlers nor the faultHandlers were called. I know this event handler has no problem because when I dispatch the same CustomEvent.SEND_EVENTS in a button click handler, it behaves exactly as I expected)Browser seems to wait for cleanUp function to complete before it closes. (all traces were printed before browser closes down)
Code
I added the following into the index.template.html
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;

I'm developing a game add-on/plugin which replaces a built in feature of an online game. The game loads an .swf therefore, my solution also has to be an swf for it to work 'in-game'.
I would like to be able to have the user press a button in the custom .swf I am making - and this would open an external application (amongst other things). I.e. if there was a button that said Notepad, it would open Notepad.exe on the machine.
My initial thinking was that i could have a XML Socket server 'daemon' runnning (c#) , which i could connect to with flash - however, as both the swf and the daemon are local, flash complained and gave this error: "Error #2010: Local-with-filesystem SWF files are not permitted to use sockets."
The only way i know to fix this - is to change the security settings of flash - not very user friendly!
So! Any thoughts on how I could otherwise go about this? I was thinking a custom http server could do the trick (connected with URLRequest) although i'm not too sure.
ARCITECHTURE:the way I've set up this Flash doesn't work properly.in my html I load a preloader.swf.this preloader.swf is build with ActionScript in the first frame.this preloader.swf loads a content.swf this content.swf is build with ActionScript in a Document Class...
everything works properly this far.MY PROBLEM:my problem comes when I - using JavaScript - try calling a function in my content.swf the function I try to call is this:
public function playThisMovie(theMovieToPlay:String):void {
var newM:String = theMovieToPlay;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", "the new movie is = "+newM);
}
when calling this function nothing happens, even though I know the function exists..can it be, that I cannot call my function because it is inside my content.swf..and if yes, is there a workaround I can use?
I am a newbie to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 platform. I don't know whether this is the correct place to post this kind of queries/problems/issues here. Till now, I had posted only basic flash issues here in this forum. I feel this is the most powerful issue which created head-ache to me till now. I spent nearly 4 hours working with this issue. But, I don't find any solution even in google.I have created a swf file, which when gets executed, gets data from backend database and displays as items in Combo-box. In swf file, if we select an item from Combo-box, collects data from database and gets back to flash and displays them as items in Combo-box. Each item has a specific image(.jpg file)associated,which gets displayed on stage of flash file(.swf file) upon selected from combo-box.
I am calling/invoking the flash file, When I click on a Button/select a tab created within my Java application.But,when the button gets clicked/tab gets selected, Combo-box is visible in flash file, but with no elements when we try to click upon it and the following error is getting displayed in a dialog-box:Title of the error is: An action-script error has occured.[URL]

I'm authoring in Flash CS4 using Motion Tweens.
Here is the situation. I have a JavaScript that closes the DIV containing my flash object. It currently closes after 15 seconds. That is supposed to be how long the Flash movie lasts. however, slower machines run the movie longer. this means the flash object closes too quickly and they don't see the entire movie. . . if I increase the time, the users of fast machines have to wait around awhile for the movie to disappear.
So, I would like the movie to execute the javaScript when it gets to the last frame.
My page uses both flash and javascript. Currently, I have a video player which makes use of commands like "videoP.sendEvent('PLAY');". I'm building a new, custom player and have never used the sendEvent() method.I've always used "setVariable" with a listener.
I'd like to NOT alter the code in my html page and make use of it's sendEvent() functionality. So, I guess my question is ... how do I RECEIVE the event? The player is already targeted properly within my html. I just need to tell my flash doc to execute the information it receives.
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

Would I be able to get that function executed in the Flash application?

I would like to download a function as a string from my server into a Flash swf-document on the computer of a customer. So this download would be executed client-side. Then I would like to 'execute' the string, just as I do with the 'eval'-function in php/javascript.The important thing here is that the function is not stored client-side on the harddisk (like the swf-document) and that the function only remains in the computer memory.
View 12 RepliesI am struggling trying to put together two or three tutorials in order to make a photo gallery with numbers as the navigation to work. I am almost there, the problem is that in addition to the numbers as navigation I also wanted to have the option to change the images using a previous and next button. Here is a link of what I am trying to do:

The reason the previous and next buttons don't work is because their functions are within a main function that is called onRelease of one the number buttons. Once you click the numbers, the previous and next start to work.

We're using External Interface for interfacing between Flash and JavaScript on the HTML page. All works fine online. When we
try to localize the pages though (so that a Salesperson can have a CD full of demos), none of them seem to work.Is this an over-sensitive Flash security issue? We already have allowscriptaccess='always' and swliveconnect=true in the object/embed tags.
What can we do that doesn't require changes on each individual machine to set trust paths or any other kind of browser configuration? Not only do we want to have this content working on the machine of a salesperson, we may get clients that want to deploy content offline (kiosks, machines without any network access).
