From a button in Flash I just want to call a function written in jQuery.When I place the function outside jQuery's $(document).ready it works fine:[code]
View 1 RepliesI've noticed something weird at IE. When i have a flash object (.swf) inside a page, then any action/function inside $(document).ready starts after the swf object has been fully loaded. (While in firefox, it doesn't need the swf to be fully loaded)
View 1 Repliesin an aspx page, the call for a lightbox to appear is this:
Code:
<a href="somePage.htm" rel="superbox[iframe][873x436]">
i need to make the same call, but from flash. i am pretty sure this would be done using ExternalInterface.call(); however, i am not sure how this would be done. can anyone shed some light on this? i tried doing the following, but to no avail:

I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
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 need to call a page inside a div, but with flash. I have this script on my page:
$('#bt_aoptica').click(function () {
$('#my_site_content').load("aoptica.html");
$("#menu ul li a").not(this).removeClass("currentMenu");[code]....
and this works perfectly with my menu.How i call this with actionscript 2??
Is it possible to detect when a flash embed object has loaded completey? Are there events that can be subscribed to that work in all browsers?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
This has been my problem for a couple of days now.... I need to send a variable from flash that is embedded in an html to a javascript that will eventually should print the variables(that is the use of the js :to print).
So I've been using externalInterface.call("printval",param1,param2,pa ram3) to send my variables... I've put an alert in my javascript so that i could test if the value is there, the frustrating thing is the alert is showing with the variables but the printing part isnt executed. I tried this in firefox and it work, but I need this in ie...
I'm having trouble getting externalInterface to work in my Document Class. I suppose it is because externalInteface.call is a static function. If I change the function it calls to static, it calls the function, but then of course that function cannot call anything else in the class.
View 6 RepliesI'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.
Calling jQuery Function from Flash
if we have a jQuery plugin of the following style[code]...
Could anyone point me in the right direction for how this call can be made directly or clarify if it's just not a supported operation?
The structure of my site is as follows:
mainPage.html contains - menu.swf & iframe1
iframe1 contains - subpage.html
subpage.html contains - subMenu.swf & contentpage.html
The way it works is that when menu.swf is clicked it changes the .src of iframe1 to load the appropriate subpage.html. Then when you click the subMenu.swf it changes the .src of iframe2 to load the appropriate contentpage.html[URL]..
It all works perfectly in Firefox but in IE the ExternalInterface call from the subMenu never reaches the container page to change the .src of the iframe.It seems as though it's something to do with the .swf being inside the iframe because I am still able to call a javascript function from within the iframe using an html button.
I want to load some jQuery code before the DOM is ready. I want to make a flash file transparant as the DOM loads. I was going to use something like this but Flash is initilized before the DOM loads.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('object:not(:has(wmode))').each(function(){
jQuery(this).attr('wmode', 'transparent');
[Code]....
The flash content is coming from our Advertisement Manager, which stupidly enough, doesn't allow direct editing of the HTML, as to add the required wmode attributed into the specific tags...
I am trying to scroll an html page back to top in response to an actionscript call
i have no knowledge of html or js, but i did this
in flash pro, in my document class i have this:
ExternalInterface.call("JumpScroll");
in the automatic html page wrapper made by flash pro (publish template "Flash with FSCommand") i added these lines inside the script block[code]...
I'm trying to call a function in an action script using the ExternalInterface.addCallback API, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here's what I have:
ActionScript:
//MyClass.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
The Error I'm getting is: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'getStringJS'
I also tried adding in a timeout in case the swf file wasn't loading, but I didn't have any success with that method either.
In Wordpress I have put the following javascript code in my HEAD section:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

using ExternalInterface to call JavaSript function on other html site. (because most of the examples show only how to use it within the same domain).
View 1 RepliesFor some reason, the ExternalInterface.avaiable shows true, but it won't call alert(). Can anyone shed some light to this problem?
private function checkEI():void {

Im trying to use JS to send data to my Flash AS2.0 music player with ExternalInterface, except there are no good tutorials or guides on ExternalInterface that I can find. I want to be able to change the current song in the player by clicking a JavaScript link, and on page / window load without clicking, play a default song.
I dont need a super complicated answer on loading sounds in flash, etc., I am just having a lot of difficulties getting JS to send anything to Flash, and when I get that to work - would I need to put some if / else into the flash to determine if the link has been clicked or not?

I have website I am developing and I have an intro SWF that I have placed the following AS 3.0 code in the last frame to call the Jquery function "trigger" ; or I might be able to detect the end of the movie and then fire the function.
PHP Code:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;ExternalInterface.call("trigger")trace ("the movieEnded");stop();
Here is the function in Jquery in my HTML page.

We have been given some code that does a URLRequest call which is really slow to respond, so I was looking to make it pull the data from the page, as it is already on the page.[code]I have tried to replace it with this (actionscript is definitely not my forte):[code]I am using addCallBack as that is what the editor suggested via autocomplete, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately I cannot go back to the developer at this time.The error message is:Call to a possibly undefined method addCallback through a reference with static type flash.external:ExternalInterface
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to pass a variable through a function, but I'm getting it's value 0. Here's my code:
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToCategory);
function goToCategory(e:MouseEvent) {
trace(c);[code]....
this trace gives me value of 0. Normally I would do goToCategory(c) and inside that category I would get it's value, but in this case I'm calling this function with an event, how can that be done?
var c is declared globally, so I'm using it above this code in different place... is there smth like global $c like in PHP.. or there's some other way to do it?!
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 have a Document class that instantiates a class named Other.
