Javascript in stand alone Flash / Flash lite app

Question

Hi Can a stand alone flash / flashlite app invoke javascript functions using externalinterface or any other interfacing feature in actionscript ?

thanks kunal

Answer 1

Yes you can do it using:

ExternalInterface.call("javaScriptFunction", "parameter", "parameter");

Here is the documentation.

Answer 2

Charlie boy has pointed out my concern as well. Using ExternalInterface, Javascript is invoked in the container (eg, the web browser) that also runs flash.

Answer 3

you can always play with anonymous functions as well if you dont have direct access to the container:
