On a more abstract level then a previous question, in my experience there are 3 ways to call a javascript function on an html page from an embedded .swf using AS3: ExternalInterface, fscommand, and navigateToURL. Let's compare and contrast these methods (and maybe others I haven't listed) and talk about the pros and cons of each - right...

I would like to add sound alerts to a web application. I believe that Flash is the best way to do this to support all major browsers, ie. IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari. Chrome does not seem to work with the non-flash sound solutions. I have been using jQuery and would like to use the jQuery Sound plug-in. An example is shown at jQuery S...

I haven't done much with actionscript for a long time, but some googling led me here, and to ExternalInterface. It seemed perfect, however there is one problem...
I'm downporting some ActionScript 3 to ActionScript 2 (some ad agencies sadly still refuse to embrace the future) and I've run into the issue that in ActionScript 2 ExternalInterface has no objectID property, as it does in ActionScript 3. The code I'm working on calls a lot of JavaScript, and some of that code requires the script to kno...

I have a Flash movie which has a number of actionscript 2 functions which are exposed to Javascript via ExternalInterface. Normally this movie works fine and Javascript can communicate with it. But sometimes, intermittently and without explanation, the flash object in Javascript will not have the ExternalInterface functions. This happens...

I am having a hard time getting ExternalInterface to work on Firefox. I am trying to call a AS3 function from javascript. The SWF is setup with the right callbacks and it is working in IE.

Hello all. I'm trying to determine if my flash content is inside a container. I have no idea what this means, but apparently it's bad for making ExternalInterface.calls. I'm developing the site on a linux machine I'm running the server on and I'm working with the flash on a windows machine. I've tried many options for using trace, none o...

Unfortunately, I couldn't really find any real pointers on dealing with XDR data using erlang. So what is the recommended way of dealing with XDR encoded data in erla...
