I have an .swf that I am embedding into HTML using the jQuery SWF Object plugin (http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject). I have a number of functions within the .swf that I need to call from within javascript functions. I've made these actionscript functions accessible to javascript by calling flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback...
Hi, I'm trying to get the current URL that the Flash player is on. Not the URL of the .swf file, but the URL that the browser is pointing to. Thus far I've used: var st:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href"); Unfortunately this doesn't work in IE. From my research, I can see that it won't work with IE either way. The...
Hi All, I am trying to make a call to javascript function from actionscript. As of now, I am using 'ExternalInterface' and could achieve partial success. I could make a call to function(without any scope resolution) like "scanDNA()", which is visible to all. But am not able to make a call to function(scope specified) like "Eukarya.An...

I am trying to use Javascript to intercept keyboard events, so I can do CMD-W for "close-window" and whatnot, inside a Flash application, so the Browser doesn't get to use them. Well, I am able to listen for ALT, CTRL, and CMD onKeyDown/onKeyPress events, but I am not able to listen to anything else... Here is the code, in the index.ht...
hi, I'm using this code to open a popup ExternalInterface.call("function () { window.open('" + url + "','" + title + "','" + options + "'); }"); for JavaScript people: calling ExternalInterface.call(string); from flash player lets the browser do eval(string)(); as this call is within a click handler, it even works perfectly with Fir...

I am using the ExternalInterface on Flex 3. We are actually using flex to compress a large amount of DOM data, so this is specifically being used with LARGE data. To further investigate, if there is a limitation, is this universal? (IE. Silverlight) First, let me state that this is being done with an application that was made by inexp...

The drawing tool can add text creating a TextField, and draw or add an image creating an empty MovieClip When the JS code calls the method to create the TextField, Fire...
Is there a way to get a list of the exposed functions from a Flash object? For example, you could get a list of all methods in an object by executing: for (var i in object) { if (typeof object[i] == "function") { console.log(i); } } The only issue is that this won't expose any methods registered through the ExternalInterfaces...
Hi, How would I go about passing a variable to a javascript function using ExternalInterface? ...
I have a simple html doc with a flex app and an iframe side-by-side (using a 1x2 table). There is a button in the flex app that, when clicked, sets the "src" property of the iframe to a URL by using the ExnternalInterface.call method to call a javascript function "doNavClick(url)". Or that's the idea. When I comment out the iframe obj...
I am working on my open source project Downloadify, and up until now it simply handles returning Strings in response to ExternalInterface.call commands. I am trying to put together a test case using JSZip and Downloadify together, the end result being that a Zip file is created dynamically in the browser, then saved to the disk using Fi...
