now i'm testign with a super simple test swf in AS2 like this...
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
if(ExternalInterface.available)
{
statusTXT.text = "External Interface is available";
ExternalInterface.call("alert", "Called from flash");
getURL("javascript:alert('alternative JS call');");
}
and while both alert's fire on windows, in FF and chrome on ubuntu not even
the second one goes.
as far as timings go, in the actual project i call JS to set a var to say
that the flash is all ready and raring to go before anything gets called in
it. plus it works fine on windows in every browser i've tried...
