Gustavo:
Sorry, but I don't think you're coding this correctly. Specifically:
1) I don't see your browser size detection code in the HTML wrapper
file at all. E.g., it is missing:
> <script type="javascript>
>
> var browserHeight= screen.availHeight;
> var browserWidth = screen.availWidth;
>
> </script>
2) In any case, I'm not 100% clear as to what you are trying to
accomplish via the external interface. However, to get the available
screen width the following code will *probably* work (I haven't tried
it or tested it):
In ActionScript (note the quotation marks):
var width:Number = ExternalInterface.call("getAvailWidth");
assuming you have a JS function (in the HTML wrapper file) like this:
function getAvailWidth()
{
return screen.availWidth;
}
Then write similar code for the height, etc.
3) BTW, as a general rule, I've found it most productive to debug JS
code first (in isolation), _before_ attempting to call it from Flex.
4) Please look at the Adobe documentation for the ExternalInterface
API and the HTMLWrapper file again. I think--for now--you've reached
the limit as to what can reasonably be addressed via postings on
FlexCoders.
Good luck,
Jim
