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.
