I tried bringing this issue up before and was curious what peoples
thoughts were. See my post here for additional info:
http://osflash.org/pipermail/osflash_osflash.org/2005-June/000499.html
The products at my company are desktop apps with wrappers around them.
Bottom line is all of the data and window manipulation is done via
javascript so I had to work out a way of communicating flash to
javascript / javascript to flash. I ended up working it out so that I
can send multiple events, one after another (example: download status
bars in flash for video that's downloading to the user's computer).
I'd love to see what solution we could come up which could be rolled
back into the integration kit. I'll look for Mike around here at
flashforward today and bug him :)

Woah. Lets all read the email.
he is not having an issue with calling ActionScript to JavaScript. We
have fixed the issues around calling getUrl multiple times (after
jesse brought it to our attention).
He is having an issue making quick calls into flash from
actionscript. I spoke with Christian about this, and we think we have
a pretty good solution that will fix this issue.

Yeah,
Although I’m not using the JavaScript integration kit, but I had
similar issues with using getURL() with our piece that communicates
with JavaScript and had to change the calls to fscommand. It works
well, now that I made the change, but it sure was a pain to figure
out that that was what was going on.
I suppose the main problem with using fscommand is that fewer
browsers support it; but if you need to make calls in rapid
succession I think it’s the only way.

I believe that the current build of Flash/JSIK is based on getURL.
I had recommended that not use that as the direct communciation
method to JavaScript because of this very issue, but apparently no
one was reporting such issues beyond me until now.
If you can go find the actual call the getURL and change to
fscommand, that's the first part, however, I know from the code I
saw awhile ago, you'll need to some changes on the JavaScript side
to support fscommand.
Bottom line, getURL fires only once per frame, and even then it's
not accurate vs. fscommand which is syncronous to JavaScript.
If you link me to the SVN, I can try to take a look tonight.

Subject: [osflash] rapid JavaScript to ActionScript proxy calls
Hello all.
I have checkout out the lastest Flash / JS Integration kit code (via
svn), compiled it, and am running into the following problem:
I have several ActionScript calls (8 total) to a JavaScript function
named doCommand(). These I see and are all received by my
JavaScript function. So far so good...
Now each time the doCommand() function is called, it immediately
issues a call back ActionScript using the FlashProxy object. Listed
below are those eight commands:
flashProxy.call
("setCoreChildren","student_id,student_name,lesson_location");
flashProxy.call("setCoreMode","browse");
flashProxy.call("setLessonLocation","");
flashProxy.call("setSuspendData","");
flashProxy.call("setTotalTime","00:00:00");
flashProxy.call("setObjectivesCount","0");
flashProxy.call("setInteractionCount","0");
flashProxy.call("setStudentName","Smith, Jonathan");
In my flash movie, I have each of these methods trace what they
receive, and unfortunately the last ActionScript function
"setStudentName" is the only one being called.
I recall someone posted bug and a fix for this issue, but I wasn't
sure if the fix addressed the problem from ActionScript rapidly
calling JavaScript, or vice versa. Can someone please shed some
light on this? Is there a known issue calling the FlashProxy object
multiple times in rapid succession?
