Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and Javascript Interaction
I'm working with the ExternalInterface Class right now,
It seems to be working ok, but I am having a particular problem. Can
anyone who's used both point out any differences between the
ExternalInterface Class and the Integration Kit? Or was it just a pre
Flash 8 solution?
My problem, in case you can also help with this (Should I be posting
this in a separate post?):
My first call from Flash to Javascript (using ExternalInterace)
initiates a Javascript Object, this works happily and returns it's
name to prove it's existence.
The second call tries to refer to a method within that Object, using
the same interface. This fails from Flash, but works when called
from a HTML link (which invokes a Javascript call).
Does ExternalInterface allow you to make method calls to an Object?
If not does the JS/Flash Kit?
basic calls made are:
(First Call -Working, creates a JS Object)
var javaObj:String = "jsHistory"
var attempt:Object = ExternalInterface.call("initSubscriber", javaObj);
(Second Call - Not working, attempts to call JS Object method)
var attempt:Object = ExternalInterface.call
("jsHistory.loadNextBookmark")
Thanks

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash and Javascript Interaction
I would recommend looking at the Mustard Lab js integration tutorial as a start: http://www.mustardlab.com/developer/flash/jscommunication/ Similar to the MM one, but much more simple and very easy to get working. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rick Root Sent: 12 June 2006 15:29 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and Javascript Interaction Josh Santangelo wrote: > Tried the integration kit yet? > > http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/ No I hadn't because I didn't think all that was necessary.. but trying it now.
