Re: [Flashcoders] ExternalInterface.call not working on desktop...??
Hi, html on the desktop is not going work, but you might have some luck when updating the security settings. I have the following batch file in most of my projects: @echo off rem echo %APPDATA% rem echo %CD% echo [Enter name for security file inserted into %APPDATA%]: echo (use a single keyword, no spaces, no dots and no .cfg in it) SET /p fileName= echo Creating %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\%fileName%.cfg echo %CD% >> "%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\%fileName%.cfg" Store it in a batch file in the same dir as your fla, run it and enter some bogus keyword to identify your settings with, eg desktop. regards JC On Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 1:08 AM, Barry Hannah wrote: > AFAIK ExternalInterface doesn't work in the standalone player, only in the > browser. > > You should be getting error messages to that effect.

RE: [Flashcoders] ExternalInterface.call not working on desktop...??
AFAIK ExternalInterface doesn't work in the standalone player, only in the browser. You should be getting error messages to that effect. You can test whether or not it's available to use with the Boolean ExternalInterface.available property.

Re: [Flashcoders] ExternalInterface.call not working on desktop...??
I think if the loaded swf is in a main swf, it inherits the root security? Not positive.

Check you publish settings, you probably have it set to network only.
