I am guessing that maybe the EI functions are just simply not initialized yet for the browsers in question. This a known issue that there's a slight few ms delay between a SWF being added to a page and the EI being initialized.
I have a library called CheckPlayer which provides an event callback for EI_READY, so you could use that. Or you could do your own logic to simply loop/wait until the EI function call works (use a try/catch, with the catch clause resetting the loop to wait another interval). NOTE: don't try to detect if the function is defined or not, as the EI function callbacks in IE are never "defined" even though they can be called... they are special, not real JS functions. The only way I know of to test if EI is ready is to try to make a call in a try/catch. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ivan" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:59 AM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Calling ExternalInterface methods from another window > > Add.: Is embeding function callback event reference window specific? > Can the window be specified? > > With best regards, Ivan > > On Jun 25, 6:47 pm, Ivan <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi! >> >> Not quite an SWFObject question, but: are there any restrictions when >> calling ExternalInterface methods of a flash object that's embedded in >> a JavaScript-opened popup window? >> >> The flash object in popup is referenced via callback function of >> swfobject.embedSWF.
