A couple of things which stand out: 1) I don't see anywhere in your pasted Flash code which deals with a Flash var called "mp3", so I am unsure if there is more to the code or if the swf is not designed to take the mp3 var initially...
2) As you have a proper ExternalInterface method which loads / kills external sounds etc, you shouldn't ever need to destroy/recreate your swf (unless you are using the same dom element to load other swfs/content. 3) I would listen for the "resetPlay" function call in your html/js code, as this tells you when the swf is loaded/external interface is all set up etc. You are then safe to call doPlay(), stopPlay() etc on your swf. 4) Have a look at the EI example o the test suite to see how the code checks for the existence of functions / wires up the html buttons etc: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_com.html with embed callback: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_com2.html Cheers, Aran On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 2:59 PM, Arknath <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > New to the group, so hi! > > Having an issue getting my JS to call ActionScript (AS) functions. > > Scenario: > > Have a page full of ringtones (15-25) and want to have the ability to > play a preview before purchase.
