I'm trying to call a function in an action script using the ExternalInterface.addCallback
API, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here's what I have:
ActionScript:
//MyClass.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
public class MyClass extends Sprite
{
public function MyClass()
{
ExternalInterface.addCallback('getStringJS', getStringAS);
}
public function getStringAS():String
{
return "Hello World!";
}
}
}
NOTE: I'm compiling this into an swf using the flex mxmlc compiler if that matters.
HTML/Javascript:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>User Identification</title>
<head>
<body>
<object id="MyClass" name="MyClass" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="MyClass.swf" width="1" height="1">
<param name="movie" value="MyClass.swf">
<embed src="MyClass.swf" width="1" height="1">
</object>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flash = document.getElementById("MyClass");
var str = flash.getStringJS();
alert(str);
</script>
</body>
</html>
The error I'm getting is:
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'getStringJS'
I also tried adding in a timeout in case the swf file wasn't loading, but I didn't have any success with that method either.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Mike
I figured it out. The key way to signal the javascipt through
ExternalInterface.call
so we know for sure that the swf is loaded. The most "Universal" way to do this is as follows:MyClass.as
index.html
I think the issue is a matter of the flash not being loaded. I tried your code using the window.onload event and it worked for me:
The flash is the same...
HTML/JS :
Does that help?
