Flash External Interface issue with Firefox
- by majestiq
I am having a hard time getting ExternalInterface to work on Firefox. I am trying to call a AS3 function from javascript. The SWF is setup with the right callbacks and it is working in IE.
I am using AC_RunActiveContent.js to embed the swf into my page. However, I have modified it to add an ID to the Object / Embed Tags. Below are object and embed tag that are generated for IE and for Firefox respectively.
<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="400" height="400" align="middle" id="jpeg_encoder2" name="jpeg_encoder3" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" >
<param name="movie" value="/jpeg_encoder/jpeg_encoder3.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="play" value="true" />
<param name="loop" value="true" />
<param name="scale" value="showall" />
<param name="wmode" value="window" />
<param name="devicefont" value="false" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
</object>
<embed
width="400"
height="400"
src="/jpeg_encoder/jpeg_encoder3.swf"
quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
align="middle"
play="true"
loop="true"
scale="showall"
wmode="window"
devicefont="false"
id="jpeg_encoder2"
bgcolor="#ffffff"
name="jpeg_encoder3"
menu="false"
allowFullScreen="false"
allowScriptAccess="always"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" >
</embed>
I am calling the function like this...
<script>
try {
document.getElementById('jpeg_encoder2').processImage(z);
} catch (e) { alert(e.message); }
</script>
In Firefox, I get an error saying "document.getElementById("jpeg_encoder2").processImage is not a function"
Any Ideas?
