Flex/Flash 4 ExternalInterface.call - trying to get a string from HTML to Actionscript.
- by Setori
Dear all,
I need to obtain a string from HTML and put it into Actionscript.
the actionscript:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
protected function getUserName():void{
var isAvailable:Boolean = ExternalInterface.available;
var findUserName:String = "findUserName";
if(isAvailable){
var foundUserName:String = ExternalInterface.call(findUserName);
Alert.show(foundUserName);}}
the javascript:
function findUserName() {
var label = document.getElementById("username-label");
if(label.value != ""){
alert("the name in the box is: " + label.value);
return label.value;}
else
return "nothing in the textbox";}}
the JSP:
<%IUserSession userSession = SessionManager.getSession();%>
<logic:notEmpty name="userSession">
<logic:notEqual value="anonymous" name="userSession" property="userLoginId">
<td align="right" width="10%" >
<input id="username-label" type="text" value="<bean:write name="userSession" property="userLoginId"/>" />
</td>
</logic:notEqual>
</logic:notEmpty>
the rendered HTML:
<td align="right" width="10%">
<input id="username-label" type="text" value="a-valid-username" />
</td>
when the javascript execution hits
var label = document.getElementById("username-label");
a null is returned and crashes, no alert shows no error message is shown.
firfox 3.5 windows, container is Tomcat.
Please advise, and thank you in advance.
