AS3 ExternalInterface works in IE but not Firefox
- by user567602
Hi all,
I am trying to execute an AS3 function from my javascript using the ExternalInterface. Seems to work fine in IE, but firefox is always returning javascript error method undefined.
I have been Googling this for ages and eliminated the following possibilities:
1) Some people say you need to have an embed tag inside your object tag, so added one - no luck.
2) Many people say that you need to make sure that your flash is loaded before calling the javascript. Well my call is after pressing a link on the page. I am always using the flash application first and only pressing the link at the end.
3) Then I thought that maybe it is a security problem so added the following:
try {
ExternalInterface.addCallback("test", testing);
trace("added callback");
}
catch (error:SecurityError) {
trace("Security Error:"+error.message);
}
catch (error:Error) {
trace("Error:"+error.message);
}
But it prints out "added callback" :(
Anyone else have any ideas what else could I possible try? I am running the latest Firefox and FlashPlayer 10.
Regards,
Olli
