  1. POProblem accessing ExternalInterface exposed method in Google Chrome
    text
    copied!<p>My simple ActionScript I am trying to use Flash's <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ExternalInterface</a> to setup a callback so that JavaScript can call a method on my Flash object. Everything works fine in Safari, Firefox and in IE, but I cannot get Chrome working. When I try the code on Chrome, I get the following error: </p> <blockquote> <p>Uncaught TypeError: Object #&lt;an HTMLObjectElement&gt; has no method 'setText'</p> </blockquote> <p>Here is the example HTML I am using (again, works fine in Safari, FF and IE)</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="mycontent"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; swfobject.embedSWF("http://invincible.dynalias.com:8080/HelloWorld.swf", "mycontent", "400", "420", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", {}, {allowScriptAccess:'always'},{id:'hw',name:'hw'}); function getFlash(movieName) { return ( navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) ? window[movieName] : document.getElementById(movieName); } &lt;/script&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="exampleText" /&gt; &lt;input type="button" value="Set Text" onclick="getFlash('hw').setText(document.getElementById('exampleText') .value)" /&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>and here is the ActionScript...</p> <pre><code>package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.external.ExternalInterface; import flash.system.Security; public class HelloWorld extends Sprite { private var textField:TextField = new TextField(); public function HelloWorld() { Security.allowDomain("*"); ExternalInterface.addCallback("setText", this.setText); textField.text = "Hello, world!"; addChild(textField); } public function setText(text:String):void { this.textField.text = text; } } } </code></pre>
