    copied!<p>I know there are an abundance of articles and forum post (many of them from myself) regarding ExternalInterface, I guess I'll add one more...</p> <p>I have a small flash app (a button) which is set up to test the availability of ExternalInterface and it works great. I also have a larger, more complex, flash mp3 player, which I am trying to use ExternalInterface with; it does not work so great. The question is, where does the problem lie? My working externalInterface code looks like this: </p> <pre><code>import flash.external.ExternalInterface myBtn.onRelease = function(){ chkAvail(); } function chkAvail() { var myText:TextField = this.createTextField('myText', this.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 100, 300, 21); ExternalInterface.call("alert",'EI works!!"); myText.text = String(ExternalInterface.available); } </code></pre> <p>And all of that works great. My mp3 player code looks like this (excerpt, full code posted <a href="http://pastebin.com/f727ea599" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>): At the top-</p> <pre><code>import flash.external.ExternalInterface; </code></pre> <p>and where I want to call the javascript- </p> <pre><code>function loadPlaylist(){ //attempting to make external js call ExternalInterface.call("alert", "Hello World!1"); // track_display_mc.display_txt.text = LOADING_PLAYLIST_MSG; if(track_display_mc.display_txt._width&gt;track_display_mc.mask_mc._width){ track_display_mc.onEnterFrame = scrollTitle; }else{... </code></pre> <p>So why does the first one work and not the second one? I feel like I'm calling them correctly from the html. Could it be a problem with importing the flash.external.ExternalInterface? Should I include that in the .flv where the .as is imported/included, instead of in the actual actionscript? All help/ideas are greatly appreciated...</p>
