    <p>I know there have been tons of questions about this topic already but none of them have solved my issue, perhaps I am just missing something.</p> <p>Anyways, here is the deal. I have a happy little html5 game that plays some audio and sound affects etc and it works great in every browser that supports html5. However, those that don't require a flash fallback. No big deal right? Apparently not… I've made a small swf that should accept the mp3 url from JS and then get the mp3 and play it. I have to use this way as there are a lot of audio files and I would like to try and avoid making a swf file for each one.</p> <p>Here is the AS - I'm using the ExternalInterface to receive the variable from js.</p> <pre><code> import flash.external.*; ExternalInterface.addCallback("callFlash", playSound); function playSound(file:String):void { var s:Sound = new Sound(); s.load(new URLRequest(file)); s.play(); } </code></pre> <p>And then my JS to pass the variable:</p> <pre><code> var flash = $('#fbplayer')[0]; console.log(flash); //returns flash object so jquery is not the issue flash.callFlash(fallSource); </code></pre> <p>So theoretically everything should work fine (if I understand ExternalInterface correctly). However, the following error is thrown:</p> <pre><code> TypeError: flash.callFlash is not a function flash.callFlash(fallSource); </code></pre> <p>I can't seem to find where the issue was. I'm open to any answers or even a completely different way of doing this. As long as it works as this is holding up the delivery of the project :C</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COIs there more than 1 flash object on the page? I ask b/c of this: `var flash = $('#fbplayer')[0];`

    2. CONo only one flash object on the page but using [0] so that jQuery doesn't return an jQuery object - the [0] forces jQuery to take the object. As far as I know at least…

    3. COThe only other thing that jumps out (aside from the usual `allowScriptAccess` embed param) is that perhaps the JS is calling the Flash function before `ExternalInterface.addCallback()` has been executed.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
