    <p>I am having in issue with IE passing a string back into an swf using the EternalInterface class in Flash CS4.</p> <p>I have an swf with the following code:</p> <pre><code>var externalString:String = ExternalInterface.call("IncomingJS") </code></pre> <p>which is inside an event listener attached to an Event.ENTERFRAME and an if statement waiting for ExternalInterface.available. </p> <p>The <code>IncomingJS</code> function looks like:</p> <pre><code>function IncomingJS() { return stringFromHTML; } </code></pre> <p>and sits on the HTML page with the swf.</p> <p>I am able to successfully get the <code>externalString</code> variable and procceed with the rest of the AS3 script in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but not in IE.</p> <p>If I add in an <code>alert (stringFromHTML)</code> before the return statement in the Javascript, I get the value of the <code>stringFromHTML</code> spammed, which looks like Flash is firing the function at the right rate.</p> <p>The embed code in HTML for the swf is a little simple:</p> <pre><code>&lt;object width="750" height="200" id="controlledScale"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.myURL.com/controlledScale.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.myURL.com/controlledScale.swf" width="750" height="200" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks, DavidB</p> <h2>Edit</h2> <p>I realise how poor the SWF embed code is. Unfortunately, the HTML code is actually working within a 3rd party HTML generator, and one of it's limitations is that I can only have a single line (with unlimited length) of html at a time.</p> <p>Are the other options (swfObject etc) able to run either with no line breaks in the code, or would I be asking for trouble with Javascript and the SWF to, instead of embedding the SWF directly, use something like an iFrame and refer to a 'proper' flash delpoyment html file?</p> <p>Kind of at a point on this one where I'm not even sure where the problem is actually located. The swf's are find sending out to Javascript across all browsers, just not getting info back in IE only.</p>

A row detail

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.
