External Interface/Javascript call working in IE/Safari not FF/Chrome
I'm hitting a brick wall here, and it's driving me mad. Used to use ExternalInterface to call Flash functions from Javascript all the time, and now under CS5 (and the way it uses object id's instead of embed in html) it's stopped working for me in certain browsers.
I put together a really simple program that has the person click a link in the browser that activates a javascript function that simply sends some text in to Flash to display in a TextArea. Here's the as3 code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import fl.controls.TextArea;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class sendtest extends Sprite {
private var resultText:TextField = new TextField();
public function sendtest() {
addChild(resultText);
resultText.x = 0;
resultText.y = 0;
resultText.text = "hello";
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("putText", addText);
public function addText(theText:String):void
resultText.text = theText;
Here's the html page code:

This works perfectly fine in IE and Safari, and the text "thetext" is sent to the Flash movie and displayed inside. It causes errors in FF and Chrome however:
Chrome: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'putText'
FF: flash.putText is not a function
As for browser versions I'm using:
FF is 4.0
Chrome is 10.0.648.205
IE is 8
Safari on the Mac is 5.0.4
Can anybody shed some light on what's going on here and offer a solution? It shouldn't be this hard to access Flash movie functions in all 4 browsers.
to use the callBack method you need to use additional javascript code to reference the embedded swf. i don't have help files set-up right now but i know there's example code there showing how to reference the embedded swf. you need that additional code.

Continuity calling works but Handoff does not.
I got continuity calling to work by doing the on & off tricks with my iPhone 6 and iPad 4, but Handoff still does not work.
Hi.
Continuity works one way here: I can continue on my Mac, but not vice versa, Also cellular calling worked that way: receive on Mac works but no outgoing calls. I managed to get the latter work by switching a setting in FaceTime preferences, but continuity discontinues to work both ways.

I try to click Sign in again and the page is just refreshed. My account still exists bc I can reach it on Safari and Google Chrome, but I don't want to have to switch browsers.

Published interactive project works in IE but not in Chrome???
My buttons and interactions are working through an Internet Explorer browser, but loose their functionality when play via Chrome. Anyone have any ideas?
If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

Validate the html code here:

You will have to fix all the errors if you want this to work in all browsers.

You probably don't have a virus. Viruses are a ubiquitous PC thing but a rare mac thing.
Here are a few things to try to fix the situation:
1. Restart your mac. Fixes most problems.
2. Delete the preferences files for Chrome and Safari, then restart. Note, you will have to reenter your preferences. The preferences are found in Users/your user account/Library/Preferences. Lion hides the Library. You can get to it by holding down the option key and going to the Go menu in the Finder.
3. If that doesn't work, I'd delete Safari and Chrome and reinstall them. -

Added a spry menu bar and site works in firefox but not in chrome or IE. Please help
Hello,
I'm a photographer by trade and have only picked up enough web design knowledge in order to build a website that isn't distracting to my photographs and is simple to update and mantain. Please breakdown any answers to my questions in very simple terms.
To start off here is a link to my site for reference. www.cechternach.com
1. My Biggest problem right now is that my site works in firefox but appears as a blank white page in chrome and in IE it only shows my background color.
I'm assuming that this has something to do with the spry menu bar I added. The galleries, banner, and footer were all part of a previous version of this website that didn't use the menu bar. I actually used png's exported from an illustrator as buttons. I've been wrestling with this menu bar for a few days now. I had an issue with the menubar forcing down the gallery below it. that was fixed by changing a position value from relative to absolute in the menubar css. Then I couldn't see the submenu over the galleries. I think I fixed that with a wmode change but I"m not sure if I did that right. I believe i needed to change that in the object and embed part of the code. One spot for certain browsers and the other spot for other browsers. I was a little confused on this because i also read that i needed to change the wmode in the javascript file in dreamweaver cs4 which is what i'm using. Whatever wmode I changed it seemed to work in firefox. The submenu background was showing up transparent but i fixed that in the menubar css.
2. I would like the submenu's to have a semi transparent blurred background effect. Is this possible with a spry menu bar?
3. How do I center my text in the submenu?
4. My menu bar buttons should be the same font as my name in my banner. It looks fine on my computer that has that font loaded but on other computers I was testing the site on the menubar buttons show up as a default font. How can i fix this?
5. Is there any way to get rid of the grey lines that show up around my slideshow pro galleries and menu bar buttons when they are clicked?
The last four questions aren't as important as the first one. I may be upsetting the flow of the forum as well. Please let me know if I'm not following procedure with any of my questions. Feel free to point out any other problems you see with my page. I'm trying to learn this as I go. Thanks in advance.Spry widgets, which includes the SpryMenuBar, in their original state do not pose any problem in any browser!
Widgets contain two parts
JavaScript which drives the widget
CSS which styles the widget to individual tastes
The most common reason for a widget to misbehave especially in IE is because the inexperienced web developer has upset the delicate balance of the CSS. I say delicate, because in the original, great care has been taken by the Spry team to ensure cross browser compatibility.
There are other reasons why a whole page can misbehave. In these cases, the culprit should be sought outside of the Spry framework.
When trouble shooting, I would first of all comment out all of the Spry Spry parts and test the page in IE. If it does work after that, then yes come back here and we will have a look at the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for you.
If it doesn't work after disabling Spry, then have a look at the coding and the CSS for your page and fix that.
I hope this helps.

External interface memory leak?
Hello,
I am embedding the flash player inside a Visual C++
application. My program uses the external interface extensively.
The external interface is called several times a second ( ~20 fps )
each time a ~1k XML string is passed to the flash player.
During execution the program increases its memory by ~10 Mega
each hour. I have used the Umdh tool to try to locate the problem.
It points to the line where the container program uses the external
interface to call a function inside the swf movie.
Below is a typical output of the Umdh tool:
+ 3396588 ( 3405883 - 9295) 261991 allocs BackTrace12EF

The System.totalMemory value of the flash player ranges from
2.2 Mbyte to 3.2. I tried using memory leak detection software like
IBM's Purify but couldn't find the problem.
I also tried to disable the BSTR caching by setting the
environment variable OANOCACHE, but the memory of my program
continues to increase.
Below is my C++ code. The m_iflash object is a pointer to the
ActiveX of the flash player.
wstring CZFlash::CallFunction(wstring call_string)
BSTR pcall_string = SysAllocString(call_string.c_str());
BSTR presponse = NULL;
HRESULT status = m_iflash->CallFunction(pcall_string,
&presponse);
SysFreeString(pcall_string);
if (status != S_OK)
if (presponse != NULL)
SysFreeString(presponse);
return L"";
wstring sresponse(presponse);
SysFreeString(presponse);
return sresponse;
Currently the swf movie contains only action script that
displays the System.totalMemory value and an empty function that
the external interface calls.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
AmitHello,
Thanks for coming to National Instruments Discussion Forum.
Can you give us more details about your application? Basically, I can’t find your main VI for your User Interface. Can you also give us the different steps to do to run your application and reproduce your problem?
Generally speaking, your code on your block diagram have to be displayable in one screen.

SAP B1 2007A PL05 on 64 bit OS & SQL2005 Interfaces don't work
We have installed SAP B1 2007 PL05 on 64 bit windows with 64 bit SQL2005 SP2.
We have an interface to a Warehouse management system (Radio Beacon) and a custom interface to a legacy system. The interfaces don't work. We can not connect to the DIAPI and get the following:
Error Retrieving COM class factory for component with class CLSID {632F4591-AA62-4219-22BCF5F62007} failed due to the following error:80040154
<b>Action taken so far:</b>

I made a puzzle on a html5 canvas in Flash CC, and followed the exact steps of an online tutorial. The final product works in Firefox, but not in Chrome or Internet Explorer. What am I doing wrong?
Call up the Javascript Console in Chrome and see if it's showing error messages.
Also, you might try uploading it to a web server and viewing it from there (or turning Apache on locally). It may be a cross site security issue. -

1) Your JavaScript function name and the function name you
are calling
don't match.
2) On the Flex side, you are calling a JS function that I
think you are
expecting to return a value, but not assigning the result of
the value to a
function. -
Using AS2 to Call JavaScript w/ External Interface: What Am I Doing Wrong?
I am trying to trigger a JavaScript fuction from inside a
Flash 8/AS2 movie created by my coworker. The JS function is called
disappear(), which is meant to close the DIV that contains the
flash movie itself.
I know the JS works in all my target browsers - it's been
tested already. Now I need working ActionScript. The ActionScript
I've been studying is 3.0 so the fact that this task must be
accomplished in AS2 makes it that much harder for me; I know very
little about the way Flash Virtual Machine 1 works so I don't know
where to begin with the code.
I would like to implement this one of two ways:
Preferred Method: I'd like to create an AS file that I can
send to my coworker for inclusion in his FLA along with any code
necessary for linking the button instance to the class in the AS
file (don't think code is necessary; linkage done during
right-click on library panel, right?)
Alternative Method: I'd like to send my coworker text that he
can simply drop into the first frame in the movie to make it go.
I started out trying to call the javascript with on(press) {
getURL("avascript:myFunction"); }, which worked in Firefox but not
in IE6 or 7. Then I read over the tutorial here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/external_interface_print.html
and switched to using ExternalInterface.call() instead. That's
where I am now. My brain is hurting trying to dig up answers for
AS2 without reference materials... You are my best hope.
Please help me make sense of this ActionScript 2.0 code with
one of the prefered methods above. I am away from my copy of Flash
8 - I'm using FlashDevelop here at work - so I'd appeciate if you
could test any suggestions you make before you make them - unless
you are a Flash genius who I should not be questioning :) I've
provided the HTML/JS code; all you have to do is make a 500x300 SWF
and put a button instance in it.

Old computer (with iTunes library) + external hard drive (with iTunes music) work just fine.
New computer -- iTunes library copied from old computer, iTunes music folder identified in iTunes, but iTunes can't find the music.

And if so, what would be the best way to approach this?
