Calling JavaScript from ActionScript

NitinSawant · #1 May 19th, 2009, 02:28 AM

Hello,
I'm beginner to actionscript, I've defined following function in script tag of page

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <script type="text/javascript">

function showMessage(){

        alert("javascript says: Hello ActionScript");

}

</script>

i want to call it from actionscript,

what i've already wrote is:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
 
on (press) {

    //mx.controls.Alert.show("Hello, world!");

    ExternalInterface.call("showMessage()");

}

neither it shows the alert, nor calls the showMessage function,

reply

Don't you mean ExternalInterface.call("showMessage") instead of ExternalInterface.call("showMessage()") ?
