I can call JS functions with ExternalInterface.call('func_name',.args) . OK But what if I would like to call a js class instance method instead? ExternalInterface.call('obj.method_name',.args) //this seems not to work Is there any way of doing it? Luca It was only a matter of scope. You must instantiated the swf object outside the js class. Then I can reference it in ExternalInterface.call() . window.addEvent('domready',function(){ swf = new Swiff('../files/swf/italy.swf',{ id:'italy', container:'italy-flash', width:280, height:323, params:{ bgcolor:'#ffffff', wmode:'opaque', allowScriptAccess

I read limited (small - 15 - 500 mb files). I need to be able to put all file bytes into one single bytearray. So I have a function: [Bindable] public var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray; //.... code ....// protected function fileOpenSelected(event:Event):void { currentFile = event.target as File; stream = new FileStream(); stream.openAsync(currentFile, FileMode.READ); stream.readBytes(ba); stream.close(); MyFunction(ba); } But it does not work=( - gives me Error: Error #2030: End of file was encountered. How to get a full bytearray from stream to use it as normal bytearray? isn't the point of a

Is there a way to make synchronous calls using RemoteObject in Flex? James Ward All IO in Flex is asynchronous. The typical pattern to deal with this is to use an AsyncResponder . For instance: var t:AsyncToken = remoteObject.methodCall(); t.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(resultEvent, faultEvent)); think twice when u want it to be synchronous. Do u know what synchronous mean? it will FREEZE your application until it receive data. Unless u are pretty sure that your remote calling can receive return value immediately (super fast network connection). if your function call depends on each other,

I have: an ArrayCollection of Numbers; a List using the above ArrayCollection as it's dataprovider, and virtualLayout=true; a custom ItemRenderer that shows a label with: a) the number b) an y position depending on the number AND the highest number visible In another words, if I have 10 numbers in the AC, and only 5 appear on the screen, the y position of those 5 will depend on the value of the maximum number for those 5. When the user scrolls, of course those 5 elements change so the position of the label in item renderers will change. My questions: 1) How can I get the list of items that are

I'm looking for advice on how to dynamically create content in flash based on a database. Initially I was thinking that we would export the database to an XML file and use the built in Actionscript XML parser to take care of that, however the size of the XML file may prove prohibitive. I have read about using an intermediary step (PHP, ASP) to retrieve information and pass it back as something that Actionscript can read, but I would prefer not to do that if possible. Has anyone worked with the asSQL libraries before? Or is there something else that I am missing? Unless you're running your

I'm developing an application and because of certain design restrictions I have to do it in Flash. This application communicates with another one done in c++, but just because I need a couple strings, so I thought it would be easy to write them to a .txt file and parse it. But the only way I've found so far is adding a browse event handler and select the file manually. That's no good for me, I need the file to be read automatically given a path, something like: var data:ByteArray = fileRef['C:\whateverPath']; var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.loadBytes(data); Can this even be done?
