Question

C# to Actionscript function call, externalinterface callfunction silent fail

Hi,

I'm trying to call an Actionscript 3 function exposed using externalinterface.addcallback from C# using callfunction(). When I use the XML API, it returned </invalid>. I tried using some code I found for Externalinterfaceproxy class on Google but it also is unresponsive.

I've tried adding the .swf to Flash Player's global security settings, no change. Within Actionscript the functions are called successfully. Externalinterface.available is true. AllowScriptAccess is set to "always" for the C# axshockwaveflash control.

Any idea what's missing? Can anyone point to working example code of C# -> Actionscript 3 function calls? Is there any procedure for troubleshooting the externalinterface API?

Thanks,

Alex

Anybody?

Is there any well-documented method of calling Actionscript 3 functions from C#?

The last time that I had to do something like that, I needed to use VBScript on the html page to "go-between" the C# and Actionscript. You can use ExternalInterface to communicate with VBScript.

Thanks for the reply. This is for a desktop Windows application; I'm using an axShockwaveFlash control in a Windows Form so there's no HTML page in between.
