ExternalInterface.call always returns undefined in IE8@Windows7
Hello,
I have simple function in javascript on the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
var sound_status = true;
function get_sound_status()
{
//alert("sound_status = " + sound_status);
console.info("index.html::get_sound_status() = %s", sound_status);
return sound_status;
}
</script>
I call it from ActionScript via ExternalInterface.call("get_sound_status") and it works perfectly everywhere except IE8@Windows7 (IE8@WinXP works fine).
It always returns undefined UNTIL(!) 'Tools->Developer Tools' window is opened. It's enough to open and close it immediately.
If uncomment alert() I see the message 'sound_status = true', but in AS I have undefined.
The code embeding the swf is
NOTE: ${stuff} is replaced with actual values while publishing:
| var params = {}; | ||
| params.quality = "high"; | ||
| params.bgcolor = "${bgcolor}"; | ||
| params.allowscriptaccess = "sameDomain"; | ||
| params.allowFullScreen = "true"; | ||
| params.wmode = "transparent"; |
| var attributes = {}; | ||
| attributes.id = "${application}"; | ||
| attributes.name = "${application}"; | ||
| attributes.align = "middle"; |
| swfobject.embedSWF( | |||
| "${swf}.swf", "flashContent", | |||
| "${width}", "${height}", | |||
| swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, | |||
| flashvars, params, attributes); |
I looked into similar posts. Most of them advise check the existance of id attribute. It's here.
Thanx in advance, any help is really appreciated.
