I am also seeing a similar issue in Edge. FF, Chrome, and IE are all behaving.

To answer your other post different question:

ExternalInterface working is just down to Flash Player, and whether you made the SWF with Animate or Flash Pro won't make a difference.

What goes wrong when trying with the Edge browser?

I am trying to use ExternalInterface with my AS3.0 app to pass data back to my HTML page upon the completion of a video. I manage to get this working on Chrome, but with Microsoft Edge it just doesn't happen.

Im trying to write a webpage that integrates with a flash file I made. I managed to get it working with chrome, but with Edge the feature doesn't work. The flash file uses a method to call a JavaScript function that is supposed to change the style of two divs, but it just doesn't work on edge..

     <script>  function JsTestFunction( myFlashValue ) { document.getElementById("flashContent").style.display = "none"; document.getElementById("fiveContent").style.display = "block";  }  </script>    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This part is the flash part, it works with chrome ----------------------------------------------------------------------------  import flash.external.ExternalInterface;  // by querying the LoaderInfo object, set the value of paramObj to the // to the value of the variable named myVariable passed from FlashVArs in the HTML var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.myVariable;   ExternalInterface.call('alert','hello world');  // set the text of the text instance named text1. Use the toString() method  var myVideo:Video = new Video(); addChild(myVideo); var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); myVideo.attachNetStream(ns);  ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, doNetStatus); ns.play(paramObj.toString());    function doNetStatus(e:NetStatusEvent):void { switch (e.info.code) { case "NetStream.Play.Stop" ://Playback has stopped. ExternalInterface.call('JsTestFunction','The_String');  case "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" : ExternalInterface.call('JsTestFunction','The_String');   } }

Help.

To make things simple, let's start with getting an alert("TEST"); working on Edge, I have that working on chrome by doing this...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</script>

</head>

<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>

And the AS3.0

ExternalInterface.call("Test");

^

Doesn't work on Edge.
