Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to call an external function on my Animate project.

this is the code I am using, but it seems like ExternalInterface. is not supported...

this.closeCTA.addEventListener("click", windowClose);

function windowClose(){

ExternalInterface.call("hideAnimation");

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Okay, there is no ExternalInterface in Canvas mode because there is no plugin to externally interface with. Published Canvas documents run as bare-metal JavaScript directly in the browser, just like all the other JavaScript programs on the web.

So if a JS function is defined outside of Animate in the global scope, to call it you just... call it:

hideAnimation();
