Use javascript to call actionscript

Hello krishna kiran,

thanks for the info on this. It is helpful indeed.
I am pushing for Captivate 4 even in light of "buget" cuts.

Would there be a way that I could use javascript on a captivate button (or object) that would call a function via the same process?

Yes.
1. Create a function (say myJSfunction )inside the html(that loads the final CP swf.).
2. Have the code to call the external interface function within myJSfunction.
3. Set the action of button to execte JS and just have the java script as "myJSfunction();"
4. Insert your code swfs on a captivate slide that will register the external callback function.

Now when you click the button myJSfunction gets called which will call the external callback function inside your code swf.

Also note that with CP4 you can publish directly to AS3 so you wont need to use the proxy any more.
