Help with calling a Javascript function

**Steven** · 3rd August 2010, 07:55 PM

Hi All,

I've finally got one of my games sponsored on FGL and the sponsor is asking for me to call a javascript function that is defined in the PHP file that the SWF will sit on. How would I do this?

One of the functions is called PlayStart(). I've tried using the Flash Object and using Javascript -> Call Function and the "PlayStart()" and also "PlayStart" but this doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

The test function that i've been asked to test it with in <head> looks like this:-

Code:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
function PlayStart(){
         alert(“play start button clicked”);
      }
</script>

Thanks,

Steve

That sounds like it should work... I've been able to call Javascript functions before (and to my memory, you do it without the brackets). Are you clearing any previously used parameters out before you call the function? That's about all I can think of.

Hmmm i'm not setting any parameters anywhere at all in the game, so that shouldn't be the problem. Do I need to set any parameters?

Have you tried testing the HTML and Flash files online? Flash has trouble running Javascript functions from a local PC for security reasons.

Yep tried that last night as well

Could you give us a link so we can test it ourselves?

Test page - http://www.steveharris.info/shellshock/test.html

MFA is attached.

The first thing I saw is that none of the JS functions are defined in your test html file.

There is no javascript in your test page?
