I want to call an Action Script function from javascript. But also I need the ActionScript function to return a value to the javascript call.
This is what I want to accomplish.
/* JS CODE */
var str = getStringFromFlash();
alert(str);
getStringFromFlash should be a function defined in ActionScript that can return a value.
On the Flash side:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getValue", getValue);
Where getValue() is the function that returns the string.
Then on the JavaScript side:
var flashObject = document.getElementById("myFlashObject");
var str = flashObject.getValue();
alert(str);
See API documentation for the ExternalInterface class for a more complete example.
