Javascript: calling javaScript function from flash (swfObject)?

Question

let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something.

So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item.

So issue is ?

If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine.

but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error .

so i just wanna ask that

"does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??

How about providing us with some code, and what that "some flash error" is? — Jan Hančič

You can wrap the JavaScript you want to execute in an anonymous function that you declare and call from ActionScript, like this:

ExternalInterface.call("function() { data.closeItem(); }");

It may seem a bit odd that the function gets called, executed, with the above syntax, it does, but if you prefer you could make the declaration and separate call more explicit, like this:

ExternalInterface.call("(function() { data.closeItem(); })()");

Short answer (iirc); "yes".

It might be possible to get around by calling

ExternalInterface.call("eval", "data.closeItem()")
