jquery - How do you trigger javascript functions from flash?

Question

How do you trigger a javascript function using actionscript in flash?

The goal is to trigger jQuery functionality from a flash movie

Answer 1

Take a look at the ExternalInterface-Class.
From the AS3-Language Reference:

The ExternalInterface class is the External API, an application programming interface that enables straightforward communication between ActionScript and the Flash Player container– for example, an HTML page with JavaScript. Adobe recommends using ExternalInterface for all JavaScript-ActionScript communication.

And it's work like this:

ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionScript", receivedFromJavaScript);
ExternalInterface.call("sendToJavaScript", input.text);

You can submit parameters and recieve callbacks...pretty cool, right? ;)

As I know it will also work on AS2...
