Trigger javascript functions from Flash

Posted under » Flash » JavaScript on 13 March 2009

First you're going to need to put your javascript function between the head tags of your document. For this example, I've used the following function:

function myfunction() {
   alert("This function was successfully triggered via the flash movie.");
}

In HTML, you can trigger it by putting something like below.

Trigger the alert

In Flash, it is about the same.

Here is an example to trigger javascript using AS2.

getURL("javascript:myfunction();");

In AS3 however, it is more tedious. You can look here from the source.
