Hi Myke,

In my actionscript, I have :
proxy.call(“myjsfunction”,mytext);

when the length of mytext is more than 480 chars, the call doesen’t work.

What is the maximum length for an argument when calling a javascript function from actioscript ?
Can I change it somewhere in the sources ?

Thanks a lot for that product…
Laurent.

Mike,
Thought you might like to check out an implementation of the JavaScript -> Flash:

Sorry Mike i’m certainly a stupid guy but when i include your code (actionscript part) in flash and want to test syntax…
Flash, say it enable to include a class like that, have put in an external .as file.
if i do that how to call the class ?
yes i know this is certainly very easy for your guru level, but not for mine…. ;(

please give us a .fla file or a zip file or a better tutorial ;) (sorry for that).

best regard

and great job when it’ll work for me.

No worries – I’m good at catching stuff like that. In fact I’d make a great Flash beta tester ;-)

yeah I’m not funny!

Good catch. I just updated it and corrected the error.

In your code example for broadcasting an event – you have in the Class MyClass

//declare EventDispatcher functions
private function dispatchEvent;
public function addEventListener;
public function removeEventListener;

shouldn’t that be

private var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;

Hello Mike,
do you think will be possible a Flash/Javascript synchronous communication in the future? Thanks.
