The "import" keyword must be all lower case, and make sure you're using straight quotation marks. Be careful of syntax — you can’t just copy and paste this code.

It is referring to the call line (in my case it is flashMovie.goMC();) the script is below: // callResult gets the value "busy signal" var flashMovie = thisMovie("tileAuto"); function thisMovie(movieName) { var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1; return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName]; } flashMovie.goMC(); Any reasons? thanks! I followed the code in the example, using my own id of course, and I keep getting a browser error in IE saying that the Object doesnt support this property of method. It is referring to the call line
(in my case it is flashMovie.goMC();)

the script is below:

// callResult gets the value “busy signal”
var flashMovie = thisMovie(“tileAuto”);

function thisMovie(movieName) {
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf(“Microsoft”) != -1;
return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
}

flashMovie.goMC();

Any reasons?

thanks!

The call just never happens. I'm using a construction like this to notify javascript of certain events, and the event doesn't arrive when the event occurs during a call that originated from a call to the ExternalInterface. If anyone has any way around this, tell me! :) I’ve been using ExternalInterface quite awhile now and have noticed that when you call an actionscript function from javascript, you cannot execute a call to javascript inside that actionscript function.
