Speaking with JavaScript

    With ActionSpeak any JavaScript function can be called from ActionScript, and any ActionScript function can be called from JavaScript. Additionally, any variable can be get or set from either language to the other. To allow this, you must Install ActionSpeak™ into the Flash Movie.

Calling JavaScript from ActionScript  

    The ActionSpeak.CallJavaScript(expression) function not only executes the JavaScript – but returns the return value back to ActionScript. For security reasons – this only works when running in the context of an ASP.NET website.

Calling a JavaScript function in ActionScript

[ActionScript] //Calling a JavaScript function, and returning its value to Flash. var returnValue = ActionSpeak.CallJavaScript("confirm('Hello World');");

 

Setting a JavaScript variable in ActionScript

[ActionScript] //Setting a JavaScript variable in the web-page. ActionSpeak.CallJavaScript("anyVaraible = 45;");

 

Returning a JavaScript variable to ActionScript

[ActionScript] //returning the value of a JavaScript variable to ActionScript. var returnValue = ActionSpeak.CallJavaScript("anyVaraible");

Calling ActionScript from JavaScript
