Question

I am trying to run a jQuery function on my HTML page from AS3.

This is my jQuery function:

function loadImage(imageNumber)   {     imageURL = '<img src='images/image' + imageNumber + '.jpg'>';     $('#imageBox').html(imageURL);   } 

Here are the settings of my flash file in the HTML page:

<param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#ffffff' />     <embed src='links.swf' quality='high' bgcolor='#ffffff' width='320' height='242' name='links' align='middle' allowScriptAccess='always' allowFullScreen='false' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer' /> 

and finally… here is the AS3 script in my .swf file:

function gotoImage1(e:MouseEvent):void {     var jscommand:String = 'loadImage(1);'     var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest('javascript:' + jscommand + '');     navigateToURL(link, '_self'); } 

Thankyou in advance for taking the time to look and any help is massively appreciated.

Kindest Regards.Tom

You can use ExternalInterface instead:

if (ExternalInterface.available) {     ExternalInterface.call('function(){ alert('test'); }'); }
