Question

I’m trying to call a jQuery function from my flash file, when clicking on a button.
I’ve tryed to search around stackoverflow and google with similar problems however i cannot resolve this.

FYI, i tested this both locally and online with no results.

Actionscript 3.0 call:

    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

    open_mc.buttonMode = true;
    open_mc.useHandCursor = true;

    open_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickFunc);
    function ClickFunc(evt:MouseEvent):void
    {
    ExternalInterface.call("openContainer", "open_god_dammit");
    }

jQuery:

    $(document).ready(function() {

        $("#eas_sidekick_container").hide();
        $("#eas_sidekick_container").css('width', '0px');

        function openContainer(open_god_dammit)
        {
            $("#eas_sidekick_container").show();
            $("#eas_sidekick_container").animate({
                width: '850px'              
            });
            $('html, body').animate({
                scrollLeft: '850'
            });
        }   
    });

Your openContainer function should be outside the inner jQuery function:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#eas_sidekick_container").hide();
    $("#eas_sidekick_container").css('width', '0px');

});

function openContainer(open_god_dammit)
{
    $("#eas_sidekick_container").show();
    $("#eas_sidekick_container").animate({
        width: '850px'              
    });
    $('html, body').animate({
        scrollLeft: '850'
    });
}
