as3 calling jQuery function

Question

I need flash to talk to jQuery.

Here is my Flash code:

if (ExternalInterface.available) 
{
 ExternalInterface.call('function(){ MyFunction(); }');
ExternalInterface.call('function(){ alert("Praise Be Jesus Christ!"); }');
}

The "Alert" works great. My function does not.

Here is my jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">

  $(document).ready(function()
  { 
  $("#flashContentABOVE").click(MyFunction);



  function MyFunction()
  {
            $("#flashContentABOVE").css("z-index", 4 );

  }

  });
</script>

Try placing it outside the ready function.

Put your <script> tag at the bottom of your html file (before the closing <body>), and take out the document.ready() function.

Awesome! That's it! I can't even click "That's correct" yet since you answered so fast. Thank you. I will check it soon. Are you sure removing the document.ready() function won't give me issues elsewhere? What is the purpose of it?

document.ready() catches an event that's fired when the DOM is loaded and ready to be manipulated. Since we've put the script tag at the bottom of the page, we already know for sure that the browser has loaded the elements above.

You should be able to call MyFunction directly from your swf. I always call ExternalInterface like:

ExternalInterface.call("funcName","param1","param2");
