JavaScript calling AS3 error

Question

I'm trying to have my HTML page call my functions in my AS3 but my JavaScript keeps saying not a function. My SWF is on the same domain.

AS3:

public function Client() {
        ExternalInterface.call('flashReady');
        if (ExternalInterface.available) {
            //ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionScript", receivedFromJavaScript);
            ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsPlayStream", onPlayStreamHandler); //FLV.play()
            ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsStopStream", onStopStreamHandler); //FLV.stop()
            ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsSoundStream", onSoundHandler); ////FLV.volume(0 - 1)
        }
}

private function onPlayStreamHandler(value:String):void {
    flvPlayer.play();
}

private function onStopStreamHandler(value:String):void {
    flvPlayer.stop();
}

private function onSoundHandler(value:Boolean):void {
    if (value == true) {
        flvPlayer.volume = 1;
    } else {
        flvPlayer.volume = 0;
    }
}

JS Code:

$("#vidPlay").click(function () {
    if (bFlashReady == true) {
        thisMovie("Client").jsPlayStream("play");
     }
});

$("#vidPause").click(function () {
    if (bFlashReady == true) {
        thisMovie("Client").jsStopStream("stop");
    }
});

$("#vidSoundOn").click(function () {
    if (bFlashReady == true) {
        thisMovie("Client").jsSoundStream(true);
    }
});

$("#vidSoundOff").click(function () {
    if (bFlashReady == true) {
        thisMovie("Client").jsSoundStream(false);
    }
});

function thisMovie(movieName) {
    if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
        return window[movieName];
    } else {
        return document[movieName];
    }
}

HTML:

           <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="222" height="174" id="Client" align="middle">

                    <param name="wmode" value="window" />
                    <param name="scale" value="showall" />
                    <param name="menu" value="true" />
                    <param name="devicefont" value="false" />
                    <param name="salign" value="" />
                    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
                <!--<![endif]-->

You should use document.getElementById() to locate your Flash objects. That will work on all browsers. — Pointy

Where is your "flashReady" function declared in your javascript? — ToddBFisher

I think that your code that finds your Flash objects could be simplified (and, probably, fixed) by making it use document.getElementById().

function thisMovie( movieName ) {
    return document.getElementById( movieName );
}
