SWFObject and Alternate Run/Debug Settings: Can't hear any events? #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Rails project, Flex and Restfulx
1. Change Run/Debug settings from "default", which is localhost:3000/bin-
debug/MyProject.html, to just localhost:3000/, where it will find the rails 
index.html page.
2. Add event listener (either with JSInterface.window.onresize, or 
JSInterface.window.addEventListener("onresize"...)).
3. No event ever being heard.  I've tried these, focus events, keyboard events, 
etc.  They're not 
working.  I am able to set the browser title, so I know there is some 
connection...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should be able to hear the events.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest and greatest.  Mac 10.5.8.  Safari.

Please provide any additional information below.
Here is the index.html file I am using.  There is a ruby block in there for the 
swfobject:

<html>
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="history/history.css" />
        <title>Joseph Jewell</title>
        <!--
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

        <meta name="language" content="en" />

        <meta name="keywords" content="" />
        <style>
            body { margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; }
            #flashContent { margin:0px auto; width:100%; text-align:left; }
        </style>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /><!-- added! -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/swfobject.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/history/history.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/swfaddress.js"></script>

    <%= swfobject("/bin-debug/MyProject.swf",
        {:params => {
            :menu => false,
            :scale => "noScale",
            :allowFullscreen => true,
            :allowScriptAccess => "sameDomain",
            :bgcolor => "#f0aaaa"},
        :attributes => {
            :id => "MyProject"
        }}) %>

    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="flashContent">
            <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img 
src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" 
alt="Get

        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Any thoughts on the problem?

If I copy-paste that code from where it originally was (in 
app/views/flex/index.html, while the main app is in 
app/flex, not app/views...), then it works!  But that doesn't solve my problem 
because I need it where it was...  
What might this be?  Changing it from "app/views/flex/index.html" to 
"bin-debug/MyProject.html" made it 
work, even with the Run/Debug settings changed as described above.

Is this a bug or is there a solution?

Hi!
Can you create test project and post it?

Original comment by burd...@gmail.com on 2 Dec 2009 at 12:13

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It's a bit too complicated to post a test... It's a Rails project with lots of 
dependencies on other libraries and 
I'm not sure you have all that set up.  If you do, I'll send it over.

My question is, how does jsinterface integrate with swfobject, and does 
swfaddress compete with it for 
methods?  What methods/properties/overrides are they (jsinterface/swfobject) 
relating on?  And second, what 
is happening when I change the Run/Debug settings?  Is JSInterface dependent on 
a specific Run/Debug 
setting in Flex?  How can I start debugging the javascript to see if it's 
interacting with jsinterface properly?

My project is working fine with the way all the settings are, and with the 
index.html file being dynamically 
generated from rails.  How/where is JSInterface interacting with this?  It 
seems like it should just work but I 
must be missing something.  What are some things I might be missing?

Thanks so much for your help.
Lance

Can you select only JSInerface code for test?

JSInterface did not interact, and in no way connected with SWFObject and 
SWFAddress.
Ofcourse if you did not this interaction by yourself. Firstly you need to look 
into 
generated HTML and verify is ID correctly added to all <object> tags.

No, JSInterface only need to be run under HTTP to work as expected. If you will 
run 
it locally, Browser can disable interaction.

Try JSInterface debug properties:

JSInterface.redirectJavaScriptExceptions
JSInterface.traceExceptionOnly
JSInterface.exceptionHandler
JSInterface.redirectFlashExceptions

Read ASDoc for more info. For example, if you need to debug JavaScript in 
FireBug 
for example, try
JSInterface.redirectJavaScriptExceptions = false;

what is that <object> and ID part?  What exactly do I need to make sure is 
happening?

Thanks for the info on the exception redirects. I'll try that out.

<object> & <embed> - tags generated with SWFObject to show flash movie on HTML 
page.
All such tags generated by SWFObject need to have ID attribute with the same 
value. 
this ID will be used by JSInterface to detect DOM object of current Flash 
player to 
do two sided interaction.
If HTML code have no ID, JSInterface can use Flash movie URL to find that DOM 
object. More about that you can read in ASDoc of JSInerface.initialize() method 
and 
in documentation.

It doesn't look like the object/embed tags are there.  Is this correct?  I 
think this looks just like your 
JSInterfaceSWObjectTest example.  I've read through most of your code these 
past few weeks, but I still don't 
see where this problem is.  Any other thoughts?

If I add this in actionscript:

        protected function addEventListenerTest():void{
            this._originalAddEventListener = 
JSDynamic.convertFunctionToObject(JSInterface.window.addEventListener);
    JSInterface.window.addEventListener = this.javaScriptAddEventListener;
}
protected var _originalAddEventListener:JSDynamic;
protected function javaScriptAddEventListener(...args):void{
    trace('addEventListener: '+args);
    this._originalAddEventListener.apply(JSInterface.window, args);
}

.. it traces out this:

{JavaScript} Undefined value
Target object: [[object Object]] property: [addEventListener]
Stack trace: null

{JavaScript} Undefined value
Target object: [[object Object]] property: [addEventListener]
Stack trace: null

Alright :).  I boiled it down to a very basic project.  It has a swfobject.js 
file, a very basic html file, and a simple 
flex application.  It traces out the same null results and doesn't hear events. 
 It must be how 
swfobject/jsinterface interact.  Any thoughts?

Still haven't resolved the issue.  Have you verified that this doesn't work?

file:///Users/Lance/Documents....
btw, do not run JSInterface applications locally, only over HTTP.

Original comment by burd...@gmail.com on 4 Dec 2009 at 11:20

It seems to work identically either way.  This sample project works locally, 
but I get the same errors in that Rails 
project I was describing, which is over HTTP.

1. try to setup name and id with SWFObject:
        var params = {
            name:"flashId"
        };
        var attributes = {
            name:"flashId"
            id:"flashId"
        };
2. trace generated HTML
        trace(JSInterface.main);
        trace(JSInterface.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML);
        trace(JSInterface.main.parentNode.innerHTML);
3. I have found error in your test code:
                JSInterface.window.addEventListener("resize", 
function(e:*):void
                {
                    trace(e);
                });
you forgot to add third argument. In new version of JSInterface 2.4.4 i have 
changed 
error format, so now you will see what exactly is wrong.
