Flash/JavaScript communication problem ... scope?

[andrewbadera]

JavaScript SetVariable and GetVariable seem to work fine, but ActionScript within the Flash object doesn't seem to be seeing the variables update ...

JavaScript:

function test_doFSCommand(command, args) { 
//ie window.testObject nn window.document.testObject
	var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
	var testObj = InternetExplorer ? test : document.test;

	//alert("fscommand - " + command + ": " + args);
	if ( command=="show" ) { 
		alert(args);
	} else if (command == "setlocal") {
		alert("javascript - SetVariable(varLocal, " + args + ")");
		testObj.SetVariable("varLocal", args);
		alert("javascript - GetVariable(varLocal): " + testObj.GetVariable("varLocal"));
	} else if (command == "setglobal") {
		alert("javascript - SetVariable(varGlobal, " + args + ")");
		testObj.SetVariable("varGlobal", args);
		alert("javascript - GetVariable(varGlobal): " + testObj.GetVariable("varGlobal"));
	}
 }

ActionScript:

var varLocal = -1;
fscommand("show", "flash - varLocal: " + varLocal);
fscommand("setlocal", 1);
fscommand("show", "flash - varLocal: " + varLocal);

_global.varGlobal = -2;
fscommand("show", "flash - varGlobal: " + varGlobal);
fscommand("setglobal", 2);
fscommand("show", "flash - varGlobal: " + varGlobal);

stop();
