Not Triggering Firefox ExternalInterface Callback about react-swf

[syranide]

I have a project myself in which I rely heavily on ExternalInterface and it works across all browsers, including FireFox, and there is no special code in ReactSWF for ExternalInterface other than getFPDOMNode() for returning a reference to the actual node.

So all I can really say at this point is that it's probably something on your end... perhaps you could check that ExternalInterface.available really is true? Could it be that you're adding the callbacks before Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE has occured?

Alright, I'll see if I can pull the SWF source and try debugging it. I know that the SWF works in Firefox from here: http://www.flashls.org/latest/examples/chromeless/ but it seems to be using the old <object><embed /></object> style of adding flash embeds.

😡 so it seems that Firefox doesn't like loading flash files from localhost. I deployed to our development server and it loads just fine.

Sorry for the false alarm

No problem :)

You may be able to work around that in the SWF by allowing script requests from all hosts (*) via some system function somewhere. But I'm not entirely sure.
