Flash/ExternalInterface does not work in IE if movie is fetched via
Wicket/Ajax
Hi,
This example demonstrates that ExternalInterface fails with IE only if movie is fetched via Wicket/Ajax.
ajaxtest.zip:
(http://download.syncrontech.com/public/ajaxtest.zip)
Page "first.html" fetches "second.html" page via Ajax. Second.html has Flash movie
that calls JavaScript methods with ExternalInterface and produces output
"Start..."
"ExternalInterface.available:true"
"ExternalInterface.objectID:testId"
"fromJs:text from js (first.html)"
This works both FF 3.5 and IE 7/IE8
quickstart_noname.zip:
(http://download.syncrontech.com/public/quickstart_noname.zip)
Same demonstration with wicket. This fails with IE
"Start..."
"ExternalInterface.available:true"
"ExternalInterface.objectID:null"
"fromJs:null"
ObjectId is null and JavaScript call does not return any value.
We are aware about EI/IE problems in past, but any of those does not seem to fit here.
Wicket 1.4.1, Flash Player 10, IE 7/8, FF 3.5
Has anyone encountered any similar behavior and/or has found any workaround?
Should I create a Jira issue?

Hi,
can you create jira issue with problem description? The code indeed
looks wrong I can fix it once the issue is created.

Well, it's not exactly wrong. Looks like an IE quirk to me. But I
suppose we can just move the element anyway.

RE: Flash/ExternalInterface does not work in IE if movie is fetched
via Wicket/Ajax
Posted by Heikki Uotinen <He...@syncrontech.com>.
There is a "bug" in wicket-ajax.js:268 (1.4.1) that breaks IE+Flash/ExternalInterface:
// place all newly created elements before the old element
while(tempParent.childNodes.length > 0) {
var tempElement = tempParent.childNodes[0];
>>>>> tempParent.removeChild(tempElement); <<<<<
parent.insertBefore(tempElement, element);
tempElement = null;
}
Calling removeChild is not needed because insertBefore moves element from its original place.
If you remove "removeChild" line and check "tempParent.childNodes.length" you can see that it is
decreased by one after "insertBefore".
This "removeChild" breaks Flash/ExternalInterface in IE. If "removeChild" is removed then everything
works fine. IE is more strict here than other browsers.
Demonstration is still at (there is no need for Flash CS4 to test this)

Could someone confirm this and suggest how to proceed ?

There is a problem with IE/ExternalInterface if movie is added to DOM f.ex appendChild
JavaScript functions are called but they do not return any value.
This is clearly MS problem but could IE specific function in wicket-ajax.js be adjusted somehow ?

Hi,
This example demonstrates that ExternalInterface fails with IE only if movie is fetched via Wicket/Ajax.
ajaxtest.zip:
(http://download.syncrontech.com/public/ajaxtest.zip)
Page "first.html" fetches "second.html" page via Ajax. Second.html has Flash movie
that calls JavaScript methods with ExternalInterface and produces output
"Start..."
"ExternalInterface.available:true"
"ExternalInterface.objectID:testId"
"fromJs:text from js (first.html)"
This works both FF 3.5 and IE 7/IE8
quickstart_noname.zip:
(http://download.syncrontech.com/public/quickstart_noname.zip)
Same demonstration with wicket. This fails with IE
"Start..."
"ExternalInterface.available:true"
"ExternalInterface.objectID:null"
"fromJs:null"
ObjectId is null and JavaScript call does not return any value.
We are aware about EI/IE problems in past, but any of those does not seem to fit here.
Wicket 1.4.1, Flash Player 10, IE 7/8, FF 3.5
Has anyone encountered any similar behavior and/or has found any workaround?
