[jira] Commented: (SHINDIG-723) AS3 ExternalInterface methods inactive in IE when using Flash embedding

["Henning Schmiedehausen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-723?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12652516#action_12652516 ] 

Henning Schmiedehausen commented on SHINDIG-723:
------------------------------------------------

I understand the reason for this but I honestly don't like the "q'n'd" implementation. If we need an id on that object, we should generate it in a predictable (and controllable) way. 

This is bound to be the reason for "uh, in a very few cases, my flash content does not render right; when I reload it's gone" bug reports in the future.

+1 to fixing this. -1 to the patch.

> ActionScript 3's ExternalInterface methods (e.g. ExternalInterface.call()) do not appear to be working in Internet Explorer 6 or 7--a JavaScript error occurs when they're called.
> The root cause of this was traced back to the lack of an 'id' attribute on the <object> tag used to embed the Flash content in Internet Explorer. We need to add in a unique 'id' attribute to the <object> tag to ensure proper functionality.
> (This bug externally reported)
