ExternalInterface, swfObject 2, Firefox

programming flash
1

Wierd bug I’ve been scratching my head over for days. I have 2 frames (gross I know, but ther was no other choice). One has my html content and one has my swf. Internet Explorer is able to find the function I registered with ExternalInterface but Firefox can not and hits an error claming that “unpause_demo is not a function” Any ideas why?

Actionscript:


var methodName:String = "unpause_demo";
var instance:Object = this;
var method:Function = continue_demo;
ExternalInterface.addCallback(methodName, instance, method);

function continue_demo() {
	ns.pause(false);
}

html:
