hi, im trying to use the ExternalInterface to display the test in swf from html.

i use jquery

$(’#test’)[0].sendToFlash($(’#input’).val());

where #test is the id of the flash movieclip;

in flash.

ExternalInterface.addCallback(“sendToFlash”, fromJS);

and fromJS just displays the text passed from the html into the textfield.

its working fine in IE, Chrome, Safari but not working on Firefox.

any idea?
