Actionscript 3, JQuery SWF Object plugin and ExternalInterface problem

I'm trying to write a simple flash mp3 player while using JQuery and it's SWF Object plugin. I'm adding an swf to the page using this code:

$("body").append("<div id='player_external' style='position:absolute;top:0;left:0;height:1px;width:1px;'></div>");
$('#player_external').flash({swf:"player_external.swf",wmode:"transparent",height:1,width:1,AllowScriptAccess:"always"});

The player should be invisible one-pixel object that interacts with javascript. When i'm calling javascript functions from within flash objects (using ExternalInterface.call()) it works fine.

But when i try to call ActionScript function from JavaScript nothing happens. I have added a callback function like this:

ExternalInterface.addCallback("MyFunc",MyFunc);

And I've tried all possible ways I've found on the internet. Like:

$('#player_external').context.MyFunc();
$('#player_external').flash("MyFunc()"); //this just crashes browser!

Also, the solution found here: How can I call an Actionscript function when the .swf is referenced by jQuery? doesn't help. I gave up my hope on this. Maybe it's better to use flash without JQuery's help. But there just should be some way to do this.

Thanks.

Using $('#myContent').get(0).method() works for me. Using array reference to get the first item also works: $('#myContent')[0].method()

I'm using 'dynamic' swfobject injection.

Just append an id paramter, so you can access the Flash object directly:

$('#my_container').flash({
    swf: 'swf/test.swf',
    width: 740,
    height: 110,
    wmode: 'transparent',
    allowScriptAccess:'always',
    id:'my_flash',
    flashvars: {}
});

// Use document.getElementById NOT $("#my_flash") 
document.getElementById("my_flash").myInternalFlashFuctionName('Foo');

Try $('#player_external').get(0).MyFunc();
