ExternalInterface call from flash to Javascript OOP object

This is my problem:

I have this class in JavaScript:

var c = new MyClass();
c.myFunction();
c.myFunction2();
c.myFunction3();
//and so on...

How can I reference this with ExternalInterface.call?

I can't do this: ExternalInterface.call("c.myFunction"));

Publish it to a server and call the html page that way.
ExternalInterface has issues when running in the flex project file system.
Mostlikely its an embed/crossdomain issue.

In order for this to work, the object you are trying to call from Flash needs to have global scope. I.e., this will not work:

// closure to keep vars out of global scope - generally a good thing!
(function() {
    var c;

    function MyClass() {
    }
    MyClass.prototype.myFunction = function() {
        alert('Do something!');
    }

    c = new MyClass();
})();

... meanwhile, in Flash ...

ExternalInterface.call("c.myFunction");

What you need is a global entry-point for the object. What errors are you getting, though? Are you getting null back from the call? Is any specific Error being thrown?

Yes, you can (do this: ExternalInterface.call("c.myFunction")).
