Calling a JavaScript function from flash movie controls

I have a swf streaming an flv with the default controls from Flash. Is there a way to call a javascript function when the pause button is clicked? And then another when the play button is clicked?

Thanks for any ideas.

  1. Import the ExternalInterface library to your action script by using the line:

    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

    Note: without this line you will not be able to call the JavaScript function.

  2. Use this command to call the JavaScript function:

    ExternalInterface.call("pauseFunc", "");

  3. In your HTML page, add your JavaScript function:

    <script>
function pauseFunc() {
   doSomthing ...
}
</script>

The best way to do this is using ExternalInterface. Here's an example:

AS:

ExternalInterface.call("pauseFunction");

JS:

function pauseFunction() {
    alert("Called from ActionScript");
}

An easy way is on the button controls simply call 

getURL("javascript:yourFunction();");
