Javascript: calling javaScript function from flash (swfObject)?

let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something.

So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item.

So issue is ?

If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine.

but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error .

so i just wanna ask that

"does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??

You can wrap the JavaScript you want to execute in an anonymous function that you declare and call from ActionScript, like this:

ExternalInterface.call("function() { data.closeItem(); }");

It may seem a bit odd that the function gets called, executed, with the above syntax, it does, but if you prefer you could make the declaration and separate call more explicit, like this:

ExternalInterface.call("(function() { data.closeItem(); })()");

Short answer (iirc); "yes".

It might be possible to get around by calling

ExternalInterface.call("eval", "data.closeItem()")
