I experience following problem: - I am loading the content (object/embed definition) via a script with AJAX - I am then pasting the result with JQuery's function html() into an element in the HTML DOM - What happens now, is that I can call JS from AS, but every call from JS to AS results in an error that the object doesn't support this method or attribute (this happens only in IE browsers 6,7,8. Firefox works). Do you have an idea how to solve this problem? Hi Peter,

I experience following problem:
- I am loading the content (object/embed definition) via a script with AJAX
- I am then pasting the result with JQuery’s function html() into an element in the HTML DOM
- What happens now, is that I can call JS from AS, but every call from JS to AS results in an error that the object doesn’t support this method or attribute (this happens only in IE browsers 6,7,8. Firefox works).

Do you have an idea how to solve this problem?

So I downloaded your exact main.html, externalInterface.js and AC_OETags.js files, and then it worked for me in IE6 but not firefox. So that drove me batty for a while. But I finally figured out that it was because I was running it from my desktop. Running it from my apache server it works in both. Thanks for your help! I appreciate it a lot, and just in case anyone else runs into the same problems, it looks like you have to be running from a server to get it to work consistently.
