I recently ran into another issue with ExternalInterface, when sending multiple calls at once? What I am seeing is when multiple calls are made certain calls get dropped unless I use setTimeout and add a 50 millisecond delay? I know this was an issue with the getURL(”javascript: in previous versions but I thought ExternalInterface was suppose to fix the overloading and buffering issues found in some browsers. I have tested in both IE and Firefox to no avail. And what really upsets me is the fact that it works sometimes, it’s not consistent.Is this a known bug, has anyone seen any workarounds (other than my hack of course). It’s happening in both AS2 and AS3. I am using the ExternalInterface to communicate between AS2 and AS3 (AVM1 and AVM2). I know I can use LocalConnection, but that is not the answer I am looking for, I need to use ExternalInterface in this particular project.
P.S. Happy Vallentine’s Day, I got chocolate covered bugs from my secret admirer, the ExternalInterface.

Hi there Scott.
Did you ever get the problem resolved? I am curious because I’m thinking of using this technique in a project and I’m wondering whether it’s a good way to go.
Cheers
Josh
