Javascript Alert in Flash

Javascript Alert in Flash

The purpose of this short tutorial is not to show you how to activate the javascript alert from Flash. I will show you how easily you can implement the alert function in flash and use it as a native flash method. Because the trace action works only in the I.D.E, this method allows you to send messages outside the I.D.E.

The Actionscript:

Object.prototype.alert = function (message) {

	getURL("javascript:alert('"+message+"')");

}

alert("hi there");

Now you can use this function during development, like in login scenarios:

If(name eq ""){

	alert("Please fill in");

} else {

	//do something else

}
